The only tournament I've heard anything about is catholic invitational. They said they were trying to do two separate individual tournament weaker teams on Friday and tougher teams on Saturday since most schools aren't being allowed to do 2 day tournaments.

So if that’s the case, for these schools, will they make an exception if they qualify kids to the state tourney? Will they participate in the regionals and forfeit at state?

So you are for sure saying top 9? Where are your placers gonna be for that to happen? You have one returning placer and nobody else was even close. Or are you gonna claim to be the 9th best team when you go two and out at state team duals?

At least we have a returning placer. Sending as many underclassmen as we did last year, I believe we'll be fine this year.

I hope your team is able to reach the potential you see in them. It is so devastating for a coach to see so much potential that does not come to fruition not only for their success but for their kids success they have invested so much time into them. Good luck to your team and all the teams this year!

This year will be successful no matter what, but we'll be fine. However, "devastating" is not the word I'd use in this case (especially since very few are giving us a chance). Devastating to me would be like interviewing for a dream job only to get turned down and learn later that I had one of the worst interviews ever.

Any word on where the state tournament will be? The Free Press is reporting that the Ag Expo will be unavailable due to being used for either testing or vaccine distribution re: COVID.

I have been told of two scenarios:

1.  Municipal Auditorium in Nashville.  Not sure that this is a possibility due to the mayor of Davidson County having most everything closed.

2.  splitting the D1 & D2 tournaments.  It is my understanding the D2 schools have ask for the tournament to be moved to the new MBA arena, McCallie or Father Ryan.  

Who knows what will happen.

Wherever it is held im assuming aaa will be a two day tournament with the new rule allowing 6 matches a day during the postseason.

JSamson7, what team do you represent and support?

Nothing sneaky. I just appreciate a man who supports his team that hard. Actually admire it. I support 2 teams hard, graduated and wrestled for Johnson City Science Hill 1972 and Greeneville High School a program that I started in 1978.

I support all of Tennessee wrestling, but I pull the hardest for the East TN kids. Having lived in the Mid State, Knoxville area (Maryville) and Chattanooga I've been lucky to see how the best in each area got to where they're at. All of the relationships I formed at UTC have helped me stay involved with the sport over the years, but Tennessee will always be near and dear to me.

Anonymity online is fun, right Jason?

    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
