I would just like to give a few toasts out to some people
To all the state champions- to the ones that we thought for sure were going to win Kelly Felix, John Michael Simpson, Dan Waddell, Josh Baucke, Will Young, and to the ones that surprised us all- Jeremy Miller, Mike Bell, Dean Pavlou. Not to mention Josh Baucke and Ulric Weinsburg.
To all the guys that had they're hearts broken- Caleb Myers, Jason McCrosky, Courtney Coffee, Zach Goss, McClain Still, Tanner Winthrow. just remember that all of yall are great wrestlers and that it is the process and the amount of work you put in to being a great wrestler is what makes you who you are. not what medal is hung around your neck.
To my all-upset team- Jeremy Miller, David Graham, Danny Pappas, Wylie Davis, Jake Young. each one of you beat the number one seed early on so good job making the tournament interesting.
To my 3-timers- Kelly Felix, Bailey Whitaker, Ben Johnson, Will Young. unbelievable, Bailey good luck going for your 4th next year.
To the senior class- oh man i dont know where to begin because there are so many great ones- Hunter Randolph, Jay Adamson, Demetrious Johnson, Tanner Johnson, Tanner Winthrow, Ulric, McCroskey, Felix, Spain, Toney, Abrigo, Creagan, Wright, Roberson, Hall, Coffee, Lettner, Frankie, Reveiz, Simpson, Johnson, both Youngs, Bell, Goss, Baucke, Doster, Waddell, Batemen, Williams. Those rising seniors have some big holes to fill. Yall have blessed us with wonderful wrestling and wonderful people.
To the Future- with guy like Alex Manley, TJ Duncan, Josh Baucke, Jeremy Miller, Tee Boone, David Graham, Mark Simpson, Jeff Francis, and Justin Cash all havin 3 or 4 more years, I know that Tennessee wrestling is on the rise. not to mention all the other 8th graders this year that will be coming next year ready to wrestle. The Future is bright
it has been a great season. let's give out some toast, and lets eat
