No more Soddy-Daisy or Ooltewah wrestlers but the competition figures to be just as stiff in the Region 2-A/AA tournament Friday and Saturday at Hixson.
With the TSSAA finally agreeing to split the state public school tournament into two divisions, Soddy-Daisy and Ooltewah moved into a Class AAA regional with Cleveland, Walker Valley, Bradley Central, East Hamilton, McMinn County and Rhea County.
It means the rest of the Chattanooga area’s public school teams will battle in the first A/AA state qualifier at Hixson on Friday and Saturday. It’s a field that includes Boyd-Buchanan, Brainerd, Central, Chattanooga Christian, East Ridge, Hixson, Howard, Lookout Valley, Notre Dame, Red Bank, Sale Creek, Signal Mountain and Tyner.
“What you have is six or seven of the top A/AA teams in the state in our region,” Red Bank coach Shane Turner said.
