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.

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.

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.

    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with county’s with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April 
    • It will be interesting to see if the Warren County School District allows this to go before a jury or they settle out of court before going to trial.  My guess is that this case never goes to trial.  If this goes before a jury, they could award even more than the $750K.  I was on a jury where they were asking for 185K and were awarded 1.2 million.  You never know what will happen in that jury room.
