OK, we’ve poked enough fun at Williamson County’s Agricultural Expo.

Well, maybe.

Lumps in a couple of mats, caused by the surface upon which they lay, resembled a divot-filled golf course just played by area high school wrestling coaches Jim Higgins, Ben Smith, Jake Yost, Alan Morris and their army of assistants.

OK, enough of that.

The Ag Expo, and, yes, we’ll still call it the Cow Palace, is in many ways the ideal option for the Tennessee state wrestling tournaments. The list of logistical problems gets smaller every year, the arena floor is big enough to accommodate at least 12 mats, and once they go entirely to trackwrestling.com for match results and team scores, it could be so fan-friendly.
