I heard good things about a kid from McMinn. Just wondering if he is as good as they think he is?

I watch a lot of guys wrestle and not win even 50% of their matches. They wrestle because it is fun and challenging. I saw a Jason Hoffert not win but a few matches but he beat a state qualifer just by blind luck. He was on top of the world.Ask him I bet he will remember it just like the ladies will their wrestling experience years from now.

Cumberland College has a ladies team and a girl from cookville went there a few years ago. Wrestling against the men make them better wrestlers. It a good thing to have ladies on the mat.It push a guy that just going therough the act of be a wrestler to get better. I have seen a young man push himself to win and it helped the rest of the the season. I cheer for the girl every time I saw them on the mat because of the thinking on this page.

I had 3 kids wrestle and had little problems with cauliflower ear.Get a good head gear and wear it in practice too and the foam taped to them is good we have done that too. A ugly ear is nothing to be proud of. I see guys from years ago that did not take care of it and they wish they had. Tape it down with cotton balls helps some but they must be drained. Try to always be the one on top. Go get them guys.

What do you think about Todd Humbert? He was good but was he feared ? Matt Keller and the guy that wrestled 189 from bradley.Not sure of the weight class but he was good. Matt was so smooth. He kept it simple but so good.

McMinn has a good fan base we even have more fans than the home teams most of the times the years that we followed the teams. This goes for boys and girls. If the band and cheerleaders would show up at the games it would draw more to the games.

Knoxville has several facilities thank can hold the state games. We have played at watts road, north shore, cellular fields, and one off middlebrook pike. You are always WELCOME to play in Athens. The high school and TWC fields plus the regional park. Memphis is just way to far for the team in the north east to come. Nashville area would be better if not Chattanooga.

Curtis has this girls focused on the Win now at the end of the season. That is when he does some of his best coaching. I never thought he would win against McMinn but he had a plan and it worked. Go McMinn and good luck Curtis

I thought McMinn would win this game . What happened for it to be such a one sided game?

In 1994 I was coaching Todd and Kellie teams and picking up stone out at the regional park so we could have fields to play on and had about 1500 soccers ball to blow up to hand out to the tri-county area. James Hoffert and I was lining off fields at city park school and athens jr. high. I built goals at work so kids would have them and I bought the materials.I refereed games. Called the high school and main office ,made contacts like Bill whom might help get us a high school team. Just so you will know.

Is the SIS schedule right on Columbia Central? It must not have all the games because I went to look and was not impressed but list the teams Columbia has played and who they will play. That might impress more people. 123 does not say anything without a team to put it with.

you are welcome

when you have the players he has had that is to be expected.Iwould like to see him coach cumberland county and see how he does.

Sammy Defriese he use to coach the Midde Valley Magic. Now he is a coach of a team out of middle Tennessee. I like what he did with the girls when he was in Chattanooga. Sorry I can not remember the team's name.

Have any scores form the tournament? How do the teams look?
