Any surprises or upsets? Saw where Logan Powers made the finals after not being seeded and beating the 1 (Bridgford) and the 4. How he wasn’t seeded I don’t know

Looks like Cole K beat Chad M....looks like the WC region when bonkers at 132.

132s seeding should really interesting now,

Pendley, Brown, and Henderson seeded.

Klingersmith, Manuel placing will be crucial.

A #1 seed will get C. Massa in rd of 16.

I saw where Cole won. That’s a big one. 132 will be crazy

Wasnt trying to impress you. The subject title was Region Updates.

Halls qualified all 14, 10 Champions, 3 runner-ups, and a 3rd in Region 2.

Also, a region with 4 to 7 man brackets.

TSSAA did one heck of a job with this latest team placements in various regions.....horrible.

You’re right I’m sorry. Just my lashing out about the region alignment. Just not fair to kids who have full brackets. If you only have to win once to qualify, something is wrong. 

No problem and I agree that even though difficulty of matches cant be the same across the different regions, the number of matches that lead to qualification should be. TSSAA has always been a money grab.

It’s ridiculous. I have family who wrestles in another state and they have 5 divisions, 1A-5A. Each division has 4 regions. And the state tournament is 16 man brackets. AND they use the main arena in the state that seats 20k for the state tournament. There is no duals tournament. There are guys from literally every division, that go D1 and can compete anywhere. Yet we split classes so that the little guys get a chance. I know it’s like comparing apples to oranges. But if other states can churn out fair tournaments and proper seeding and top talent with 5 divisions, why can’t we do it with 3? Are we really that much worse talent wise than everyone else?

I will say this....in regards to it not being fair....from what I see from the results....it only effects your 3 & 4 place kids.

Most of the regions appear to have gotten their best kids, their real threats to win, into the finals....

So, usually we are arguing about how watered down the word “state qualified” is....now we’re debating what’s fair to kids that have no chance to win?

Am I mistaken here?

I would say that you are correct, I think bump was just saying that its unfair that some only have to win one match to advance, while some have to run the gauntlet. I guess anyone that makes it to state has the chance for a magical run.

    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with county’s with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April 
    • It will be interesting to see if the Warren County School District allows this to go before a jury or they settle out of court before going to trial.  My guess is that this case never goes to trial.  If this goes before a jury, they could award even more than the $750K.  I was on a jury where they were asking for 185K and were awarded 1.2 million.  You never know what will happen in that jury room.
