JackieFargo Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thank you for the kind words , BuckLateral . I am one of the "coaching Dads" . I got tricked into wrestling about 7 yrs. ago . My son called me @ work and said coach wants me to wrestle , cause he says I am the right weight . Because of Copperheads he went to state 3 times in High School finishing 4th once. We started back when you went anywhere you could find a tournament . Just like Bearcat & Mr. Cleveland had posted stories about, a few weeks past . My son would wrestle kids in his weight class named J.M. Simpson , Bauki , Konz , and Cash became better after each match . We would face other clubs like Mocsters from Chattanooga . And still faced them all during Middle & High School . I have a 13 & 8 yr. olds wrestling now . And wouldn't give it up for anything ! Now adays if you expect you child or School or team to make any noise , you better start young . I would rather wrestle in a singlet than dribble in my shorts !!!! ps. to 99ginger - great Coaches room @ Dickson tourn. I gained 3# Bruindad2, Are you one of the coaches now? My son Grayson is a 6th grader and I've not had a chance to meet all of you coaches. He's looking forward to this weekend in Clarksville and I'll make it a point to introduce myself. Thanks for what you do, it's really making a difference for Grayson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Skillet Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Is that the same Chuck Bean who ran around with a John Feldhacker? Now there was a pair! Those 2 pretty much dominated the Memphis party circuit in the early 90's. A couple of ladies men who could fight. From what I've heard they are 2 UTC legends.

No, I have not lost my mind. I never said anyone was from Memphis. But I do think that both spent some time in Memphis. In fact, I think one of the 2 guys lived in Memphis for a few years. Oh.. If you look back in the thread you may see a question about Chuck Bean. Thats right, I think he may have had something to do with copperheads wrestling.

He did very well and had two guys pinned only to end up getting caught and losing to them in the 3rd round. He has learned so much and gets better every time he wrestles. Thanks again for all that you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
