Better start working on those transfers 

Don’t worry we will. We want to get several of them just like my friends at Cleveland. They had two champs that transferred there and two high placers. I just need to get on this recruiting trail. Maybe even offer up some NIL money lol

How many if your starters trained with DB growing up ha

Max Titus Garrett Gavin Mason Noah Church Jimmy Dempsey and chase smalling at science hill all trained in the warehouse in the back of my business. TNWA, before that Kingsman…before that Hammer. Certainly you know all those clubs and every kid I mentioned. I’m leaving out a couple but don’t worry, I’m working on getting them back and then some. Looks to me like that’s all the champs and place winners. We have some great coaches in there now and one was a 2X NCAA All American and Runner up…..kids can jump levels in that room buddy. All they have to do is be willing to put in the work. The coaches we have up here is enticing to families to move here to bring their kids there to train. Just look at what they’ve done with those kids I mentioned. Watkins won’t be in lineup for another couple years but that will be a huge pickup…..so to answer your question just about all of them!!! Only had one transfer last year unless you know something I don’t. Don’t worry though, I’ll be working on more.

Tony and Zeke do a great job with all the kids in that club.  I have been very impressed with how well they game plan for the kids.

145- #1 Luke Belcher (Bradley) vs #2 Mason Sells (Blackman)

 

The upset alarm is still ringing. I haven’t flipped on any of my predicted champs, and i’m not starting now. Belcher has been consistently at or near the top of the sport since he entered high school. And there’s a reason for that. He’s extremely talented. Another top tier wrestler in the Ben Smith machine. Sells undoubtedly has what it takes to take him out. He’s shown that he’s on that level twice this year, and twice he has come up just short. The third time is the charm, and Mason becomes the second Sells brother to beat a Bradley Bear for a state title. 

 

Prediction: Sells by decision

the only one i missed.

thanks to everyone who interacted with these. Keeping up with everything wrestling in this state and giving people something to read and talk about is something i enjoy very much. Maybe next year i can try to put together interactive brackets for each weight that allows anyone who wants to participate to fill brackets out and have a little friendly contest!

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
