CBHS really needed McCallie to beat Baylor..  CBHS matches up great with Baylor and if they make the finals they will be the champions..  

The problem they have is they don’t match up very with with McCallie,  so now they have to find a way to get past McCallie first.  Since River Henry is out for McCallie, the CBHS Match will be a very tight match  with McCallie winning it by 3 points.. 

But, If CBHS beats McCallie I think they beat Baylor by more than 15 in the finals..  

if McCalllie meets Baylor in the finals as I think they will, then I’m guessing McCallie doesn’t try to bump their  whole team this time and It’s ends up being a 3 point match with Baylor coming out on top again.. 

As for the ¾ match most would assume that the winner of FR v MBA would automatically make it to ¾ and finish 4th.     But my prediction is that MBA beats FR in the first round but then gets upset by a very strong Knox Grace team in conso semis.  And Knox Grace loses to CBHS in ¾ match..

Would love to know how you see the Bros vs McCallie match up ending up with a 3 point win for McCallie. Care to share where you arrived at that number?

It’s Pretty simple...  MCCALLIE AND CBHS  just wrestled a month ago and Mccallie won by 11.  

CBHS didn’t have Tommy and Mccallie won 195 by 3.  I gave Tommy 4 in my math so that plus 7 for CBHS.  So it now it’s +4 for Mccallie..  River Henry is out for the season so that a huge 12 point swing for CBHS.   So now it plus 8 for CBHS.   Cody Chittum didn’t wrestle last time and if you put him in the line up I have Mccallie pinning out 6-26..  so that’s a plus 11 for McCallie..  which makes the score plus 3 for Mccallie..  Mccallie also has Mason Hughes for this dual.. so that changes 45 and 52..  but I see McCallie still winning 45 but only by 3 this time and I see CBHS still winning 52 but only by 3 this time so that’s a net wash and final score ends up plus 3 for McCallie..  

Granted I’m a McCallie homer but I think I’m being pretty conservative in numbers..  

the math is very tight and leans towards McCallie..  if it wasn’t so tight then Bowers wouldn’t have dropped to 26 just for this dual..  if McCallie won the flip and was able to bump there Lite weights then the math gets a lot worse for CBHS... which is why Bowers is going to weigh in at 26 for state Duals basically only for the McCallie match just to keep McCallie from bumping and force them to go straight up..

And wait. If you think Bowers is coming down to 126, (which I’ve heard differently) you are telling me that he gets pinned ? By who may I ask?

Gawd no..  I don’t see Bowers dropping to 26 if McCallie doesn’t bump..  I’ve got CBHS still getting 6 with Bowers at 32..

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
