Question for the old timers on this forum.  

Is this the best 2 year run in Chattonooga Area School history? 

Class of ‘21 has 7  D1 wrestlers

Mccallie 

Cagle – Virginia 

Taylor – Pitt

Whitworth – Harvard

Cleveland 

Bradford - Citadel

McDaniel - West Point

Signal Mountain 

Uhrochuck - West Point 

Muschel – Campbell 

 

Class of 22 has 4 D1 Commits from Chattonooga area schools so far:

Baylor 

Corday – West Point

Dendy – Wyoming 

Harper – Wyoming 

Cleveland 

Chittum – Minnesota (he has reclassified for class of ‘22) 

 

Even without the 4 potential kids in the Chattonooga area Schools in ‘22 class who might wrestle D1, that’s 11 D1 wrestlers coming out of the Chattonooga area Schools over the 2 classes. 

 

Has anything close to this ever happened before? 

 

I would also guess also that this is the best 2 year run in TN State high School history too.  
Statewide Class of 21 has 12 D1 Wrestlers with the Addition of:

Beech

Bates – Central Michigan 

Christian Brothers 

Dalrymple - UTC

Dobyns-Bennet

Watkins  Campbell

Hurst - UTC  

Committed for Class of ‘22

Lakeway

Roller – Virginia 

 

I count another 6 kids Statewide in ’22 that probably will end up wrestling D1. TN has the potential to produce 22 D1 wrestlers in these two classes.

IMO, it's great that the wrestlers have decided to leave the comforts of home to become student athletes in other parts of the country.  When we are discussing the kids going to one of the military academies, IVY League schools, BIG 10 schools, etc... it just goes to prove that academics play a major role in the recruiting process.  When a student athlete has excellent grades along with test scores it provides them with life changing opportunities.

4 of the 7 trained at HCWC for a significant amount of time.

13 state titles amount the 4 of them, too. 

But, the most interesting fact is that not only did the 4, McDaniel, Uhrochuck, Taylor and Bradford all train at HCWC with Josh for 3 middle school years together, they were all 4 almost the exact same size the entire time so they were all training partners. There were some crazy battles in that room over those years. Plus, they had Chittum who was just just a weight class bigger than them, training with them  and throwing them around and keeping them in check. 
 

I honestly don’t think any of the four would be wrestling at a D1 school next year if it hadn’t been for the other 3 and Chittum hadn’t been there pushing them.  
 

To his credit, Josh knew early on that Emory and Daniel most likely were not going to end up at Cleveland but he still pushed and challenged them as hard as the other kids.  I will always be thankful for Josh for that.

I couldn’t edit my first post, so I reposted adding Bryce Barton who is going to UTC.

    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
    • If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
    • I say over as well. Barney, regarding the move to 4A, will the cross-town blowhards move up as well??
