PurplePanther Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Last year I could rattle off Davis, Howard, McClure, and Smith. I am having difficulty in doing so this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceansize42 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 My nephew goes to school with Carson Gentle at McCallie and he mentioned him to me a few months ago. Junior this year and after watching him wrestle he looks to be a handful. I've never seen Stutts wrestle but have heard good things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard is gone, but #2, #3, and #4 from state tournament are all back this year. Stutts went to Preps last year but I'd have to check to see how he did. I know Howard placed 3rd at the event last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatDad Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) I think Bullock from Anderson County can be pretty good??? But he's not been in the wrestling room for a while... he's been in football. Edited December 13, 2022 by MatDad Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 The problem with the 285lb guys in Tennessee is they don’t know how to take a shot. It’s basically a pushing match and trying to snap someone into a front headlock. When they wrestle someone that has a true offense they rarely know how to defend a shot.

There are 2 heavies this year I know can take good shots and can defend them. They're a little undersized at HWT and were lighter weight kids who grew into the HWT class this season.

dontstopbelieving Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I think Tennessee has been blessed with some super athletic heavyweights in years past, I think back to Patrick Benson, then Bruno Reagan, Boykin, Sammy Evans, Kramer, Coffey and then last year we had Howard and Davis. I don't see any heavyweight in the state this year nearly as dominant as those guys, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong, you've seen the best 3 we have this year IMO all from our side of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would those 3 be? Some of the guys on Pin-Tn haven’t competed yet because of weight. I am assuming Wolfe is one of the lighter guys. Coffey was/is a genetic freak. Not fair to be that big AND have a 6 pack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfe, Redford, & McDonald. Wolfe beat McDonald 3-2 last week in a close one. You're right about Coffey, that guy's lats were so wide I couldn't see around him!
