Like it said in the paper they could not wait for Bray to come back. All the talk was about Bray and nothing said about Heath. You can tell that none of the wrestlers respect Coach <<Ha Ha Heath.

Hard to believe only 1 wrestler entered this tournament at 220, this is the only time I've seen a one man bracket at a regular season high school tournament.

Thank goodness we added that extra upper weight a few years ago!

Not much has changed in Bray's return. Bray nor his wrestlers ever commented or defended Heath. Maybe they see what I know, Heath will never be a good coach. Not one person stuck up for him on here. I rest my case!

Make no mistake, and everyone know it.  Blackman loves Coach John!
