1) Leavy Davis did not participate. He was injured at the Best of the West and will not risk his football scholarship to wrestle again. The coaches voted him regional "Wrestler of the Year" for the regular season, though.

 

2) Nick Brugal is a different story. He does not have medical clearance to wrestle, pending an ultrasound on his spleen due to a case of mono. This was not revealed, though, until after the semis on Saturday. He forfeited the finals to Trundel. What happens now is anyone's guess.

Man, that is a shame about Davis. He was a joy to watch wrestle. Where is he going to play football? What is the nature of him injury?

 

Brugal will be an interesting case. If he didn't have clearance to wrestle, do his matches count? How about the guys he beat in regions? Do only three go to state, or how do you determine the fourth? Or does he go if he gets clearance? Strange.

Davis was wrestling Fairview 189 at Bolton when his knee popped. He could barely stand, but continued to wrestle and gain an escape before he physically couldn't go on. I believe it wasn't as severe as an ACL tear but maybe a bruise. He was literally carried off the mat.

Davis - His injury seems to be a mild MCL tear. He will play football for one of the Mississippi junior colleges, then hopes to transfer to Mississippi State.

 

Brugal - He had a doctor's note stating non-contagious status, much like the required note for skin lesions. That's all that was required for participation, so he won't forfeit any matches. I think the decision not to wrestle the finals was between him and his coaches. If he doesn't get the ultrasound before Wednesday, they (the coaches) probably won't allow him to wrestle at the state tournament.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
