Incredible match! Reineche wrestled to the whistle and was (rightly) rewarded. Holy cow...and on the other side of the bracket we have Ethan D just tearing it up. Can you imagine a TN state finals rematch in the finals of National Preps?!

 

Pretty sure we just saw one between Elkin and Eason in the round to place as well!

Congrats to the placers that I am aware of so far.

 

Gabriel Elkin - MBA - 120 - consi's - will place top 8

Raymond Eason - Father Ryan - 126 - consi's - will place top 8 (eliminated Michael Elkin in round to palce)

Brock Herring - McCallie - 132 - consi's - will place top 8

Trevor Brown - CBHS - 138 - consi's - will place top 8

Bryce Wittman - MBA - 145 - consi's - will place top 8

Mason Reiniche - Baylor - 152 - champ semi's - will place top 6

Ethan Dendy - McCallie - 152 - champ semi's - will place top 6

Khamari Whimper - Baylor - 170 - champ semi's - will place top 6

River Henry - McCallie - 285 - champ semi's - will place top 6

 

As I type this Judah Duhm and George Hooker still need to wrestle their round to place matches.

Garrett House: Where were King, Simpson, and Wesnoski? I would of thought King would of gone deep into the bracket as well as Simpson. Why didn't Tommy Brackett not get a wild card?

King announced he was finished following his fourth state title; that was his ultimate goal, and I think he finished out on his own terms. I'm not sure Simpson has ever wrestled in the offseason during HS. Didn't hear if Brackett applied for a wild card, I believe only Brown made the trip from Memphis

Marathon,

 

I think the answers on Simpson and King above were pretty spot on but I don't know on those kids myself. Regarding Brackett, the simple answer is he didn't apply to enter the tournament.

 

CBHS really doesn't make a big deal out of prep nationals like some of the other DII schools and Tommy in particular is I am sure ready to focus on Greco.

Eli King made the decision that he wanted to focus on academics in college and like his father and grandfather become a dentist.  With all the new healthcare regulations for physicians many bright young people are electing to go the route of dental school due to the profession having less government regulations than traditional medicine so admittance to dental school has become even more competitive than ever before.  It would be very difficult to wrestle at a high NCAA D1 level and still make the necessary grades for dental school admittance.  I can assure everyone that most every major D1 wrestling program inquired about Eli King and was interested in having him in their program.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
