Sommers Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 this should be fun. Let's see, a screen name that was created last night at 10:52 comes with nothing more than the quote that I brought forward. At least some thoughts to your post and back them up with examples or something to argue your postition. I would. My opinion is not more valid, I am just more willing to argue the point with some history, data, examples etc. to try and make it. Sorry your offended. Make better arguments. Was that my new screen name or was it my third? I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrophyHunter Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 One other thing is that the number of schools in the state that have wrestling programs is growing. For every 50 or so football teams, there is a state champion in DI football. For every 50 teams in DI wrestling there is 1/3 of a state champion. When the split first occurred in 1997, there were only about one hundred or so wrestling teams in the state. Now there are quite a few more. There needs to be two or three classes for state duals. I would love to have something to hang in my gym this year besides district and regions plaques. I think the small schools can be good, but I don't know how good they can be. I know that we could compete with most schools in our area of the state who have less than 1000 students. I think it is easy for a school of our size to maximize the ability of the team, but we don't have the numbers or support to ever compete with bradley, clarksville, or soddy, although in the next few years we will do our best to try. I would hope that we could, in the future, have a chance at a state title against schools more like us. Coach Ridge GHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachGonyeaSHS Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thank you Coach Ridge for speaking up. You guys don't have a weak program by any means. I'd like to add that the Small division schools that win in the clinic bowl for football are probably pretty proud of their state championship trophy and probably don't worry about people saying that it is less of a state championship because they are in a smaller division.
