Guys,

It's me again going from the frying pan into the fire! I am in need of my beloved wrestling families help, I celebrated my 70th birthday on Sunday by accepting the assistant wrestling coaching position at Pearl-Cohn HS, another inner city high school in Nashville without a tradition in wrestling. Coach Bryan Youngsma has done a great job coaching the team by himself the past two years!

Our athletes have all talent in the world, but very little money, Monday was my first day practicing with the guys and girls on the team. Most of them don't have wrestling shoes, they are practicing in their school clothes and in their sock feet!

In 2010 I asked for your help with donating whatever used wrestling gear for Stratford HS, that you had left over at the end of the season. Believe me when I tell you that these guys will be like kids at Christmas to get anything to wear for practice and during matches! Anything that is still useable will be greatly appreciated! You can reach me at 615-400-4589 or wrestlingdominancerater@gmail.com

Let me know what you have and for me make arrangements on the best way for me get your stuff to the Pearl-Cohn wrestlers! I am thanking you in advance because I know the heart of our great wrestling family! Have a great and healthy upcoming season. God bless!

 

Coach Doug Newman

Assistant Coach

Pearl-Cohn High School

Nashville, TN

Coach, yours is an admirable effort not only for giving back to a program in a dire context but doing so at 70 yrs young. I might he able to help out in regards to the shoe situation; please give me 48-72 hrs and I will get back to you thru email &/or phone.

 

Regarding the rest of the coacht community; I think it is p$ss poor that no one else has publicly offered support to this gentleman on this thread (hopefully efforts have been made off this medium to do so)! It isn't like PC is asking for a major donation for new mats or to hyperboliZe; an endowment to build a palace to rival the château on Norwood. It is a simple request by a selfless coach in a resource starved system to procur the basics. Efforts like these are crucial to preserving and growing the sport.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
