Thank you for responding. I was starting to think my post were invisible, like me!!  lol.  Seriously though, our region did not get medals.  Did your region, or any others, not get medals??

I’m not sure if any other region got medals or not. Our region did not and I’m not sure why. I heard that TSSAA ordered them late and they haven’t come in yet. I’m curious what other regions have to say.

Oh 100%. Schultz is one of a kind. He’ll be a world champion. I actually had a family member who wrestled Ryan Deakin. That’s another one who I do not envy his opponents. He is incredible. Gonna be a 4 time AA I think and a 2 or 3 time champion. 

Yes, Schultz will almost surely be a World Champion. How bad was it for your family member who wrestled Deakin?:D

This is correct. But he usually doesn’t get points scored on him like that. Even with Isbell. I think Christian just got on a roll and racked up some points late. They also see each other a lot so I wouldn’t be surprised if that had something to do with it. They know each other well

I believe the score was 12-0 Palmer until Isbell caught him in a throw, which made it 12-5. Isbell added 3 more nears to close the gap. Palmer dominated for about 5 minutes and Isbell for the last minute or so. Very well may be a preview of the State Finals match!

It’s crazy that they have it all up the morning after regions end. Just shows again that there is 0 thought and effort put into it. Anyways, it’s probably all subject to change but head over and have a look!

Its a computer algorithm so zero thought is all that's required.  As soon as the last region finals match is finished the state bracket should be completed.   32 man bracket made from top 4 of 8 regions means each bracket has 4 8-man brackets, or 4 "mini brackets" to help eliminate confusion.  Each of the 4 mini brackets has 1 representative from each region, and the 4 representatives from each region will be placed into a different mini bracket.  These 8 man brackets will have 2 region champions, 2 runner ups, 2 3rds and 2 4ths.   An Example of a this mini bracket template:

  1. Region 1 Champion vs Region 2 4th
  2. Region 3 3rd vs Region 4 Runner up
  3. Region 5 Runner up vs Region 6 3rd
  4. Region 7 4th vs Region 8 Champion

Each of these mini brackets is seeded so that the two region champions meet in the finals of the mini bracket, or what is the quarter finals of the whole 32 man bracket.  Furthermore, each of the 4 mini brackets will be placed in order so that each region's champion and 4th is placed on either the top or bottom half of the bracket and the runner up and 3rd is placed on the other.  

So by seeding 1 kid, you lock in the other 3 guys from his region into one of two spots on the bracket, and if you seed 4 kids, mathematically you essentially already know how the whole bracket will look.  All you have to do is just enter the kid's name into the "Region 3 Runner up" slot on your bracket.

 

As far as changing it- if you think the algorithm isn't needed, please go look at the rankings of 113 and see the top 4 in the state are all in the same region.  If you think seeding last years place winners is an odd criteria is to use, I absolutely agree, but I can see that its used to ensure the finalists of last years state tournament wont meet in the quarter finals of this years tournament (assuming they both win their regions).  If you think you can do a better job seeding each bracket yourself, aka want to bring in the human factor, please keep in mind that means you must have seen all 32 wrestlers in each bracket (which you haven't) and a be able to rank them 1-32 without using any bias or favoritism (which you can't).  

Personally I think there should be a seeding meeting, but sadly most coach's wouldn't want to take the time to do this, so it may have to be done by a committee.  However, to be considered for seeding, you still have to win your region and then the committee will seed 1-8 using the 8 region champions.  You could maybe make an argument to  seed 1-16 by using region champions and runner ups, but I think that would open the door to too much bias

    • 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.
