How is Heritage Outlaw, Bradley Pride, or Pigeon Forge not on this list? I know this is a combination of all age groups, but I'd be more interested in seeing which team is at the top for tots, bantams, midgets, juniors, and middle school.

It makes it much easier to predict future high school success if you have an idea of who the top middle school teams are now.  I have seen Bradley, Cleveland, CBHS, Nashville Catholic and McCallie and they all look pretty good.  It's great to get super stars but if a high school team can get five freshmen each year that are solid (not super stars) you then have an opportunity to develop the wrestlers.

It'd be easier to rank middle school teams in each area of the state as opposed to the state as a whole. Middle school seasons are weird. In Williamson Co, for example, the season is only 6 weeks (it was just voted on and approved to extend to 8 starting next year) from the first practice to the county championships. It runs from about the end of October to the beginning of December. They don't get a whole lot of competition outside of the county because most schedules run at different times. It's annoying.

You just have to be creative in your scheduling. In my 6 years in Williamson county. I have gotten dual matches with Cleveland, Mt. Juliet, West Wilson, Nashville Catholic, Siegel, Stewarts Creek, Spring Hill, McCallie, Dickson, Blackman, Richview, MBA, FRA, BGA, Harding Academy, and BA. Sometimes things line up right for a particular year and other years they don't. We get 20+ duals in our season and then send our kids into club. We have a handful of kids that just go to club practice and prefer not to compete during the club season. The Wilco season is short 7 weeks this past year from start to finish, however I would rather have it in the late fall then the way Hamilton County does it.... I also prefer our divided season as opposed to what metro does.

We wrestled Bradley's MS team (Lake Forest) and they were a great team. They've been in some nail biters with Cleveland this year with each dual being decided by one match. Wilson Central (Wildcats) & Boyd Buchanan (Buccaneer) are pretty good too.

Other MS teams outside of my own that I've been impressed with in Region 1 teams are Science Hill (Liberty Bell/Hilltopper), Pigeon Forge, and Heritage. Hammer is definitely one of the better teams on the MS level, but I'm not sure they'd beat any of the other top Region 1 teams in a dual. They always score well if you combine all of their age groups, but those kids get split up amongst multiple East TN HS teams (some VA teams too) so no one HS program benefits from an influx of talent quite like the other programs mentioned.

BTW - Normally by this time I would have already posted the individual TNAAU MS rankings, but with other obligations I've been slacking on getting them over to Hamm. I have them about 80% complete, but with Regions coming up I've decided to hold off until I know which kids will stick to certain weight classes. There are a few who could conceivably be #1 in multiple classes, but until Regions are decided I hesitate on posting anything at all.

    • 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.
