Michigan has done this for over 15 years.  can send 14 wrestlers to districts. with no more than 2 in a weight class and all of them can score.   you have 14 scorers regardless.   ive seen teammates wrestle each other for state titles.  ive brought this up for years at the coaches meeting at the state tournament and nothing.  this was the first year i did not speak about this because it will probably never  happen

Coach Kramer, in your opinion would this help grow the sport in Tennessee

i think it helps teams that cant fill all 14 weight classes but have multiple kids in the same weight class.  It helps those kids who get pigeon holed in a weight class to get a chance to shine .  ive seen plenty of programs who might have 2 really good heavyweights or 106 lbers who both have the talent to do well at state.  I think it helps give kids and teams opportunities that they haven't had before.  for example this year my 106 took 2nd,  when he was out sick his back up went 33-2 on varsity. this kid could not bump up because the 113 was a state medalist.  this also happens a lot at heavyweight.

I would like to see a team like Wilson Central be allowed to enter 2 kids per weight classification (28 total wrestlers) into the region tournament.  The only stipulation being that you as a coach would be required to designate which wrestler per weight classification would be allowed to score points before the regional tournament began.  If your point scorer for a weight classification were to go 0-2 in the region and not advance to the substate you would just lose any opportunity to score points at that weight classification going forward even if the backup were to become a state champion.

Why not let everyone score?

Personally I am good with everyone being allowed to score team points.  I just felt that it would stand a much better opportunity to pass if a team were only allowed one point scorer per weight classification.  I would even go so far as to say that as a state we should make this change immediately and also place everyone back together for one unified state championship.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • 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.
