Yes, it is really going to be Sunday. Many of the other state chapters host very successful banquets on Sundays. I know it is a change for us. If it turns out to be a mistake then we will adjust next year. We also had trouble finding a facility that was available on a Saturday and large enough for our group and not overly expensive. All of the venues we regularly use in the Nashville area have gone up substantially in price...so Sunday it is. We will go a little earlier because of it. I hope you will support us in spite of it being on Sunday.

We have a really good class this year. We are catching an under recognized group this year. We have a ton of guys who have contributed greatly to youth wrestling. These are the guys getting the little ones hooked. It takes a special coach to work with the young kids...and their "eager" parents. We will honor three coaches responsible for getting so many started in the sport. These three guys have all contributed a ton more than just getting more Wildcats, Copperheads and Irish kids on wrestling mats. Pat Welsh, Chuck Bean and Matt Gorham have been instrumental in growing wrestling in Tennessee and supporting the high school programs around them.

We are honoring these three and four others. I'll give you their names in a separate post.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..

      I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
