Does anyone have anything to say about it. anyone want to guess what wrestlers are going to chatt

 

 

 

Hello there. I have just moved back to the area after serving in the Army etc. for the past few years. I graduated from EHS in 1994 (wrestled 152). I will be at the tournament this weekend covering the action for Double Play Sports Weekly / WCYP Radio (if anyone is interested you can check it out at www.sportsedit.com under Righter or wrong. To be honest, I'm just getting back into the swing of things as far as this area's grapplers are concerned. I believe the Cyclones have a good chance to get 6 or 7 into the state tournament. I'm amazed at Region 1's strength these days, particularly the heavy weight division. If I'm not mistaken there are 3 heavy weights ranked in the state's top 6. Amazing. Should be a great tournament. Last time I was around here for wrestling Dave Hollowell was coaching in Greeneville and Bill Brimer was in Bristol. Also, they took the top 4 to state (it's my understanding now that they only take the top 3). By the way, a big congrats to Greeneville and Science Hill for their strong showing in the state dual meet. Also would like to take the time to mention the late John Klock (former wrestling coach at EHS, I'm sure many of you know him). He passed away last month with Lou Gehrig's disease. He is and always will be missed in Elizabethton and around the wrestling community. Good luck to everyone this weekend. Please respond with any predicitions, comments, or reflections.

God Bless

Cyclone152, did you also go to Greeneville for a year?

 

 

 

I did. In fact, my older brother wrestled for Coach Hollowell his freshman year. Speaking on behalf of my entire family, we have tremendous respect and admiration for Coach Hollowell. I was very pleased to catch up with him Saturday. A great man of God.

- On the dark side (or should I say, Green side) - I always felt like there was green slime oozing out of the Greeneville gym. I must have been jinxed because I never beat a Greeneville wrestler!)

    • The Sheriff has agreed to provide help.  Waiting on Mr Basketball…… @Sackmaster50 and @AlphaNiner are in the cupboard. 
    • Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.
    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
