Wipperman is not even the best 171 in his region. Valentine of Lipscomb I think is better. I saw Wipperman wrestle Luttrell at Lipscomb in a quad match & Wipperman to me seems to wrestle defensively. He never shot on Luttrell not the first time. Physically, he looks good but he will have to show me more than what he showed that night to make a believer out of me that he will be in the state finals. Valentine & Wipperman did not wrestle because of Valentine not making weight at that date. But Valentine is at 171 at this time as matter of fact he won the Ft. Campbell tourney.

Well, we do know a little more about 171 after this weekend. Wipperman beat Valentine 4-2 for 3rd place in the Ryan Invitational. In the semis, Wipperman lost to Luttrell 5-4 while Marable beat Valentine. Wipperman must have read Twittycanes post since he took Luttrell down with a nice leg shot in the first period for the first points of the match, which was tight and could have gone either way. Marable looked really strong in beating Luttrell by decision but, Brothersboy, he certainly did not kill Luttrell----it was a hard fought match but with Marable in

control for the better part of it. Since they were in opposite brackets, Wipperman and Marable did't meet and, thanks the public-private split that plagues our sport, I don't guess we will get a chance to see them wrestle.

I think Wipperman is wrestling 189 this year or maybe he only wrestled there in the Father Ryan match. I saw that match and he didn't look like a finalist to me. He got beat convincingly by Greenwood from Ryan.

 

He was bumped up due to the number of FRA wrestlers who were out for that match. He still weighs about 171, and wrestling guys who weigh 18 pounds more than you is a large disadvantage, especially against Father Ryan, so dont sell him short.

    • 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.
