Halls showed up Saturday. Tough team from top to bottom. Impressive not giving up 5 or 6 team points at 126 in the finals vs Signal. Everyone overlooks Halls. 

Don’t think they were overlooked really at all. Quite a few of us had them either winning or being runner up. They did really well, I just wished my Soddy 120 would have at least kept from getting pinned as it would have been a fun rematch vs Signal.

Yeah,  that 120 match was a tough break.  Cook for Halls was scrappy and kept going big all match but was losing decisively right up until the last second. 

I know it's tough to lose like that.  If it's any consolation SD is def the favorite next year.  They're so young and deep. They are going to make multiple runs at a state title going forward. Especially with the reclassification next year.

Calling a kid names is terrible. Not liking the situation is fine and not agreeing with a call is also fine. You can do better. He's still a kid. I nice kid too.:mellow:

Not calling the kid names.  It was a cowardly act, if you are not hurt.  I was sitting right behind the bench and he was clearly fine.  The fact that he wrestled the next match against Bradley (and won) proves it.  Its a bad rule.  If you have to injury default you should have to sit out the next match IMO.  Either way it came and bit him and Central later on.  Poetic Justice BAby!

The rule is in place to protect kids.  I saw the video and Griggs clearly hit his head hard and both officials agreed immediately that the return was illegal.

Injury time is only 1.5 minutes.  There is no way to be sure that a 16-17 year old kid is ok during that short window of time,. especially when trying to evaluate a possible head injury.  It doesn't make the kid a chickens**t or a coward at all.  

Its a good rule.

Texas, good to see you active again these days.How things change, when I started wrestling in Illinois in 1965 in the 6th grade you could apply pressure on a wing, drive a man’s head into the mat as long as your knee touched first, no headgears and riding time in HS. 
Today’s concussion protocols, safety rules that highly limit certain moves and a litigant society removes a lot of the discussion. I’m with you …. Cowardly? Having over a dozen concussions myself, I wished I had shown more thoughtfulness or as some call it…cowardlyness.

    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
