Nice work by the Science Hill.  Studs of the East.

Nice work by the Science Hill. Studs of the East.

I wouldn't count out THS just yet. They have a knack of showing up in the post season, remember last season when SH stompped them in reg season then THS reversed that result, twice.

 

SH won it tonight on two pivotal matches 160 and the 195 match which actually occurred @ 220 after both wrestlers were bumped up. I don't see SH duplicating the 220 match, Spangler didn't look himself tonight. The 60 match could go either way. Swap those two and the match goes to TN 33-30.

 

Should make Region Duals exciting. Loved the set up that the THS folks put together tonight. One of the best matches I've seen in a long time and it has developed into a great rivalry. Wrestling is relevant again in East Tennessee!

One of the best matches I've been a part of since I hit the Region I scene in 1992. 

 

Science Hill left some points on the able as well. Next Thursday will definitely be interesting.

sounds like a great night.  I am anxious to see the results of the next match.

Soddy won by ten early in the season vs WC in tullahoma.

Someone has to do the grunt work.

 

Tennessee has some studs but it appears they really haven't wrestled a high level schedule. A lot of the other top 10 teams have seeked out others in the top 10 for a test. In my mind the jury is still out on them.

 

The Jury is back.  Told you.

[Bump11]

The Jury is back. Told you.

you have a valid point. But just remember what happened last year when they were beaten by the Hill twice in the regular season

[TheHillWrestling]

TN High and Science Hill both have strong teams with studs in their line-ups. Glad they are bringing recognition to East TN! Well done! Keep up the good work and represent at State!

Bradley Central 57 - Soddy Daisy 6   Thursday 1/19/17

[ObserverW]

Soddy Daisy, 3rd best team in the State?

[cobrakid8]

well, Arlington had a chance to prove it earlier and didn't get it done, maybe they would like another shot? But people like you are the reason i will enjoy the smackdown bradley or cleveland will administer in a few weeks at the duals.

 

I do think its Cleveland/Bradley way ahead in first/second with rest way behind in a jumbled mess. right now i would think its science hill/tn high/SD/arlington/WC. soddy i dont think is the third best team in state or AAA just not strong enough from 1-14, they would however finish in top 8 in state if they allowed 3 from region 4 go to state. Glad to see the west and east of the state getting stronger, since 1998 brad/sd/cleveland have won 16 state duals titles while the rest of the state has won 2 Clarksville 2000, Franklin-2005. clevel/sd/brad have finished first and second 6 times in that period and what i could find the two teams from the chattanooga area has never finished less than 4th, so there is a reason why they get the benefit when rankings come out, once the rest of the state starts catching up reguarly they will also.

Cobra- I think everyone in the state KNOWS that BC and Cleveland are by far the 2 best teams in the state this yr. Both should obviously run through everyone else on the way to a well anticipated finals showdown. I know the other 14 coaches would probably never say this to their teams or anyone else for that matter, but they should know by now that they are wrestling for third place this yr. There will be 14 coaches around the state praying that their team draws anyone but BC or Cleveland in the first rd. Whomever finishes in third this year will have coached their team to the best of it's ability and should be very happy to have finished third, "if" they coach with their brain and not their heart.
