Trophyhunter, one other thing your RIGHT! With our school size we should be three deep in every Weight Class. But at Farragut if a kid doesn't start they quit. It is something we need to work on but I don't know if we can change it. Also Chad Blakenship is a great Wrestler. He was injured all of last year and had to hve an opperation this Summer. I feel he can be a Medialist. He Gave our 152 State Finalist all he wanted at the Beginning of the Season prior to his injury.

I was on the road coming back from IN when I found out you beat Farragut in the Duals. I was told that your fans were going crazy and your Crowd in the gym made it tuff place to wrestle. I think that was great. It was truly David taking out the locale Big Guy! You have some really good and STRONG kids. Your Defeat of Farragut shows why the Sport is great. The little guy can overcome size with heart. thumb The big reason for the defeat was all our injuries and after that match we new if we good get everyone back by KIL and Region that we would dominate and we were right. With The new realignment I wish Greenback the best and to whip the Blount County Teams. Do you have your Schedule yet? If so please Post! I was told that it's a tuff place to play football at also! Good Luck Nation!

Where are all the Cleveland Folks. i thought they were suppose to have a top team this year?

Ricky, Is a great guy. He was my son's Sunday School Teacher in the Mid 90's and involved with youth wrestling in the Harrison, TN area. thumb

I didn't no your School had a team. Really! Farragut is looking for teams to fill in 2 dates give them a call.

Yeah, Coach and Turner was overrated!

Yes, and Turner Beat BorneMan and then Borneman Pinned Gessler at State. Turner did not lose another match(Except the Final) after he lost to Gessler at Father Ryan. He had only been out for the team for 2 weeks and had not wrestled in over 2 years and his shoulder had a seperation. As you said in your post about Gessler, Turner made the same kind of mistake and got put on his back. All the matches he lost was in his first 2 weeks back in the sport from a back disease the year before. He wanted Gessler in the finals because Ty is a friend of his. Gessler caught Turner at the right time. Turner learned from his mistakes and never was pinned again. Looks like Gessler can't say the same. He lost to Borneman at the begining and the end of the season by Pinns. Gessler has been around the sport for a long time and I know he is good. Just wanted to reply for the crap from the Gessler camp last year at State. Good luck to Gessler.

Last years 152 State Finalist (Chad Turner) from Farragut is the cousin of the Resha's. Small world. He wrestled aggressive.

True, but when that's all you have you use it. I love HS Football and it has been very frustrating to watch the FHS teams over the last 4 years have a ton of talent on the field and not win. I feel it's been the Coaching. I don't have a dog in the fight but when you have played and been around football most of your life, it's sad to see young men you know play their hearts out and not win. And from experiance you know it's got to be the coaching.

Thanks. I could call his parents but it would be awkward!

You first Slim!

Gessler is over rated, Luke Borneman owned him last year. His only hope is if Luke goes to another weight class. Nic Bundy is a class act.

Don't forget Baseball, Wrestling, Track, Cross Country and all the other Sports our kids kick butt in. thumb thumb

We have a few! Scott Dix-140 range Justin Knox-170 range And a second year wrestler who we feel can make an impact this year Nick Reveiz(190 range), son of former UT and Pro kicker Fuad Reveiz. He's strong, quick and very aggressive. He came in second in the Region with only about 3 weeks of wrestling under his belt. It's going to be a fun year.

He needs to ge his head ready for State. We all know he can do even better!

That's a little high. Farragut has some of the best linebackers in the State. thumb I think the Score will be close. Their offense can move the ball but can't punch it in. Since this is their best season in years, I hope the Coach doesn't back off and figure his job is safe now.

It's Coaching! thumb I was at a High School that had only won 1 game in 10 years. Everyone always said our school had great talent but we couldn’t win. They finally fired the head Coach and the new Coach turned everything around with the same kids that had been winless the season before. Everyone had us, as their homecoming game opponent. We won every game that we were scheduled as the homecoming opponent. When Farragut had Carson Newman’s Coach they were one of the top teams in the State. Since he left Farragut went down and Carson Newman has won a few National Championships. Again, it's COACHING.

The football team draws from the same School population and in the past it hasn't been a winner. It's the coaching that helps win Championships. There are other sports at Farragut that win but don’t have as many kids come out. They come out in the large numbers because of Kelly.

I know, I lost my head. But it's like saying Lance Armstrong is good and not knowing the rest of the story.

I've seen on some other threads that Ryan might have lost his Scholarship to UK. Is this true? My son played Middle School ball with Ryan before we moved to Kingsport.

Having large Father Ryan families help! thumb

What happens when kids move in to the School or come out after the start of the season who have not been certified.
