Well, these are all of the kids who were ranked by Matman as of 12/23 or who placed at the Father Ryan tournament. For what it's worth, here are my finals predictions. These are, of course, depending on seedings.

 

103-McCroskey over Shelton

112-Coleman over Ortiz (could be the best match at the tourney)

119-Cox over Sullivan (if Warfield is still out)

125-James over Ibrahim

130-Boyce over Holliman

135-Lane over Brown (I've never seen Brown)

140-Konz over Proctor

145-Davis over Sanders (another great match)

152-N. Marable over Gessler (N. Marable gets OW)

160-Johnson over Williams

171-Weakley over Simpson

189-M. Marable over Campbell

215-Saint over Henderson

275-Bates over Jones

 

 

For teams I'll go with Soddy in first, followed by CBHS, Franklin, etc.

[wrestlerguy]

I heard Ortiz already beat coleman. Something like 8 - 5.

Kyle James most definetly will get OW.

It will be an awsome tourney.

Best..

 

Incredible research. Maybe you could submit some articles to City Paper and the Tennessean.

 

Thanks for your efforts.

[lovetowrestle]

BOTW,

 

I do agree excellent research, and you should look into sending some information to the Nashville City Paper, or the much hated Tennessean.

[fwc00]

are there any open spots for more teams?

[delaWarr]

BOTW, I join the others in thanking you for the individual info. It is a tremendous resource for helping us fans follow the action.

 

jg etc, Appreciate your team listing.

 

Good to see Cleveland back in the mix.

 

Unless a team slipped past unnoticed during the past couple of years, CBHS may be the first team from Memphis entered in the tournament in almost twenty years. CBHS is also the last team from Memphis to have entered the tournament.

Christian Brothers, coached by Armand Aaron, bested Overton for the championship one year during the mid-eighties. (Did Tom Marable wrestle for Pirani or Aaron or both?) Memphis teams also won one other tournament when Bishop Byrne tied Raleigh-Egypt for the championship one year during the last half of the 1970s.

 

The tournament this year has the makings of one of the tightest races for the championship since (I think) '97 when Bradley pulled off a close win over Mater Dei.

[papbear3]

Tom wrestled for Frank Ferrugia, Armand Aaron was the assistant. Tom graduated in 1982, his brother, Chris, also a 2x state champion, graduated in 1985. I cannot find any information about CBHS participating in this tournament before........was it called something before? Has it always been at Brentwood???
