Pennsylvania Coach looking at High schools in Tri Cities area

[Clovis37]

Coach: I think I know of an open position.  Please contact me at: lew4you@aol.com.

 

[REVDL]

Well it looks like a lot of the high school coaches have already reached out to you, but I'll add my name to the list.

 

I am Donnie Shipley head coach at Elizabethton High School and T.A. Dugger Jr. High programs. We are a growing program that needs more coaches with strong wrestling resumes. I am a local guy born and raised with  over 25 years of wrestling experience as a wrestler, assistant coach, and head coach. I currently have 2 assistant coaches:

Logan Baker 2x state qualifier for Happy Valley High School and Travis Pennel NJ wrestler with multiple years of experience as a coach and wretsler.

I started a middle school program 3 years ago and took over the high school program 2 years ago. I anticpate having a large crop of Freshman this year with 2-3 years of middle school experience.

 

I would love to talk with you as we are looking to have someone take over the middle school program and add at least one more assistant position moving into to next season.

 

 

Thanks,

Donnie Shipley

Elizabethton High School

I would like to thank everyone who responded to my post. You have all been very kind and helpful. I have sent out quite of few emails and I will send a few more. I think I will really enjoy coaching in this area.Thanks for the southern hospitality

WHERE IN THE TRI-CITIES AREA WILL YOU BE MOVING?

[AzZa9]

Not sure yet, my wife tells me that wrestling will be the major factor where we move but she is in nursing school so somewhere near a hospital most likely!

[AzZa9]

It should read wrestling will not be a major factor

[THEANIMAL]

I AM SURE WE CAN FIND YOU A SPOT. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN OFFICIATING?

Not a chance I am coach not a ref

[ArtusCimber]

I am the coach at Dobyns-Bennett.  Sory it took me so long to reply but we hosted the AAU Elementary National Duals this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you concerning our program.  Please let me know if you are interested in having a conversation.

 

We have great facilities, the best feeder program in the area, a very dedicated staff and great support.  We will sign 2 wrestlers for scholarships this class and expect the trend to continue.

I'm not sure what empirical evidence "the best feeder system in the area" comment is based upon. Viking Wrestling Club, which has produced two recent (underclass) state medalists over the past two seasons, and has produced a nucleus that made a deep run in the state duals this year, probably deserves that distinction. They will be the team to beat in the region next year, and don't appear to be going away anytime soon. It might also be noted that their middle school team finished second in both the conference indidvual and dual tournaments.

 

The team that finished ahead of them in the middle school conference was Liberty Bell, which feeds Science Hill. They were undefeated in the conference this season and will return a strong nucleus; in addition, it looks like sixth graders will be able to participate on the middle school team next year.

 

I hope I don't confuse anyone with the facts.

I think you talked slow enough so no one wod be confused. The term that is commonly misunderstood is the term feeder. The term feeder is not just middle school, but anything below high school. The other thing you have to consider is DB and Jeff County has 2 middle school programs to everyone else that has one. Robinson is stronger for sure, but there are usually a couple that do well from sevier as well. Elementary is where the best feeders are, not middle school. This might also help make your case too artus climber

This is from AAU state and Indian springs is DB feeder. Coach from PA, there are big rivalries in this region. That makes the region interesting, but it is a double edged sword when the cost of winning is too much then seeing kids succeed. Good luck to everyone as they prepare in the offseason and to the KIDS future endeavors.

What do the highlighted numbers below represent?

 

Indian Springs Warrior Wrestli 3907 31 212.5

 

Bristol Wrestling Club 3909 13 115.5

 

 

Did anyone have to qualify for AAU State this year?

 

 

 

Hope this thread doesn't go off the rails.

 

Also hope that AzZa9 can find a place to coach in the Tri-Cities. There's only one head coaching job that's likely to be available if that's what you're looking for. Not sure that it will be.

 

 

Most of this region try to work together improve the overall wrestling in the area. We are still not on par with much of the state but some schools are making strides and appear to be closing the gap. Some schools not so much. These schools are where you would have the most immediate impact.
