Hahahaha, let me know the next time at a national level tournament Cleveland takes all their wrestlers to compete so they can’t whine when they finish in the 30’s that it was only because they took 4 guys! I’m so sure that Baylor has just dodged the calls from Knox lol. You hear one side of the story and cling to that while I see Baylor traveling all across the country to the toughest tournaments there are because iron sharpens iron.
 

Baylor wants to be one of the best programs in the nation while Cleveland over here touting winning a bunch of TN state titles when I’m sorry but TN wrestling isn’t anywhere as good as a ton of states. Heck I mean even the best wrestler that came out of Cleveland (Chittum) left to go private school before taking one last hurrah at Cleveland for 1 season and this coming from a guy that really dislikes private schools and had a stepson that wrestled for higher calling lol

I agree with everything you have said Cobra. Umnoo honestly just sounds jealous of Baylor.

So Baylor is a want to be best program in the nation and TN wrestling isn't anywhere as good as a ton of states, then why is Baylor not the defending state dual champion. Baylor continues to have some nation level wrestlers, not sure about a nation level program. They may need to hit that transfer portal a little harder.

Cleveland and Baylor wrestled against each other at least twice in the last five years.  

December 2018 Baylor defeated Cleveland 33-32 (Al Miller Duals)

December 2021 Cleveland defeated Baylor 33-31 (Lake Norman Duals)

Now I'll wait for the all injury reports that dictated why the duals were so close.

FYI: Cleveland and McCallie wrestle tonight.

FYI Mccallie’s JV team.

Mccallie opted to keep out 3 of their best 8th graders that will be varsity starters. Also missing quite a few football players. They did wrestle a handful of varsity wrestlers but they held out the 8th grade studs, obviously the Gentles’ and JMac will be coming soon too.

The Catholic Invitational and Beatdown in the Mountains. 

2 individual tournaments that will have a big impact. Halls, Cleveland,  Bradley, Soddy, Pigeon forge,  Gibbs all expected to be at Heritage. 

The Catholic one has less firepower but a lot of really good kids if FR, Boyd Buchanan,  BGA show up.  A chance for them to mix it up with some of the public schools.

Pat Simpson of Father Ryan said that they are sending their JV to the Knoxville Catholic Tournament.

It does. Imagine going to do all that and being super successful...

 

...then losing to a team across the city in a different division.

 

Some people care about those instate rankings significantly more than others. 

Social media would lead one to believe an antithetical viewpoint.  I don't know if anyone crows more about their ranking than Cleveland.  Every time a poll comes out where they are ranked #1 in an arbitrary list, they rush to social media to post.  Heck, their head coach was on the SE facebook page last week complaining about how his team isn't ranked high enough. Not a flattering look...

 

Cleveland hasn't wrestled a top 25 team since 2017.  It's pretty easy to understand why they stopped traveling out of state after this one...  Now we do need to give them credit for this year's schedule.  They should see where they stand after this season.   Please don't take this as a knock on their wrestlers. Cleveland wrestlers are good and they work hard.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
