maj Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I can think of at least 2 in east TN that have been circling the drain for a few years that will likely get the final flush this season. Any more in middle or west TN ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 With Metro Nashville Public Schools it's anyone's guess as to if and when a program will be dropped. MNPS and the administration on Bransford Avenue have not and will not seek out educators that are capable of coaching a sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonWrestling901 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 In West TN: Ridgeway (AAA) is resurrecting their program which has been inactive for the last two-three years Both of Southwind's (AAA) coaches left; however, their Athletic Director told me that they hired a new coach but he did not give a name St. George's (D-II) is only program I know that has not hired a new coach for this season, but I believe their athletic director is wanting to find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my understanding that after many years (30+) Lipscomb Academy has decided to discontinue the wrestling program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenback has been struggling for the last couple of years and McMinn has been on life support for decades. Neither school has much if any support from it's administration.

Coach Stoika is coming back to McMinn this year after announcing his retirement last year and they started a middle school team last year but yes once Stoika leaves they have to find a coach or the program will be done I would think. I truly think that they could have a successful program but there has to be support from the admin for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDArtist Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I just got an e-mail from Greenback asking for matches. So, it seems they are still alive and kicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
