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????

bump Can someone help me out with a place to wrestle around CN. I am desperate to stay competitive in wrestling. Please throw out some ideas. You can contact me at: Richard- (615)243-6014 or E-Mail- dribbs1991@yahoo.com Thanks Again

That is really sad, because I am attending CN this year and really wanted to stay competitive in wrestling because as my name states "Its In My Blood". Does anyone have any ideas as of where I wuld be able to wrestle near CN: NCAA, club team, freestyle/greco, or even just a camp, anything to keep me active in this wonderful sport. Any Info, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. You can cantact me at my E-mail- dribbs1991@yahoo.com

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 ?

Josue Brown is my best bet. He shows out at the right time especially at region where he redeemed himself of his two losses from both Greer and Tsegaye. 103 Orion Vankham 112 Chris Soboun 119 Richard Williams 125 Ace Tsegaye 130 Josue Brown 135 Antonio Lillard 140 145 Cameron Edafe 152 Mitchell Clemons 160 Everett Colbert 171 Garcia 189 Chris Fergueson 215 HWT Just my predictions what do you think nununu, Beastin, and pin

Yes the two wrestled and Johnson dec Tsegaye 6-5. Why did Johnson not make '25 at duals as he still would've been permitted to wrestled up to '30. That just makes 130 even more exciting. Anyone have any opinions on the 130 weight class ???

Caldwell has improved leaps and bounds from last year as he seems to have picked up some technique. What weight is the older Garcia brother going again was it '71 I really enjoy watching him wrestling. Did not comprehend the comments about Johnson will he be at either 25 or 30 ?

A ton has happened since I've been gone. Why is Johnson not remaning at 130 ??? Who is the expected number one seed at '30? Who will be at 160 other than Ebi, Colbert, and is Denzell going to be at that weight

Would be fun to see Jake Young have a good run for his money

Thanks for the rankings cant wait tell the one's after state duals. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication that is put toward these rankings. Was afraid it was the end of them for a sec

Do you have any indiv predictions by the way wingit ??? who are your top three

3rd placers 103 Aguilar 112 Mahmut 119 Ramirez 125 Ridley 130 Aguilar 135 Schonfiled

Some finals predctions to spice things up here 103 Vankham over Greer 9-3 Intresting match-up 112 Soboun over Lowe expect a major here 119 Williams pin over Ashmun 125 Johnson over Tsegaye 6-5 Intresting match-up 130 Greer over Brown 8-7 Intersting matchup here 135 Lillard over Jones going out with a fight 11-9 140 Edafe over Chandler in a nail bitter 145 Jones over Burnley 13-4 152 Clemons over Hinkle 8-4 160 Skipi over Colbert 9-3 Intersting matchup 171 Garcia over Caldwell 9-7 189 Ferg over Caldwell 9-8 215 Garrett over Clemons 4-1 HWT Robinson pin Moore Just some predictions anyone see it any different

Johnson has already wrestled at 125 a recent dual. The weight drop looks to have taken from him but he should be able to a adjust by region.
