FYI

[sly]

In the last 5 years there have only been 4 teams in DI that have finished in the TOP 10 in all five years. I know most of us would guess correctly on three of those four, Bradley, Soddy Daisy and Clarksville, but the fourth team was a bit of a surprise.......not Cleveland, Overton, Brenwood, Franklin but it is EAST RIDGE. East Ridge being the only other team to finish in the TOP 10 the last five years really shouldn't be a surprise though. East Ridge is coached by Coach Brad Jackson and his assistant is Charlie Goss. They always seem to put a very competitive team on the mat year after year. They have had a several State Champions and always seem to be in the running for the Region Championship in the very tough Region 4. Great job Coach Jackson and Coach Goss. What does it look like for the Pioneers this year?

 

Stats from TSSAA:

 

East Ridge finishes in the last 5 state tournaments were 1999-8th; 2000-9th; 2001-6th; 2002-5th; and 2003-8th.

Thanks Sly, Good info. Had I been given a multiple choice question on the fourth team, I very well may have missed it. But that East Ridge is the correct answer is not a big surprise, considering their rich history, their in-the-hunt program year after year, their proven veteran coaches.

 

Congratulations to East Ridge for being among this impressive group.
