just think......if the state tournament was combined like it use to be how tough it would be this year. i can remember back when i was in high school some of the first round matches were two wrestlers capable of being in the state champions. one year in the round of 32 tim voiles vs. james vance. another year round of 32 damon floyd vs. travis adams. i was sitting around and trying to think who would be in the state finals if it were combined.....this is what i come up with.

103-pucket vs. doster

112-manson vs. coleman

119-cordell vs. simpson

125-james vs. hiller

130-cleveland vs. manson

135-leen vs. lane

140-smith vs. baker

145-blair vs. davis

152-marable vs. manley

160-gibson vs. scott

171-blackmon vs. knox

189-marable vs. campbell

215-walsh vs. inman

hwt.-forte vs. schnell

 

i know that maybe 3/4 or 1/2 of these may not have made it if it were one tournament, because when you group a bunch of good wrestlers together, there are always going to be a bunch of upsets, and i know that when it was all one state tournament there were all kinds of upsets in every weight. its always fun to imagine what if.......

Wouldn't we want to consider the CBHS kid @ 215?

hayduk could easily be one of the best 140lbs. and the ND 103 is tough also. there are a bunch of guys that could be named in each weight that could easily be state finalist. these are just my opinion, and im know wrestling genious. im just going from what ive seen and heard this year. some wrestlers are better at the begining of the season than they are at the end. its all about who peaks at the right time, and who can handle the pressure.

i think cleveland or manson could beat west. cleveland is the clear favorite at 130. west and manson would be a good match. as far as soddy beating bradley. it can happen but its not likely. there will have to be a couple upsets along the way. hopefully bradley and soddy will be on opposite sides of the brackets, because they are clearly the best two teams in div. 1.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
