A/AA State Duals Predictions!

[Bump11]

Also on the "better luck next year" comment, tbh id take Blackman over Greeneville. AAA is a whole -nother animal. An animal that i promise you Greeneville would not compete in. Let alone medal or make it to the finals. Not to take anything away from the program or their accomplishments, but AAA just isn't the same. Thats why the split happened. So the smaller schools, like Greeneville, could compete

Maybe I do have you confused but I don't think so. Whoever was in the first seat on the front row was the videographer. Anyway, we will be there early for sure and place our items in the seats so we can see our kids wrestle. I'm not here to argue the big school little school debate. There are great wrestlers in both and I don't want to take away from either. I only responded to the Blackman fan from the front row that liked the entertaining win for Pigeon Forge. And for the record I came and placed my stuff in the seat and came back to someone sitting in it. She did move but then a guy behind her said that was her seat she had been there all day. Nothing was in the seat when I put my stuff there. Anyway, this could go on all day long. Good luck to all in individuals.

I'm doing my best to take the high road here as well.  

 

I do want to point out something about saving seats.  I have been to over a dozen TSSAA State events at the Ag Center to watch my sons wrestle.  You are not allowed to save seats by throwing blankets or leaving your things.  The security will move them if asked.  That is why we get there early, plant our butts in the seats and stay there.

 

Blackman sits in the front row on that side every year...at least for the last 6 years...  Ask anyone.

 

And for the record, I was entertained by the dual which is why I congratulated Pigeon Forge in the first place.  We just wrestled them a a few weekends ago and they are a great team with great kids and coaches.  Both teams put on a great show for all.

B. Video taping or filming is permitted if the taping or filming is for private use or use by the two schools involved and not for public or commercial use. All taping or filming by a school may be approved by the local Game Director, and the Game Director shall assign space.

 

First of all thank you regarding my son. He did wrestle well. Coach Bray was only in 1 seat. Hardly enough for our fans. The bottom line is that you took up space that our parents and fans would have liked to sit in to watch our kids wrestle. It would have been the right thing to do for you guys to have moved to the top and let us have the bottom out of courtesy. Now as far as posting to Facebook so people could watch, that is totally not allowed, reference above. Fans could watch the live stream on the network that was provided. We had 2 grandmothers that can't see well and didn't even get to get close enough to see their grandsons wrestle. Finally, we arrived at 330pm so we could root for Science Hill and sat with them for most of that match. You guys were asked if you would please move and the reply was "No we got here early to get these seats". It's ugly no matter how you sugar coat it. Total disrespect.

You may want to delete your posts as you're giving Greenville a very bad name. I'm sure their coach and probably your son would be embarrassed if they saw this. Not sure what you think coach Bray did to you. but to expect someone to just give you their seat is utter foolishness. Are you handicap? Perhaps you're just bitter because PF whooped that arse. Regardless, you owe coach Bray (whose done a whole lot more for wrestling in this state than you'll ever do) an apology for calling him out for no reason on a public forum. You should be ashamed.

Just for the record, the security officer apologized to us for Blackman's behavior after the match. Only one getting a bad name here is them. And I have given up my seat before to someone from anither school so they could see better. I guess some people are more polite than others.

I'm sure Blackman would love to have you all come in for a dual meet. I'm sure they will provide ample seating for your fans and maybe even have a special front and center seat just for you. Then you could officially meet Coach Bray, the other coaches, and his wrestlers.
