Here's how I see it. The loser of MBA/Notre Dame will face CBHS, and the winner of that match will go to the consolation finals. The winner of Father Ryan/Baylor will obviously go to the finals, and the loser should stroll to the consolation finals to meet the winner of the first situation. This sounds strange, but think about it...it would be better for MBA or Notre Dame to lose in the first round. That way, they will face CBHS to get into placement contention. If they win the first round, they will get destroyed by McCallie, and they will switch to the opposite side of the consolation bracket with the loser between Father Ryan and Baylor. That's the only glitch. Otherwise, it looks like a good draw (I doubt it was totally blind). So there you go MBA and Notre Dame. The first round's game plan is to lose. I think McCallie and CBHS got a good draw and MBA and Notre Dame got a bad draw. Some might think that Baylor and Father Ryan should not meet in the first round, but I don't think it really matters. McCallie has already beaten Baylor, so they deserve to get an easy road to the finals. Father Ryan still needs to prove themselves against one of the other two best teams (McCallie and Baylor). I like it. Everyone get ready. It's the moooooost wonderful time of the year. (Is that blasphemy?)

BOTW:

 

I agree with your analysis and you propose an interesting strategy; however, there is one major flaw: head-to-head results during the state duals can be used in the seeding process at the traditional state tournament. Therefore, both MBA and ND (and most other teams) will have to put there full line-up on the mat in order to get the match-ups required to obtain the highest seeding possible for their wrestlers; especially since teams like MBA and ND never wrestle during the regular season.

b.o.t.w., you propose something that guys like you and me would do for what appears to be better placement down the road. but you know the coaches wouldn't do it, so they'll feel they're in a no lose situation; win, you advance; lose, you'll possibly get better placement in the long run. :lol:

OK my people lets make it clear McCallie will dominate duals. The only chance that has a chance is father ryan and baylor. I dont know about father ryan but I know Mccallie will beat baylor with sheer toughness. We have so many guys who are tougher than the likes of Jake Geismar and houston Holt. I cant wait for the Nick Moore Houston Holt matchup again.

Obviously you didn't see Geismer's match with Dunning at McCallie. How can you say that kid isn't tough?

 

Just for clarification, I was never suggesting or proposing that either team intentionally lose the match. I was just making everyone aware of the situation. I would be pitiful to throw a match, just to get the chance for 4th place. Also, if CBHS switched positions with Baylor or Father Ryan, the problem would be solved. Baylor and Ryan would the the semis and the winner of ND and MBA would have CBHS for consolation semis. The loser would have the loser of Ryan and Baylor. Too bad the draw is "blind".

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
