Bobby Bates Wrestling Classic

Starts tomorrow Dec. 16 and goes into Saturday Dec. 17. At the new Convocation Center on the campus of CVC (aka UVA at Wise).

Going to be some good wrestling. 16 man brackets. I believe all are full but 3 weight classes.

Teams that I know are coming:
Central
Union
Lebanon
Castlewood
Grundy
Va. High
John Battle
Floyd County
Abington
Glenvar
Rual Retreat
Chilhowie
Graham
Daniel Boone

That's 14 of the teams that I know of off the top of my head.
If anyone has the other teams please share.

Come on out and watch!

how is Union doing on the mat? I havent heard but I sure am curious. I have heard that Central is burning it up which is what was expected.

I have only seen union at the scrimmage we had at Central. Reggie and Zack are there two best wrestlers. I do know they went to DB last weekend. Haven't heard how they did.

As far as Central we went to Daniel Boone to a Duals match. 8 Teams 2 pools. Central went 4-1, lost to Abington 42-39 in finals. We had a couple of kids out taking SAT. So some kids had to wrestle up a weight class.

Reggie Hamilton is a hellluva wrestler for Union. He is built like a wrestler, and competes all across the country.

Does anyone in this tournament have anything for Grundy?

Saturday would be the better day anyway. Around 10 saturday let me check and i'll post it later. All of the final match will be that evening/afternoon. Location is at the New Convocation Center at the College across from the football field.

Some good wrestling went on last night. Everything starts this at 1030a with consolation matches. The finals start at 530p. If you all don't have nothing to do today come on out watch some wrestling. 5 dollars for early session or finals only or 8 dollars for all day.

Did not get to stop by how did it shake out?

182 Third place was Derek Yates Rural Retreat over Blake Still Central 5-3 in overtime. It was not a 7-2 dec.

I'm not a wrestling fan and have minimal knowledge of the sport but, I would pay money to watch Collins and McCowan wrestle again. As I said, my knowledge of the sport is not great so somebody help me out; was the kid from Grundy not out of bounds when he escaped (1 point) that eventually led to the extra periods?

Yeah he was out of bounds But that all comes down to who is reffing. Collins has a great attitude about it saying he shouldn't have let it come down to that. It's like leaving a fight in the hands of the judges.

132 Justin Street, Grundy T-Fall Dale Conner, Floyd, 22-7

I'm pretty sure Connor was a single a state champ last year.


Biggin the Hamilton kid is a good wrestler But i was more impressed with Zach rogich. He won his weight class

2 to 2 at end of regualtion. RR took Central down striaght to his back now it is 4 to 2, was allowed to work for fall, got 3 near fall, so that is 7-2, at least that is what the bout sheet says.

I stand corrected RR kid got 2 escapes and Central kid got a take down in regulation. I went and looked at my pics and it was 2-2 in ot.
'

Like I said the bout sheet says 7-2, in the 1st period no points, 2nd period RR took down and got an escape RR-1 Central 0, Central took him down Central 2 RR 1, RR gets an escape RR 2 Central 2, third period Central takes down and no one scores so 2-2 at end of regulation. If it was 3-3 then it would be 8-3 with takedown near fall. Your kid wrestled a good match and got caught with a takedown to his back, he fought off his back and gave RR a decision instead of a pin which meant RR got no points for the decision, they would have recieved 2 points for the fall.

220 Eric McDaniel, Floyd Fall Anthony Brewster, Virginia High, 2:30


Anybody happen to see how Mcdaniel kid got put in the losers bracket he was a state champ at 189 last yr? Wondering if the kid from grundy beat him to.

It's hard to move up 2 weight classes. Plus he's putt on 25 pounds and it wasn't muscle.

He lost to McCowan Grundy, 8-3 in the semi finals.
