An annual membership meeting with a total  five clubs represented. One coach who attended can’t even cast a vote because his school won’t recognize wrestling outside of the school season. 

It was posted on this message board well in advance announcing the date. Another one followed up with a location and time. Heck an email from the board was sent out with the proposed amended bylaws a week prior for review. They even identified the positions up for re-election. Then, a reminder email about the meeting was sent out; to every coach in the state on Vandergriff’s list. This was a step in the right direction.

The only way our voice can be heard is to stay engaged. Remember this is for the kids...

How is it that we have a State Chairman with no ties to our state? TNUSA is dying on the vine as several quality coaches I have spoken with say they are finished with the organization. 

So these Quality Coaches are going to deprive their kids the opportunities to become All-Americans at the Worlds Largest and Toughest Tournament??????

They do not wrestle and support Tn then the Coaches are the ones who are not supporting the system and state not the Kids.

You point is so valid, and true.

Some people will never be happy, unless they are unhappy.

The are really only two reasons not to attend the USA Wrestling Cadet/Junior Nationals in Fargo, ND if you want to wrestle in college:

1.  Cost, but that can often be worked out if that is the only issue

2.  Kids & or their coaches have a fear of  getting their backside handed to them and going 0-2.  The reality is if you don't have the skill set to go and compete at this tournament you probably don't need to be wrestling in college.

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
