Recommended Posts

Goodpasture Christian School will be starting a wrestling program for the 2014/15 season.

We will be in A-AA Region 6 for duals and A-AA Region 3 for individual.

We are currently looking for matches. We prefer tris', quads,and dual tournaments to start

and maybe 2 Invitationals. If you have room in your schedule please contact me at hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com

 

We are looking for away matches at this time.

 

We will be pretty young to start, but we will have a few kids with some experience.

I will be including some JV stuff in our schedule for the least experienced kids.

 

Thanks.

Didn't DCA start a program a whole back? How's that going? I would love to see some smaller private schools start programs as I'm in the hermitage area. I think they would do well. The problem with schools like Goodpasture and DCA is the lack of a middle school team and no youth wrestling in the Metro area. This is why I take my kids out of Davidson Co to wrestle. Simply no where to go. I would love to see it grow!

I am not prepared to go into a great bit of detail yet as we are still working our plan. I will say that we do have plans for Goodpasture that include a middle school program, and there are two youth programs that currently train some future GP kids. Space is the issue. It will get worked out.

We are approaching this program as if it were a marathon and not a sprint.

 

On another note, we are building a schedule. Everyone as already scheduled so we take what we can get, locally. Our schedule will be full regardless. I will also schedule some JV stuff for the less skilled kids.

 

More to come..............

I really look forward to see how this plays out. I think you will have great success there. I am familiar with where you were in the past and have no doubt you can build a program there. I am interested to see where the kids come from though. As you stated above, you have a plan. I look forward to seeing the line up and where they wrestled prior in club etc. I def will be following.

I am going into my 8th season this year as DCA wrestling coach. We do have a small team and it is hard in a small school to get the numbers that you need. I started a middle school program last year and we had 7 students. Your numbers in a small school fluctuate year to year. When you lose a good group of seniors it takes several years to rebuild. I have great support from the school and the administration. We have produced three state medalists in the last seven years. Our goal is to always fill a team and be competitive.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
