I will be there to watch. Been the last 2 years and really enjoyed the tournament when it was the Ed Cressel

They are still doing the Cressel.  We just decided to switch the Brawl in the Hall to a 2 day event because of the interest in the tournament.  I will no longer be running the Cressel Classic but they still plan on having the event each year.  The Brawl is shaping up to be a good tournament!

Excuse my ignorance I'm getting back into TN wrestling but a Bill Brimer tournament and no Greeneville? Does Greeneville still put on the Bill Brimer invitation?

We never had a Bill Brimer invitational. It was the Greeneville Invitational that began in 1980. It did not happen last year due to COVID. At this time I do not know it situation. One of the longest Tournaments in TN. If there was was a Tourney in Greeneville named after Bill it would have been a Dual meet tournament.

Enjoyed getting to watch Norman wrestle. He made quick work and didn’t waste time against his opponents. My old high school had 5 in the finals 4 of them winning it.Finishing 3rd in team points. Avery freshman 170 looks good. The young kids for DB looked good too.

I was there and I was impressed with DB halls and Avery especially Avery with only 10 kids very well coached team
