Weekend Parlays

Posted by Jimmy The Greek on 2/15/2024, 7:35 pm

Hey folks ole Jimmy here to invite you all personally over to the Emerald Queen for some screaming hot parlay specials. I talked to some of them big movers and shakers and got the go ahead to make rich men out of some of ya with the cajones to make a little wager. Brent told me that some of you were probably coming over to the premesis to get your fill of bootleg shirts. No judgement here sir.Ol’ Jimmy was about as unsavory as the next guy until a beautiful woman made an honest man out of him. So with that said get on down to the Emerald Queen for some parlay action.

Current bets :the smart money been talking about already before the first whistle.

Over/under on double stall calls first round of 3A. The current line is 3.5. Jimmy says take the over. You know some ref with his eyes set on going to the big show wants to make a name for himself early and often is not going to wait until Day 2 to be a superstar. Once a couple of his wristbanded bretheren see him from the front row seat in the ref on deck chairs, at least a few will want to jump in on the fun.

Coach Feist attire. Right now you can put down $10 to win $100 that he shows up in shorts and flip flops. Personally jimmy thinks that is more his modus operandus in freestyle season. Stay away from this trap. Feist likely shown up in a sweater and bow tie. Which by the way? That bet is available with the over on double stall calls, and finished out by an excellent wager that it will take at least 30 minutes to get the competitors/coaches in the dome for weigh ins.

In terms of Coach Feist- The risk is that someone gets to him before tomorrow AM and gets him in on the action, maybe gets Chris’ ear and suggests he dress a certain way.. kinda sorta to make sure some winning tickets come in, if you know what ole Jimmy means.

Jimmy is always looking to make a buck too. Grandkids and flight to Mykonos and the motherland aren’t cheap these days. Inflation impacts all of us! Now one thing Jimmy knows and is grateful for is Uncle Joe doing is outlawing those hidden fees on airlines. Like charging me an extra $20 or $30to sit next to my wife and mistress. So thank you Joe. Now if we can get this inflation under control and help more folks have money for vices like gambling and booze, you got my vote for a second term..

Good luck gents. Just remember to gamble responsibly and don’t rely on the ponies or craps tables for personal investment purposes.

And good luck to all the wrestlers and coaches!

What’s the over under on Feist wrestling with kids on his team that don’t live in the district

100%. Know he has at least one freshman on the team that lives in federal way

Sounds like some someone is a sore loser and frustrated his can’t win. Spending his time trying to pick apart other teams and people to make himself feel better.

No not really just stating the fact that there is someone wrestling on the team that is out of district. The question was asked and yes it is true

these coaches will never admit or be held accountable and will smile in your face and preach hard work.
They are telling you who they are and what they are about believe them my friend.
Actions speak louder than words, anything for a win.
TAHOMA, lake S, top hi, Sunnyside, ect...
Integrity is not a priority, trust what you see.

Naw. Sounds like your someone who got beat by Bryce or your son got beat by him. So, you spend your days trolling on here instead. That’s typically how the psychology of it plays out. Instead of being a hater, go back to the practice room and drill, watch film and get better. Trolling online doesn’t make your kid better.

I think you mean cherry pick son, that what this is.
It's hard to sit there and watch teams and coaches load up kids from out of district and say they "build" programs and pat themselves on their backs when it's cherry picking lol.
In the end parents have say where their kid ends up.
In the culture of win at all cost it's the best politician not best coaching.
History doesn't lie, facts are facts.

Pretty sure they have been in the top 10 for almost the past 30 years and send a number of their top kids off to wrestle in college. Maybe that is why people move there? Or maybe you're right, there is no coaching at all, they just take naps while everyone out works them growing cherries.

Hell if I could swing it I'd transfer my multi time state placer to Tahoma or Orting in a heartbeat. Jealous crybabies just keep crying. I've watched Tahoma's program very closely for the past 10 years and that staff sets the standard the rest of WA wrestling should try to emulate.

Re: Weekend Parlays

Posted by Allowed on 12/8/2024, 11:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

We have a school in our district with at least four kids wrestling out of districts they were allowed as freshmen. The rules are loosey goosey if you know the right people I guess.

Re: Weekend Parlays

Schools are allowed to variance if they choose to. I'm not sure what rules you are referencing. If someone applies to get varianced in, some schools allow it and some do not. It is completely within the rules if Tahoma allows variances. And if I lived in Federal Way I would not send my kid to Todd Beamer or any other school there if wrestling was important to me.

Why would it matter? If a child is already that good, its a club thing at that point not the HS coach for 3 months a year. The athlete would do well at any school. But if a parent wants to drive 30 minutes a day, act fancy, put his kid in wiaa cross hairs then so be it.

