Hoping they have some success, but from looking at the line ups, they may have a long weekend.

 Especially our girls team…..only half the weights represented???  I thought TN has had a growth in participation?

IMO there is absolutely zero reason to take any team (boys or girls) to a national duals tournament if 90% of the weight classifications are not filled .  If this is true it is a complete waste of money!

It is a good reason for Wrestlers to go.. They get more bank for the Buck as compared to Individuals. They can possibly pick up 9 regular matches and any Exhibition matches  where at Fargo they may only get 2.  

Great opportunity to Wrestle Quality Matches.  Plus only requirement is to have the bare minimum of Competitors,

It says he is for the girls. I mean no disrespect to him, but for a nationals team, maybe a more known quantity. Did no one else want it?

He is the Assist coach at Siegel from Michigan.  He has served as one of the Coaches on the Mens teams in the Past.  I know he Wrestled in the Spartan Last year in Jacksonville and I believe won his Division and followed that up with a Win in Vegas this year at the Open for Greco.

Oh so he’s new over there?

Wait. Siegel placed 25th in girls and 23rd in boys at this year’s state tournament. So this was their best coaching option? With a Bosken, Jenna Morris, or either girls coach from Clarksville or Rossview sitting out there? Did they not want it?

i again mean no disrespect, but I hate to think that a National team coaching position is a “pulse and you have it” slot.

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
