Congratulations to Tennessee's own Nick Boykin for making the UWW Junior World Team at 97 Kilos. He won his bracket with relative ease and I look forward to seeing how he performs at junior world championships.

Michael Hooker is in the Conso Semis in the 72 Kilo Senior Greco division. He had a 8-0 first period tech over Chandler Rodgers of OSU yesterday. 

Best of luck to all of the Tennesseans competing this weekend!

Hooker Wins in the Conso Finals to take 3rd.

I feel confident that Michael Hooker is probably disappointed in finishing in 3rd place but considering the fact he had major shoulder surgery about one year ago he is on the proper path to making a complete recovery.

Agreed, he lost a close semi-final match 4-2. Very winnable match with little action.

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
