Soddy didn't just not attend tournament they canceled one they were hosting at the last minute.  Lots of teams left scrambling to get matches.  

Coaches work hard to put together the right schedule for the kids and to have our pulled out from under them at the last minute is dirty.  

Did every parent and person on the team get sick?  They only needed a few to roll out mats, work the gate and concessions.  

Do you see how silly my statement above sounds? If you want to talk crap about a program you can always find a reason.  I don't believe a word of what I wrote above,  it's to prove a point to kuchestyle2992 above.  

Teams show up with jv, partial varsity line ups all the time.  Teams fft all the time.  Kuchestyle is either young, ignorant or looking for selective outrage.

To clear the air, Soddy didn’t cancel their tournament on Jan 4 due to illness or any team backing out of coming. Soddy canceled because Ulric’s brother had just passed away and the funeral was the SAME THE DAY. Coach wanted to keep the event. Coach wanted former coaches to step up and help host and coach the team. It’s was a team decision to cancel the event to allow Ulric to grieve the loss of his brother. The Soddy team didn’t wrestle elsewhere, the Soddy wrestlers showed up to the Celebration of Life and whole heartedly supported their Coach!

Yes actually, pretty much the entire team was sick(even JV guys) which is why 2 went to McCallie to wrestle and even Luke and Davis weren’t feeling all that well that weekend (Pigeon Forge duals) of course that wasn’t the weekend the SD tourney was cancelled (Jan 4th) and that was a host of other issues due to fact a bunch of teams cancelled from coming hence the reason it was cancelled and not a tourney with like 3 teams. Might want to talk to the teams that pulled out from it on why they pulled out and so why it had to be cancelled. Now I’m not taking the hard stance like kuchstyle did and being mad about Alcoa not bringing but 10 kids, I guess it’s good to get some Jv guys some varsity mat time even if it’s short as sooner or later you might have to depend on those kids. I’m just looking forward to seeing who all makes the state tourney from the different regions!

He wanted former coaches to step in and help host and coach their kids. It was a team decision to allow the coach to grieve his brother's passing and not worry about the team. The team showed up for their Coach in the time of need and all attended the Celebration of Life to support their Coach. That means more than anything in the world.

Yes, I totally forgot Stefan’s funeral being that same day, I had already heard of some teams having to pull out from the tourney and it’s not usually a big tournament to begin with. Very good reason for a tourney to be cancelled for sure, been a tough year for Ulric and very happy to hopefully see him and his boys bring home another state title!
