I went to states and watched him last year in the finals. I don’t know if he gets beat this year or again in a high school season. If he does the kid will have to be a stud.

Elizabethton is supposed to wrestle at Avery on December 5 but I think they’re gonna move it if we move on this week.

That should be interesting. Avery has a good chance to win it all this year. Might have 8 kids that could win state. How many Elizabethton football players wrestle. I wrestled at Avery back in the day.

I believe there are 9-10 this year. That’s the most we’ve ever had that played football as well. We have one returning state champ and probably 3-4 more capable of doing it. We are preseason #4 in the state.

That’s cool. I try to keep up since Elizabethton is the closest with wrestling. Avery has 3 defending state champs. One is going for his 3rd at 138. They have a sophomore at 220 that won it as a freshman and placed 2nd in the high school nationals in the freshman division last year. One returning state champ as a freshman is hurt right now. 2 kids that have finished 2nd in states at 120 and 195.Avery is loaded this year. What weight is Elizabethton returning champ at.

195. He is a junior this year. He has worked out with Avery’s 220 before. He said he was a beast. Our 113 placed second and heavyweight placed fourth or fifth last season.  They are both seniors this year. 

[Appvol]

That 195 match then could be really good. The kid at 220 he wrestled with that’s his older brother. The kid out hurt that won it at 106 as a freshman would of been at 113. Hopefully it will get postponed because Elizabethton is going to Cookeville.

I just think weight room accountability at Elizabethton is higher. You could skip the weights at Cloudland and still start I don't think you could at Elizabethton. Same as academics if you want to learn at Cloudland you absolutely can but also if you are a athlete and want to slack and get by you can. I did. 

You always have a few like yours who are willing to put in the work and do it right but that's not the case with the majority I don't think. You are closer to the program and know more of what it's like now than I do. 

About the academics,you can get just as good of an education from the county schools but you have to be willing to work for it, Elizabethton may offer more but you still have those teachers that let the athletes slack off.

I was wondering if you were the uncle across the state line. The cousin might be the best out of all of them. Believe he got a real chance to wrestle in college.

Stevens son is an monster on the mat.

Yeah I'm sure you have a few of those teachers everywhere. Its just what's best for you and yours. It has worked out good for my brother and his kids but that's not always the case I know county kids that tried it and ended up coming back.

Steven is a dang beast himself. I've saw him throw up 400lbs + on the bench.

It’s still football season which is a team sport. Let’s quit massaging egos until we bring a state championship home.
