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".

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