Sorry but there are good high school coaches. Plenty of kids transferred to Lake Stevens and Brent Barnes turned them from really good to great. Not just coaching, but the schedule is better. If your kid was good, wouldn't you want him to go to Tri State, the Clash, Reno TOC, and whatever else they are gonna do? Way better than local tournaments that weak schools go to.

Agreed lake Stevens has a great staff. The other team that comes to mind as of recent is Skyview out of SW Washington. Big time coaching staff. I’m not sure how many ex college wrestlers are on their staff who can still get on the mat, but it’s a lot and look at what they’re cranking out right now. The insinuation of these top schools as cheaters is wrong. Not all high school coaching is bad, quit living in the weeds

Re: Weekend Parlays

Posted by Correct on 12/9/2024, 12:11 pm, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

The athletic directors and the districts are the ones who allow it. The only time it is "cheating" is if a kid is allowed to transfer in without actually moving and then is made eligible right away. Unless they transfer within district(which is allowed) they have to sit out a year. But if school districts let freshmen variance in, it's their prerogative.

Collecting talent isn’t the same as growing talent. Those kids are club kids that were good when they arrived.

What cross hairs. At most schools kids can choose there hs 8th grade year heading into freshman year. What’s the issue 😂. Parents working within the rules? Kids wanting good wrestling partners? Also there are programs where the hs coaches are better than the club coaches and go close to year around as open gyms.

Posted by Answer for Club Dad on 12/9/2024, 2:00 pm, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

To the dad saying, "It’s really all about club," you’re missing the bigger picture. Living in the club bubble means you don’t fully understand what happens outside of it. If a kid wants to wrestle at the next level, there’s so much more involved than just club practices. College Coaches aren't reaching out to the club coach very often unless you are national name. They are talking to the high school coach to find out what kind of teammate this kid is... what are their grades like... how crazy are their parents?

Grades, mental preparation, and technique development, these things often don’t get addressed at the club level the way they do in a good high school program with a solid coaching staff. When kids spend four months in a high school wrestling room, surrounded by the right environment, they make huge strides.

Look at programs sending kids to wrestle in college. Some of their athletes didn’t even start wrestling until high school. Your little club titles? They don’t mean as much as you think they do. High school coaches, especially those who are also teachers, understand the bigger picture. It’s about developing the whole athlete.

You're definitely not incorrect in your observations.

Things I've learned:

There are inroads made to just a couple of colleges by the more well known wrestling programs in the State. Menlo College, North Idaho and a few others come up far too often for how good some of these top end kids are. This is a result of bad grades and/or a lack of connections between local coaches and larger college programs.

Some have bucked the trend and found their way to highly academic Div 3 programs, like University of Chicago. Others who are studying engineering are at University of California Humboldt.

It's great to see these great wrestlers getting opportunities and getting amazing academic opportunities.

I talked to the wiaa eligibility director last week about this. Wiaa allows a kid to transfer between 8th and 9th no matter what school or district. She used an example of a kid driving 45 mins each way to a school. Prior to conversation, I personally thought this was only a private school exception. However, She said districts can make their own rules that trump wiaa based on a number of reasons such as schools in a district are already overcrowded.

This is exactly the case. Kids can go anywhere they want as long as they start in the 9th grade. Even though individual districts can have more strict rules, I don't know of any district in the state that does because it is a huge disadvantage if they did. In the end, nobody should fault anyone for choosing the best situation for themselves and their families. If you want to keep and attract the best kids, just do better. If I lived in Federal Way, I would absolutely go to Tahoma.

Re: Weekend Parlays

Posted by Some do, some don't allow it on 12/10/2024, 11:37 am, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

I can tell you that some districts do not allow variances. Lake Stevens does not because of overcrowding. They are strict on it. I know Snohomish allows it. Feist is an assistant principal at Tahoma, and you would think since it's one of the biggest schools in the state, they would not take a variance. But wrestling is king there. So it sounds like they take variances and if it's 9th grade, they don't have to sit out.

That's strange to me that a VP in a huge school is allowed to coach. It doesn't happen in any of the 3a/4a schools in our area.

Re: Weekend Parlays

Posted by Exception on 12/10/2024, 12:09 pm, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

I think most districts don't allow it, but there have been a few exceptions. The old Peninsula coach was either a Principal or Vice.

Re: Weekend Parlays

Posted by Wow on 12/10/2024, 12:18 pm, in reply to "Re: Weekend Parlays"

Yah, just imagine having a coach who has a degree in education, a master's degree in education/administration coaching kid's wrestling?

The real question is, how can we find more people like Feist for every school district. I'm surprised more kids are not flocking to Tahoma for the program.

Every interaction I have had with him has been excellent. My kids are excellent wrestlers in the State and have had dozens of interactions with the coaches and kids on the team going back 6 years. He has never mentioned a word about attending Tahoma to either kids, and both would improve his team.

They are top notch. Toughest thing I can see for the wrestling team are the kids who move in a bump other kids who are "more local" from starting spots.
