Adrain Norfleet, 3x State Champion from Whites Creek (The best takedown wrestler in Middle TN)

Justin Cash, 2x State Champion from Brentwood Academy

Kyle James, 3x State Champion from Soddy Daisy...Not Middle TN. But, he TF all the way through the State Tournament in 2004.

Charles McTorry- Overton

This is not close: Adrian Norfleet of Whites Creek!! He could takedown the UTC 118 & 126 guys with little effort when he was a 119 senior in high school. Adrian is the best high school kid on his feet ever from Tennessee. Let's all hope that Adrian is doing better, wherever he is!!!!!!!

There are a lot of good names on the lists already mentioned, and not to knock any of them but Adrian Norfleet was the best ever Tennessee wrestler in takedowns and probably one of the top five Tennessee wrestlers ever. I wrestled with him for 4 years and he was incredible. Most of the time you didn't even know he was going to shoot. He was very accurate with his shots and extremely quick.

I agree! Adrian Norfleet was not only best takedown wrestler but most certainly ranks in the Top 5 of the best wrestlers to have ever wrestled in Tennessee.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT ADRIAN IS DOING NOW? I HEAR THAT HE WAS A DANCER FOR M. C. HAMMER AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. IS THAT TRUE?
