Yep, that's Wilson Central for you.......the Harvard of Wilson County, stop tooting your sons horn for him and let his actions speak on the mat. Anyone that knows anything about national high school wrestling knows that Nhsca is not what it once was, flo is the place to be now. How many matches did it take for him to get to the finals of the Nhsca tourney 3 or 4 at best? All I am going to say is better hope tj satterfield doesn't go heavyweight next year because he will look like a fish out of water just like he did this year in folk style and free style. Btw what is your hwt clinic going to consist of stalling technique and head throws......

[WrestlingGod]

Wow jealous much? He's a tssaa state medalist (mind you he also majored the state champ two weeks before the state tourney), and a national runner up! I've rolled with the kid and let me tell you, dat kid gooooood, and the coaching quality he's got is second to none, his dad is a beast and Hamm is awesomeee...so his coaches sent his stats and info to the nwca, I think that's called doing their job, if I'm not mistaken aren't coaches required to send such info in?

 

If your argument is only that nhsca is weak he also took second at Brute Nationals this year In Missouri

Grillz... Hey the heavyweight camp will have some very good instruction. I dont understand your reasoning behind blasting the camp?? Myself at Beech and Kramer Mt Juliet are getting together and are opening the camp to any heavyweight FREE of charge. If you are 182 and up feel free to come and join us!!!! I have a small heavyweight that will help you with stalling technique.

WrestlingGod Kramer did not take second at Brute tournament... He took First!!!!

Yep, that's Wilson Central for you.......the Harvard of Wilson County, stop tooting your sons horn for him and let his actions speak on the mat. Anyone that knows anything about national high school wrestling knows that Nhsca is not what it once was, flo is the place to be now. How many matches did it take for him to get to the finals of the Nhsca tourney 3 or 4 at best? All I am going to say is better hope tj satterfield doesn't go heavyweight next year because he will look like a fish out of water just like he did this year in folk style and free style. Btw what is your hwt clinic going to consist of stalling technique and head throws......

 

Not sure if you can read or not but it was for ACADEMICS and posted for my son and a teammate, this honor was not for how they placed at national tournaments. And yes I am proud of my son for Getting good grades as well as having a good year on the mat. Sorry if I offended you to the point that you need to put down kids on a public forum. Not sure if i understand the fish out of water in folkstyle - i thought he had a pretty good year for a freshman. I am not sure what your trying to do by throwing TJ's name in the mix. I think he is a heck of a wrestler. He is a 4 time medalist and a junior, I expect him to beat my son. And i do agree that he looked out of place at freestyle, the State tournament was his first ever freestyle and greco match. ANd lastly shame on Jeff Roberts, Coach Hamm and I For having a free wrestling clinic, what were we thinking??

Yep you are correct that is Wilson Central for you! And we are going to continue to whip every snot nosed whiny babies like you! That is right I called you a BABY! Because that is what you are sounded like, You sound like a little punk kid who is jealous because he did not get to play with the others! I see your kind all the time, in the bleachers at football games, Basketball or wrestling. It is parents like you that high school sports can and need to do without! Grow a pair and act like a man and gives these kids and coaches the respect they deserve!

Congrats to your boy Coach Kramer! Academic excellence is always much more importatnt than athletic. Great Job! That says alot about how he is coached and parented. I have been around you and your boys in TNAAU for a couple years now, and you are a great coach and your children are great wrestlers and very respectful young men. Congratulations you should be proud.

Even though Coach Kramer is from Michigan I believe he is entitled to "toot a horn" or two...just saying.
