WrestlingsInMyBlood

The Champion He was a man of flesh and blood. He wasn't made of rock. Angel, devil, child, - man of ordinary stock. but somehow he was different - true athletes always are- For as he cursed, sweated, and bled, he took pride in the scar. They told him to win like a man, no matter what the cost; So many times he ventured forth; so many times he lost. And when they turned around and said, "It's OK son, you tried," He clenched his headgear in his fist, and like a man he cried. But from his tears came anger; then, when it ceased to spin, He rose again, determined that next time he would win. His trembling body strengthened; his heart soared in sky. His darkened soul stood flaming; there was fire in his eye. He worked and worked relentlessly; he struggled and he strained. His conscience whipped him mercilessly for every ounce he gained. He ran on legs like pistons; his muscled arms grew sore; He'd tell himself, "I have to" then ask himself, "What for?" And then, at last, the reckoning: the final hour was here, His stomach tightened dangerously, his muscles tensed with fear. Weak-kneed, he shook the challenger's hand- and then, as one possessed, His instincts gave him power, and his body did the rest. It suddenly was ended. His body seemed to scatter. A crowd was cheering somewhere, but to him it did not matter. One thought was gleaming in his brain, a thought that made him smile. He's given it all he had, and that's what made it all worthwhile He stood and faced his teammates, with pride instead of shame. He knew not that he'd won or lost, but that he'd played the game. And some call him THE WRESTLER, and some call him A MAN, But he called himself a WINNER... and the ref held up his hand.

Does anyone know of any open tournaments in and or around Tennessee?

what weights are all of those guys?? Colbert i would agree with yes at 160, or maybe even 71 who knows, still early, but if you tell me what weight those other guys are i could maybe help you out and tell you what they are up against with the rest of the region These are just educated guesses but im saying Mintlow and Colbert-160 Clemmons-171 Brown-135 or 140 Remeriz-125 and Clemmons-HWT. . . O and i forgot about Vankam from Glencliff around 112 but dnt think he can hang with Thomas

Hey where are the old region7 boys. . Dosha Mintlow, Mitchell & micheal clemmons, Josue Brown, Colbert, Jacob Remeriz. . these are all decent wrestlers that could fairly well win region at least in the upper div. cause the lower ones are stacked. . Wat do u think??

What age group is the clinic for, are all experience levels welcome? And also what type of technique will the clinic be focusing on? Thanks A Lot

I just graduated from High School, and I am attending Carson Newman, and as you may know they have cut the program. I am desperste to stay connected with the sport of wrestling. So I was wondering who I should get in contact with for a reffing opprotunity, or if anyone could explain the procedure of becoming a ref? You can contact me at my E-mail dribbs1991@yahoo.com Thanks for help Richard

Does anyone kno who Baylors starting lneup will be in this tourny? Also how well do you think theyll match up against the other schools that will be attending as well?

Lets talk regoin 6 for a min longer. This will be a very tough region this coming year. I agree that Indepence and Brentwood will be the powerhouses. But how well do u think Antioch Overton and East Lit will stack up. And you can never leave Ravenwood Franklin and Glencliff cause they have been known to pull some pretty big upsets. Sooo wat do think????

Has anyone found out about the Carson Newman wrestling program. I know that it probally hasn't been reinstated but are they going to have a club team or a team of any sort. Thanks, any info will be greatly appreciated

I was wonderin if any1 knew anything about if Carson Newman has decided to start a club team or if they have droped it all together. Any info on the carson newman matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wonderfully run tournament. Intrested in results as well

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the practices at independence high. Since their spring break is at a different time than some other counties then the times may change? Any info on location, time and price would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

Why are there only three seeds for 112 and 125 ? Don tell me theres only three wrestlers. So are both the Ridley brothers out for the season I know the 112 was gone but I thought the 125 was stickin the year out ?
