Greeneville takes their top boys there (successfully) for National rankings and college exposure. They have started a girls tournament with the same purpose and intent. Ocean42 could give you probably a better answer. You nailed it. The best exposure comes from wrestling the best kids and these large national tournaments gives coaches a sort of one stop shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delaware I don’t believe is a sanctioned girls wrestling state. TN is TN is also the first state to have an official girls duals state tournament. girls from other states travel to TN to wrestle our girls how does that help grow girls wrestling in TN to take 5 top girls in the state of TN to a Tournament that has less then 8 people in a bracket?

There is definitely room for other teams to win Clarksville never really puts in the starting lineup until the state tournament. But no excuses Cleveland has a great duals team. Beat Rossview and Clarksville on Friday night. Montgomery Central and Riverdale have great lineups as well. But those girls over at Summit are Solid if they only had 3 more girls on their program.

And it’s not a 1 stop shop because the coaches who show up to these tournaments for boys exposure don’t provide a girls wrestling team in college.

You don’t have to like it. She, and her coaches, made their choice and that is good enough. Edited December 18, 2022 by oceansize42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePanther Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, oceansize42 said: For boys the best ranking system by far is is rank wrestlers on rokfin. Why? It doesn't rely on parents and coaches reporting wins/losses to Hamm or Hamm scouring track for results. Rank scrapes Track Wrestling and applies an algorithm to produce class rankings by divisions (A, AA, II) or across the whole state. Of course it costs $15 bucks a month but you can use for the length of the season and cancel so $45 for an entire season. Small price to pay for vastly superior rankings. Plus you can see every kid's matches from across the state, the rankings of there opponents in the matches, their team, as well as big wins from across the states, dual match comparisons, etc., etc., etc. Simply unbeatable. I'm sure at some point rank will add girls but until then I guess those who care are stuck with parents/coaches. Honestly it is so cheap for what it provides I can't imagine relying on individuals "best educated guess". Thanks @oceansize42!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again that’s why she is ranked where she is at until she wrestles Tough competition in TN then her and the rest of Greenville girls will be where they are at on my list of rankings. A quick vacation is cool. but the reason given here did not add up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have only been in some cases 8 girl brackets but there was some hammers. Fargo champs, Fargo all American and lots of other great accolades. It’s a great opportunity to get out of the state in a big arena and see all of the other looks that you will get at a tournament like that. There was state champs that didn’t do so well and those same state champs would dominate in Tn. I think it was a great opportunity for our girls. Wish more would travel outside of the state. Have an open mind and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there if you have a desire for your wrestlers to get better. basically I am saying quality over quantity.

But yea I’m sure there were a few out of the tournament with nice accolades the same can be said for many girls in TN that were all in the same GYM for 2 nights in the same week. Quality and Quantity or just quality of the boys tournament and tag along the girls. Edited December 19, 2022 by cougars130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our little school has some of the very best wrestlers in the country and I will assure you that it’s not because we stayed and wrestled the “Tough” Tn kids that we see all of the time. If you want wrestlers to grow into better wrestlers they have to travel. Just my opinion though. oh and just fyi. Our girls came up on Thursday, wrestled Friday and the are leaving TN again for Florida on Monday. Very excited to see them continue to grow and develop into better wrestlers. on another note if our wrestlers boys and girls want to get a college scholarship I can assure you that nobody care about a TN state title. My son had over 30 Div 1 offers and not a single one ask if he won state in TN. It’s ALL about national accomplishments.
