Brentwoodhomepage.com has put together an article with some images, covering the 2010 GP West Invitational. Find it here

Brentwood’s State runner-up Blake Thomas and Soddy’s sophomore State Champion Campbell Lewis won their first titles by pinning their way through the tournament.

Junior Caleb Erwin from Union County, last years champ at 130 and currently ranked 19th in the country at 135 by Intermat, beat 2x state champion Michael Hooker of McCallie. Erwin was voted Best Wrestler of the tournament.

The Tennessean has a full article on the GP West Invitational wrestling tournament, and below are the finals scores and match results.

The Father Ryan tournament has been postponed until Saturday, January 9th, 2010, due to snow and ice in the middle Tennessee area. Weigh-ins will begin at 7:00am and wrestling is scheduled to start as close to 8:00am as possible. The first two rounds will be single eliminations, with double-elimination to start in the quarters.

Some teams have had to drop out, but it sounds like a couple have also joined. Independence was supposed to go to the Soddy Daisy tournament, but are now scheduled to wrestle at the FHRS Invitational. Follow the action at FRHS’s website:

Father Ryan Invitational Wrestling Tournament

The 47th Midlands Championships will start today at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. If you have never been to a Midlands, you should plan on making the tournament next year. It is an incredible show with a ton of great competition.

The Midlands is “Where the Elite Meet to Compete.” There have been a ton of Olympic team members and champions wrestle in this tournament, including Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, Cary Kolat (who competed while in high school), the Brands. This year, it is rumored that Jake Deitchler will make his first appearance of the season (he has been out with an injury).

Tennessee will be represented by the entire UTC team, and also Nick Marable from University of Missouri. Marable has been on a tear this season and is seeded 4th in the tournament at 165. Jake Young, from UTC, is seeded 9th at 174. He has been having a great season so far, with only 2 losses. One of those was apparently a 2-point loss to last years NCAA runner up Mike Miller of Central Michigan.

I am heading up there tomorrow to catch the semifinals and the finals. Here is the official Midlands Championship site, which includes schedule, seeding, and results.

Pope High School, located in Marietta, Georgia, locked up the 2009 McCallie Invitational title with a total of 285 points, more than 85 points more than the second place team, Father Ryan, who finished a strong tournament with 197 points.

Some other teams, along with Pope, brought in some out of state talent. At 140, Ryan Maus from Kennesaw High School first majored 2x State Champion Stuart Doster of Baylor in the semis, then went on to beat State Champion Michael Hooker from McCallie 6-1 in the finals. 3x Champ TJ Duncan from McCallie fought off numerous takedown attempts by Kennesaw’s other finalist Johnathan Rivera to pull off a 3-2 win at 152.
