Well actually Jim was taller and he once wrestled 133 as a sophmore and junior in college....just go figure

Interesting. Congrats on the win and the tournament's success.

Thanks alot! Good luck to you guys as well!

White Casey is not a CBHS assistant. Jim, his older brother by 3 years(I think), is their assistant coach. I believe Jim graduated a couple years ago from UTC, where he wrestled.

Hamm i noticed Toler won at 165, is he really weighing that much now, he was only 140 last year. is 165 where he will be finishing the season?

We are awaiting Angelo's return!! What a boost that will be to MTSU & SHS.

I thought this was a joke on the NY State Collegiate Championships thread. Apparently its not but to tell you the truth, its still funny.

We are definitely awaiting the return of Angelo!! We definitely can't wait!

 

Stovepipe, it may be funny at this point and I agree that it is, but we have been trying to get this up and going for years. We figured that we had better just jump in and get it started and maybe in a few years it will take off. Lets just find out how funny this is going to be in a few years, o.k.

 

CBBest, Toler is actually gonna stay at either 157 or 149, but for points sake we felt that Zach Ingle (157) also had a food shot, so Toler decided to bump up for the team, as you see he did pretty well...

 

Take care guys!

Does anyone know why Maryville College did not attend this event?

[Hamm]

Always good to talk to you Coach Lauderdale...

 

Actually all of the Tennessee Schools had committed to the Duals tournament at Marion Military school in Alabama. At the MTSU Open tournament, several Tennessee Schools (Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Temple) stated that they couldn't afford to travel that far. We decided at that point it would be a good date to schedule the first TN State tournament here at MTSU. Maryville being the great team that they are, kept their commitment to the dual tournament at Marion and were unable to attend. They are now discussing a bigger state tournament for next year to be held at Maryville College. We wish them luck and look forward to it!
