Final Predictions and Thoughts

Holy crap. That literally took me almost two whole days to get through. Hope y'all enjoy them. I threw together some final predictions and some numbers based off my predictions on here.

 

Top 5 teams

1. Cleveland (10 medals, 3 finalists but I didn't have them winning any weights. I'm sure that will end up being wrong)

2. Wilson Central (6 medals, 1 champ)

3. Beech (5 medals and 3 champs)

4. Science Hill (5 medals, no champs)

5. Knoxville Halls/Summit/Soddy Daisy/Bradley Central (4 medals and 1 champ each)

 

I'd bet my team scores are probably a little off.

 

Best Match:

All of the finals I have are great matchups. If I had to narrow it down to one lightweight and one upperweight I'd have to pick..

 

106-

Trey Bates (Beech) vs Trae McDaniel (Cleveland)

and

195-

Devon Gibson (Bradley Central) vs Nathan Walling (Mt Juliet)

 

 

Most Outstanding Wrestlers:

Lower:

120-Brayden Palmer (Beech)

Upper:

Hwt: Michael Kramer (Wilson Central)

 

 

I'm ready for some wrestling. I'm positive most of my picks will be off but hey, that's what makes it fun. Anybody can win on any given day! See you at the cow palace! Side note, if anybody disagrees with me and wants to yell at me to my face for past events ill be in the Summit section probably chasing around my two kids. Come on over!

Another HS wrestling season has came and gone. That being said, I saw several GREAT finals matches on the AAA mat. The "worst" finals match that I remember right off the top of my head was Fowler- Grayson at 170 and I think the score was around 10-5 or so, maybe 12-5. Most of the DII and A-AA finals matches were a little more lopsided or resulted in pins, which SHOULD BE the case with a smaller pool of talent to choose from at the smaller scholls and some of the states' elite wrestlers being enrolled at private schools. I said that to say that SOME, NOT ALL of the medalist in the large school weight classes should be thankful as well that there is large/small school split bc I saw some A-AA kids tonight that would have earned a medal regardless of their schools classification. A few that come to mind are Uhorchuk 106, Gross 126, Bennett 126, Knight 182, Evans 195 and Lynch 220. Yes, they are all champions in A-AA (Bennett runner up) and I'm DEF not saying All them would have been champions in AAA, but they could/would have placed in large schools too. I also believe that some of the A-AA and DII medals were "handed out" to some of the lower placing kids in some of the weaker brackets, but that's the setup we have. Congratulations to all the Champions and medalist regardless of your schools classification!

    • 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.
