MTWOA Grand Championship 2017

A bit of a rant, today I went and watched the Junior Varsity and Freshman tournament and saw some really good matches and some very lop sided matches and talent level. It happens I understand...but then you start realizing you recognize more and more of the wrestlers from schools VARSITY teams and with impressive win records. This tournament is implemented to allow the wrestlers to have a more competitive edge not to bring Varsity wrestlers to beat up on the other wrestlers who didn't have the opportunity to wrestle much during the regular season. I came home and investigated more and saw many schools listed there wrestlers improperly as a wrong losing record or a Zero 0-0 record , and yes many of those either won or were in the Championship bout. Independence, Mt. Juliet, Nolensville, Franklin Road Academy, Page High, Cane Ridge and many others were guilty.. If you care to check this out for yourself.. its on Track Wrestling and shameful for a sport that is supposed to teach integrity and rewards for hard work and is RAN by Referees. Saddens me and yes it was pointed out by at least a few coaches. Even one of the TSSAA state ranking officials was there and turned a blind eye to his own teams wrestlers criteria. Some or the criteria? have a sub 500 record, be designated as JV junior Varsity etc.. Shameful and shame on those who took Glory for a little bit of ribbon and metal. 

 

     I am sure some will feel offended,but no doubt the intent is to get those kids who have not had many opportunities to wrestle and when they have it was against a top ranked wrestler who has been wrestling for 10 years, many wrestlers get put off in this sport and when our Adult coaches, referees and others not only allow but proselytize these actions it is disturbing!

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
