Your screen name Father Ryan Wrestling.....that's some name you've chosen there. It is very disheartening to read such negative remarks about a school in which you obviously have a love for. I have been watching these young men off and on all season. I personally know several. I have never once witnessed a bad attitude. They are hard working, God fearing, wonderful young men. How can you say this? What actions have they shown to you that deems you to say they have a bad attitude? Like the poster before me said; Ryan has such limitations compared to all the other D2 schools. Their weight room is the size of most people's closets, Fr. Ryan's money is very lilmited, they pay for their own warm ups and stuff, I personally think they have great spirit, pride, and attitude. And Coach Schoen (sp?) is a great addition to Ryan wrestling. He is superb in his knowledge and attitude, and you can tell he truly loves those wrestlers. Coach Simp is an icon at FRHS. Please be careful using such harsh accusations in the future. These are all great guys and everyone of them cares about each other and their team and their school. Take care and good luck to all the guys this weekend in Clarksville! Go IRISH!

Matt Morales is undeafeated in Tennessee.

Stovepiper Man, I am not an aggresor. I am a a peaceful guy. I don't like confrontation. I just know Matt and his style......saying you only know the "famous ones" was a TOTAL PUTDOWN" to all the guys that go to practice day in and day out just like Dunning does and sweats the blood and tears. That was MEGA TACKY of you to say. I know wrestling. I have been around it and my family has just as long, if not longer, than our dear friends the Simpsons and Dunnings...........so don't go there dude....it ain't right.

Great for Leen, I would of loved to have seen the Manley match! However, Patrick Simpson recently won the New York state championship, so his upside is looking pretty bright.

Great letter Lee. You have an awesome family.

You're a jerk

Oh okay....well thank goodness you were there to explain to all of us morans. And the Ryan "kid" has a name, he's one of the best "kids" you'll ever meet....Matt Morales.

My family says it was the best $3.00 they have spent in a long time. Kudos to both Coach Simpsons on entertaining alot of great folks on a Friday night in Nash Vegas....I hear "all" the boys gave it their all and a great time was had by all. As Napolean Dynamite would say......."Luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Wish I had been there!

Does anyone have the individual results from the McCallie vs Notre Dame match?

There is no question Whitt Dunning. He "surgically" dissects his opponents like a masterful surgeon. He is ONE of the most talented wrestlers I have ever had the priviledge to watch over many years. This is not to take away from Nick Marable. However, I see it as brute strength vs. a PHD/MD in manhandling. Whitt by far the best wrestler in the state of Tennessee.

I so agree, Cody is a stud and a defending champion, no doubt about it. Morales was not in the B'wood tourney, Clevland did not win the McCallie tourney, Fr.Ryan tourney Morales fought back like heck and came in third. Morales won the CBHS tourney in his weight class this past weekend and he was very sick at the McCallie tourney. (I know this website is brutal...you all will say "I am making excuses for him") Look.....Cody has BEEN the man since he was like six years old it seems, everyone KNOWS he's very, very talented. I didn't bring this up YOU did. I am just saying there is always someone hungrier, thirstier knocking on your door. I think Matt and Cody would be a great match to see and good luck to both of those fine young men.

Don't count your eggs before they're hatched my friend.

Mr. Mayo, First of all...what "predicting" have I done? You have some nerve to talk about saying what one thinks on a public forum. I was taught to respect my elders, so this I will. My response is just like an older brother telling his younger brother to keep his mouth shut "for his own good" and to wait your turn in life for things. Sometimes younger ones need that ya know. For you to get so upset over my comment telling a freshman to cool his jets and not do so much talking, I think is weird. It is condesending of you to think I do not realize that the freshman are a part of the Ryan team. We are both Ryan supporters. I don't think YOU NEED TO CORRECT ME in a public forum. I was not adressing you in the first response to the freshman young man, but you felt compelled to respond to me in a stabbing way anyway. You, my friend, are not the official voice of Ryan wrestling. We obviously both have Irish blood and let's just agree to disagree on some of our thoughts. Of course I wish the Irish well this weekend and if I can make it in town I will buy you a diet coke.

"Let's play nice"? How bout "let's not be cocky"
