GREENBACK WINS REGION-2 TOURNAMENT

[THEANIMAL]

HOW CAN A SCHOOL OF ONLY 230 STUDENTS COMPETE WITH SCHOOLS THAT ARE AS MUCH AS 10 TIMES LARGER? I DON'T KNOW BUT GREENBACK, A SMALL COUNTRY SCHOOL IN LOUDON COUNTY, BEAT THE OTHER 24 SCHOOLS IN THE REGION-2 WRESTLING TOURNAMENT TODAY. THIS VICTORY WAS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS I HAVE SEEN IN SPORTS.

 

I SALUTE THE GREENBACK NATION,

I didn't get to go to the tournament, but I saw Greenback wrestle a couple of weeks ago. They don't do anything fancy, just the basics and they do them in an outstanding manner. Congratulations Coach Ridge on an outstanding job of coaching and congratulations to your outstanding team.

[GFD756]

yeah coach ridge coming back helped us out alot, some of us might not have even wrestled if he hadn't have come back (myself included). coach gossett has really helped out a bunch too.i just want to say, the nation loves mooney

Congratulations to Greenback!!! This is an example of what hard work and dedication will do for someone.

 

What is the deal with Farragut, Maryville & Bearden? Those schools are large enough and have the financial resources to compete with any team in Tennessee but I never see them doing much of anything. Yes they have a few good individuals but their teams are on the bottom and they don't seem to be getting beter. Are their schools adminstration not supporting them or is it coaching and offseason training that they are lacking?

Thanks for the article, Animal and CONGRATULATIONS to the Nation. ANIMAL you are so big and Greenback is so little I don't think they would allow you in that town , burg, community.

I can answer some of Farraguts. The Admirals have placed as high as 4th in 2003. Over the last 6 yrs Farraguts work out area has been moved 3 X. They went from a garage size work out room to a small class room. They have been through 4 Coaches and only 2 of those were teachers. One left for better pay and the other the school didn't keep.

 

So no the school does not support the program!
