Congrats!!! I agree, one of the teams in the country, dynasty for sure.... how dId they do against bradley and cleveland? They are by no doubt the third best team in the state.

 

Ha! You're always good for some cutting edge analysis, TD. Track is telling me they actually scored more team points than any team, D1 or D2, in the entire tournament - 239.5 vs 236 for Bradley and 171 for Cleveland.

 

I'm sure you're trying to reference the meaningless tournament early this year when Cleveland defeated a Ryan team that didn't include something like four or five members of their final lineup, but maybe we can just admit that come February, when it actually matters, Coach Simpson seems to know how to put together a lineup that can win it?

 

Of course, I'm sure you weren't making these snarky posts last year when FR waxed both Bradley and Cleveland in that same tournament with their full lineup...better to pick and choose when you can claim superiority, right?

 

Internet squabbling aside, congrats again to Father Ryan...quite the incredible run they've put together.

 

Other thoughts:

 

* Great to see Dendy get his title, one of five of McCallie's six finalists to win...a great finals run for the Blue Wave that wasn't quite enough to overcome Ryan putting 13 in the top four.

 

* Christian Brothers suffered one of the great collapses I think I've seen in recent state finals (referring to both Duals and Traditional) - picked by many here to win at least one title, the Purple Boys from Memphis settle for bronze in both contests

 

* What happened to Baylor?

 

* Nice to see a number of schools not traditionally thought of as powerhouses who represented well in the consolations

This is about the dumbest comment I have ever read. The scores in the two separate tournaments aren't comparable. D2 has A small number of teams, while D1 has close to 100 teams (???).

I don't want to get into a hypothetical discussion on who is better, but the comment above is completely irrelevant.

Oh, I did not realize that they were missing 1/3 of their team....you are right then. I apologize. NOW which 5 were they missing that would have made a difference on the match???

What are you apologizing for?

 

For not making the same snarky posts when FR was smoking both Bradley and Cleveland? For not recognizing that FR scored more points than any team in tournament, outscoring Cleveland by nearly 70? For thinking a tournament in early December was indicative of the final squads a team would produce in February?

Wait, D1 only has one bracket? Or is it split up into separate, smaller brackets?

Yeah, my bad, I guess I was just confused when you said "D1 has close to 100 teams (???)." because I didn't realize that a D1 bracket contained “close to 100 teamsâ€!

 

…unless I’m not reading Track right, in which case it suggests that no D1 bracket contains anywhere CLOSE to “100 teams,†and no D1 wrestler had to get through anywhere near “100 teams†to place.

    • You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.
    • Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl
    • I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.
    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
