durdon Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited June 10, 2021 by durdon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbg Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited June 11, 2021 by durdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durdon Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I couldn’t edit my first post, so I reposted adding Bryce Barton who is going to UTC. Question for the old timers on this forum. Is this the best 2 year run in Chattonooga Area School history? Class of ‘21 now has 8 D1 wrestlers from Chattonooga area Mccallie Cagle – Virginia Taylor – Pitt Whitworth – Harvard Cleveland Bradford - Citadel McDaniel - West Point Signal Mountain Uhrochuck - West Point Muschel – Campbell Hixson Barton - UTC 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 12 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.
