More like a hashtag, but when your own crowd is yelling #DontGetUp then it's pretty bad. I've seen better dives from Greg Louganis, but that one was pretty bad.

Hmmmm.  Interesting. I wasn't there. I have made a few inquiries and some said that it was a legit call. Was that kid really injured? Did he Wrestle in individual regions?

You tell me, if your own crowd is telling you to take the dive for the DQ you know what's up. I've been on the opposite end of this exact situation against PF and they did not encourage their kid to take the DQ.

Just to set the record straight:
 

I just watched the video back, they were three feet from the cylinder, PF kid had Jeffrey’s left hand in cross wrist, lifted him up, swept his feet left to right and returned him on his head and shoulder to the trapped arm side. 
 

Was very proud of our Fairview parents and wrestlers. No chants, in fact you could hear a pin drop. Small golf clap when injury default was announced and even though we had just won our first ever school team championship, we still sent our next wrestler out. We never even celebrated our victory until our name was announced as state champs. 

Heres the link to the match for reference.

This account matches what a buddy of mine who is a Nolensville assistant coach told me happened. He said it was an evenly matched dual.

Sounds like some sour grapes from PF. Must be why they didn’t stay around to accept the trophy afterwards.

A few final thoughts of mine heading into the big dance…

Matches I’m Most Excited For

  1. 182lb Finals - #1 Noah Hill (Forrest) v. #7 Kevin Muschel (Signal Mtn.)—From what I heard, Muschel jumped out to an early lead over Hill in the Regionals before getting caught on his back. I get the feel that Muschel is more than just muscle and seems like an intelligent kid. I’m sure he stay off his back this time. If he does, I see him taking down the defending state champ to walk away with the title in a high scoring 12-10 battle. Would he be the lowest seed to ever win one in any of the divisions? Assuming both men get there, this has the potential to be an instant all-time classic.
     
  2. 126lb Finals – #1 Daniel Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.) v. #2 Trevor Lewis (Hixson)—a rematch of last year’s 120lb championship where Daniel won 3-0. Both are state champions with Trevor taking home a title the year before (not in same weight as Daniel). Can he reverse last year’s outcome? I’m going to say no and pick Div. 1 Army commit by a score of 6-2, but I love watching both of these warriors. Can’t wait for this one!
     
  3. 182lb Quarter Finals - #2 Joseph Skidmore (Pigeon Forge) v. #7 Kevin Muschel (Signal Mtn.)—I can’t believe we are going to get to see this one in the Semis…get’s my heart racing just thinking about it. Both guys have finished 2nd in the state twice, hate that one of them won’t get another shot at a title, but I’m saying Muschel flexes his muscle in this one and comes away with a 3 point victory. He’ll have an easier time in the Semis with Kendrick Curtis of Fairview before getting a rematch with Mr. Noah Hill in the finals.

      4a. 132lb Semi Finals – #1 Hunter Johnson (Greeneville) v. #5 Riley   
           Lippincott (Nolensville)
— 
            I do think Johnson is the better wrestler, but Riley has also wrestled at
            138lbs this year some too,  so the strength advantage shouldn’t be as big of
            a factor for Johnson here. I’m calling a 6-4 upset for Lippincott in what may
            be the best match of the tournament.

     4b. 132lb Finals – #5 Riley Lippincott (Nolensville) v. #3 Brice Barton
           (Whitwell)
—I continue to hear great things about the Barton kid and know
           he’s pinned Riley twice this year, but I also heard Riley pinned Barton once
           last year, so if Riley pulls an upset over Johnson in the semis, I expect 
           this to be a wild one. Still going to stick with my original pick though and go
           Barton in a close one, 3-2. I’ve  watched Lippincott for several years though
           and know what he’s capable of. He’s the only guy in this weight to wrestle for
           a title, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him win
            this wide open weight class.

       5. 138lb Quarter Finals - #2 Kale Albritton (Signal Mtn.) v. #7 Noah Dyer
           (Pigeon Forge)
—Two really exciting wrestlers. I’ve been a fan of Kale’s but
           the better wrestler Is the lower ranked guy in this one. Kale keeps it close
           early, but Noah prevails in the end by a score of 10-6 to really give PF a jolt
           in the team race.

OTHERS TO WATCH:

  • 145lb Quarter Finals - #2 Riley Bennett (Fairview) v. John Pittman (Gibbs)
  • 145lb Finals – Bennett/Pittman winner v. #1 Josh Parton (Pigeon Forge)
  • 220lb Finals – #1 Parrish Pacetti (Hixson) v. #2 Jonathan Morton (Elizabethton)—I know Morton has 2 titles already to his name and Pacetti only has 1, but I really like Pacetti to get his hand raised in this one.
  • 285lb Semi Finals – #2 Jacob Clevenger (Fairview) v. #3 Kaymon Overton (East Nashville)
  • 285lb Finals – Clevenger/Overton winner v. #1 Mustafi Algarawi (Pigeon Forge)

 

Going to be some great matches all day starting in the Quarter Finals! 2 of my top 5, and 3 of the 11 matches I have on my list all come in that round of 8. Anybody see any big ones that I missed? 

Also, does anyone know how I can stream the event online and know what it costs? Thanks! :-)

NFHS network. I think it’s $11 and you subscribe for a month. Make sure you cancel when you’re done or they will keep billing you.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
