Details are being worked out. We will post the info on our Tennessee AAU Web Site ( http://aau.tnmat.net ); on www.tennwrestling.com, and on coacht.com. We will also print up some flyers to hand out at the Tennessee AAU and Tennessee USA events. This event is a good thing. The time has come to work together to improve our sport in Tennessee.

Working together to improve our sport is, of course a good idea. However, it is not as if we are trying to push a dying whale back into the water. Our State has produced more DI quality wrestlers in the past 4-5 years than ever before. Our numbers of Highschool All-Americans has been impressive and we're clearly making a name for ourselves as a wrestling state. Once considered a bit of a joke on the national scene, Tennessee has gained much respect. While banding together for the good of the sport is a positive move, let's not forget that while our product can always use some tweeking, it's far from broken. (but I certainly agree that we can and should aspire to reach the next level. Just want to give credit to those who came before...)

Centrally located for convenience of all (Clarksville is excited and would like to host as does Cookville.) Guess they're drawing straws, don't know...Lauderdale is working on those details. Idea is to put as many kids on the same mats on the same day as we can. Hopefully we will have 4 mats (2/folk 2/free) and with the use of staggered starting weights, rotate between both the styles and brackets alternately. UNIQUE Logo is in the works; we would like this to become an annual event. Participation will not be limited to Tennessee; this will be an open tournament. Maybe someone from PA would like to go home as "the STUD".

    • 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.
