FRANKLIN, Tenn. — A separate division for small schools, one similar to that of the A/AA state duals, was among proposals presented Saturday morning at the annual meeting of the Tennessee Wrestling Coaches Association.
“I really don’t think it has much of a chance. The TSSAA addressed that when they established the A/AA duals,” TWCA president Steve Henry said.
There is a possibility because of the enhanced size of the current facility, the Williamson County Agricultural Expo, where 10 mats were used this weekend.
Some of the A/AA coaches see no reason to change.
“I personally wish we (Division I and Division II) were still in one tournament,” Red Bank coach Ben Reichel said. “We’re one state. We should have one state champion (in each weight class). If they want to continue having separate (team) championships, then keep the scores separately.
