How did McCallie do

I never did see anything in the paper about the Walton duals in which McCallie grappled this weekend. How did they do?

Collins Hill wins Walton Duals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After losing four straight duals to McEachern dating back to the 2002 5A State Duals, the Collin Hill Eagles finally bested their rivals to make the 1st place match against Tennessee's McCallie High School at the Walton Duals, however the victory was anything but easy.

Despite losing all but four starters (including 3 state champions) from last year's State 5A Duals and Individuals championship team to graduation, the Indians gave Collins Hill all they could handle. For Collins Hill, Michael Johns scored valuable points at 125 pounds by upending last year's 5A 103 pound state champion Anton Prater 9 - 3. For McEachern, no victory could have been bigger than Jake Jackson's pin of Collins Hill's Philip White at 152 with the Indians down 32-22 and only two matches remaining. The victory allowed the Indians to edge closer 32-28 and set the stage for Will Arnold's 10-0 victory at 160, knotting the final score at 32-32. With the score tied criteria would come into play with Collins Hill getting the edge because of scoring more technical falls. The victory would give Collins Hill the pool championship (3-0) and advance them to the 1st place match against McCallie, winners of the other pool.

Against McCallie, Collins Hill's Eagles traded falls early before receiving two forfeits at 103 and 112 to take a 24-12 lead. The Eagles then went on to win the next 4 matches to take a commanding 38-12 lead. McCallie got a fall from Cody Cleveland and an 11-2 victory from Jusin Blair to cut the lead to 38-22 before Nick Lukacs at 145 clinched an Eagles victory with a pin. Falls from McCallie's Adam Smith and Ryan Scott could only make the final score respectable as the Eagles would emerge victorious 44-34 to lock up first place.

thank you wtkvol

Good Job McCallie!! Its always good to see Tennesee teams going outside of the state and competing and doing well. This will only help you come February and also keeping the state of Tennessee on the wrestling map nationally!

Why did McCallie forfiet at 103 and 112? If they don't forfiet this could be a different match.

[RMC]

One of the McCallie Dads said they didn't have them.

[anais316]

Ha Ha, McCallie forfeit? McCallie will forfeit even if they have the weight or not, McCallie will forfeit if they feel they can't win at that particular weight, I've witnessed this first hand,,,

[claytormat]

it is kind of sad that gordon repeatedly won't give his kids who might not be studs the chance to improve. I might be wrong about this particular example, but i can assure you it has happened many times before.

let em wrestle

[walkenvol]

McCallie has 1 9th grader with a chance to make 103, he is still cutting in that direction. Since he still has not wrestled a varsity match, he decided to compete in the Ooltewah tourney on Friday night in lieu of jumping straight into the level of competition offered at the Walton duals. This seems fairly reasonable to me. McCallie has done this in years past with other 9th graders, nothing new there. McCallie has 2 boys trying to cut to 112. One is currently out with an injury and the other didn't make weight Saturday. He did wrestle one of the matches at 119.

[dblduce]

claytormat, I'm just wondering is this a Baylor/McCallie thing your talking about or is the something McCallie does to anyone or everyone? Let me get this straight you're saying that McCallie will forfeit matches when their wrestler is the lesser wrestler? Why? I think that McCallie forfeited several maches to Ringgold and Soddy Daisy a year or two ago and that seemed to upset alot of people. I'm still not clear why. What purpose is there in forfeiting matches?
