I am not 100% clear on how region duals work anymore, so please correct me if I am wrong.   

 

But from the information gathered- Bradley wrestlers Cleveland tonight (at Bradley nonetheless).

And if Bradley wins- then the no.1 team in the state won't be going to Franklin next week? (key word there is "if" as I understand Cleveland is highly favored)

Anymore? This is how its been in region 4 for many many years. Bradley, Cleveland, and Soddy, only two of the three teams go to state duals every single year.

You would be correct.

You'e correct. This is what us Region 4 hates during state time. 3 best schools in Tennessee and only 2 gets to go each year. 

Every year the Regionals are at a different region 4 school. Finally back at Bradley this year.

The winner of the Cleveland vs Bradley matchup will advance to state and the winner of the Soddy vs Walker Valley matchup will advance. 

It will be Soddy and Cleveland advancing while a top 3-5 ranked Bradley team stays home. 

The Region 4 of the SEC is just tough, but gotta wrestle your tails off or stay home. :bored:

I think he is well aware of that, and was more asking do they wrestle for a "true second"

Unfortunately we wont be seeing if Soddy can hang with Cleveland again tonight. As always the 2 winners will forfeit out. 

How is that allowed?  In other sports that would make them ineligible for state.  I know in football if you forfeit a playoff game than you are ineligible for playoffs for the next 2 (maybe more?) years.  I understand that the match doesn't matter as the two teams will wrestle again for a state title, but TSSAA really needs some parallelism on their rules across its sports!!

I wouldn't automatically say these two will be wrestling for a state title, they could. But I think there are many other teams that will have something to say about who wrestles for a state title. (Science Hill, Wilson Central, Halls, etc...)

(Unless something has changed)It is allowed in wrestling because each region decides how it will name it's region champion and runner up.  A region dual is not required by the tssaa. The strength of this region means that getting to the duals is the goal.  Where they end up in the bracket in relation to the rest of the state is usually an after thought. 

I do not agree that sports that are inherently different should use the exact same rules. Several years ago this was done with wrestling/basketball off season rules and the results were terrible.  For example, wrestling teams were allowed a certain number of off season scrimmages.  No wrestling team I know of has scrimmages.  Mixing apples and oranges can get confusing. Just the difference in vocabulary is enough.  Football teams are required to "play" playoff games.  Nobody is playing wrestling.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
