There are no guarantees that the state wrestling tournaments will remain in Franklin at the Williamson County Agricultural Expo, but the TSSAA was more than satisfied this year.
“I thought both tournaments were fantastic,” said Mark Reeves, the TSSAA assistant director who oversees wrestling. “Specifically on the dual tournament, I can’t imagine a better venue. Everybody was comfortable and everybody had good sight lines.”
The state association moved out of Clarksville for the state duals and left Chattanooga’s McKenzie Arena, which had hosted the traditional state tournament for 24 consecutive years.
There are kinks to work out with the traditional tournament.
