Bump11 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 what’s the o/u on the number of kids that change weights at regions to avoid him at state? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTNFan Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great for wrestling in the state of Tennessee! How did he end up at Cleveland and not back at McCallie? Chittum is fun to watch and would have added a potential great match up or two with rival Baylor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in TN is going to provide a great match-up with Chittum. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i believe you’re right. i was confused when i saw he was coming back because his competition level is going to take a major hit. i think MAYBE Whitworth would put up a fight. maybe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffmar4 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Apparently no one in Oklahoma can give him a good matchup either. Perhaps the move puts him closer to the RTC in Chattanooga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) The rumor is that Blair is being forced to wrestle a schedule that stays within the borders of New Jersey and only a handful of NJ teams are willing to schedule Blair. Most of the Blair wrestlers returned to their home states but they will be back at Blair next season. The question that I have is how is he eligible at Cleveland High School after he just competed in an "All-Star" match against the kid from Oklahoma. The TSSAA does not allow baseball, basketball or football players to do this until the official high school season is over. Not trying to stir the pot but asking a legitimate question.

I have been wondering the same thing myself. To me it seems like he would not be eligible but who knows in times like these? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontstopbelieving Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think most people outside of Cleveland are wondering the same thing, what I was told by some other coaches was that tssaa is being really relaxed this year about wrestling outside of tssaa sanctioned events. Cody isn't the only example, their where tssaa wrestlers who competed in the Nuway tournament in gatlinburg last weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TSSAA apparently changed that rule at some point. There were also a couple of kids from Lakeway Christian Academy that competed in-season at an event not as part of their team that got me to looking at the handbook again. Not going to go search through the handbook now but the gist of it was that they have removed the "all-star" event restriction from sports with an individual championship. There is even a FAQ that covers that exact scenario for golf and then mentions it would be the same for other sports and names wrestling. Certainly interesting to me because it seemed like that was the type of rule change that would have received a little more visibility in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffmar4 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 If that's the case, glad TSSAA made that change. Kids shouldn't lose a year of wrestling or eligibility while trying to find a way to stay competitive and continue to improve in this sport right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
