Congrats to our 3 TN boys for going undefeated at the Junior National Duals, and earning their spots on the All Tournament Teams

GRECO
Garrett Bowers (CBHS) 145 6-0
Parker Peterson (Father Ryan) 195 5-0

FREESTYLE
James Howard (McCallie) 285 8-0

Tennessee had a large number of boys come home with winning records, and all of them came home with a ton more experience.

A special thanks to the coaches that spent almost 2 weeks getting these boys ready, and competing. TN is on the rise, and everyone should be proud of these kids. They represented us so well.

Team Freestyle Results

Georgia Black defeated Tennessee 45-23

Tennessee defeated Indiana 46-22

Nebraska Blue defeated Tennessee 52-17

Georgia Black defeated Tennessee 36-32

Pennsylvania defeated Tennessee 54-14

Texas defeated Tennessee 38-29

Tennessee defeated Alaska 40-34

Tennessee defeated North Dakota Blue 36-31

 

So overall a 3-5 as a team. Note that Indiana had 4 forfeits. I hope we can continue to improve as a state and put together some stronger performances in the future. Our biggest hurdle is still the division that has been caused by our term extending leader Mr. Bowers. That being said we are having a ton of success outside of this competition at the youth and Highschool level.

I'd hardly say that 3-5 (and if Indiana had 4 forfeits then we really would've been 2-6) is worth putting the word success anywhere near this post.

 

Who coached the teams this year? Was it Jeremy Welder for freestyle and Pete Miller for Greco? They're the best two coaches in the state in those disciplines and if they're not the coaches anymore then it's just another thing Bowers has screwed up.

 

Last year we had a fantastic showing at Jr duals. Finishing top ten in Greco. What happened?

Suggesting that we are capable of better than 3-5 (apparently should've been 2-6) and saying that if the coaching staff was subpar then we need a new director IS making a suggestion to better build TN wrestling. Saying Bowers needs to go is not breaking it down. Its stating something a majority in this state already know and would be a step forward for our state. As opposed to an obvious step backwards.

Question: what is it that you have done to help build wrestling in the state?

More than you know. However, I choose to stay anonymous. I don't have to get on here and tout my credentials. I know what I've done. The simple fact is so long as Bowers is in charge we're going to go backwards. As evidenced by our dismal performance at Jr Duals. We've been saying this for a while now and you come to his aid everytime. You're the only one. Nobody likes Bowers.

We've gone backwards? Really? We now have FULL teams participating at both Schoolboy nationals and Juniors. We now have more events in TN for FS and Greco, but we've gone backwards?

On a side note, congratulations to former Chattanooga Moc/teammate Bobby Cook on Team Oklahoma's success. Cook has coached Team Oklahoma for a few years now and was a stud transfer from Syracuse back in the late 90's. His arrival (with Bob Hanson and others) started the run for a few of our SoCon Championship teams.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
