We have been to the finals 19 times before this year. Brentwood Academy beat us in 1988 and CPA beat us in 2014 and we've won the rest. Since 2004 either AHS or the team that beat us has won the championship- not too shabby.
Knoxville YMCA had a wrestling team. Ed started the first high school team. I officiated for Ed in a building across the highway from the present school.
Ric Lowery died in his sleep Saturday night. He was reftn. He was my friend. He said many times that I refereed Abraham Lincolns matches. I will miss his friendship. He was a good man, wrestling will miss him. Clint Abbott
We have been very fortunate to have many great players, only one to play in a Super Bowl is Shannon Mitchell. He also started 4 years for the Georgia Bulldogs at Tight End.
