Arlington's Commitment to Wrestling

Kudos to the Arlington School District.  They just cut the ribbon on the high school's new dedicated wrestling facility.  It's an annex to the school building that includes a huge wrestling room.  I don't know the exact square footage but I'd guess it to be in the 4-5K square foot ball park; just an eyeball guess.  It can easily hold two full size mats with room for about 6-7 rows of rollout bleachers.  I imagine home duals will be held there going forward.  It has its own lobby with a concession stand.  It also includes a nice locker room, weight room, coach's office, laundry room, mat storage room and showers.  The school system has definitely committed to supporting its most accomplished sports program.  Maybe the biggest benefactor of the new facility will be the youth program which can now easily mat the 70 or so kids in the program.  Although going through a lean time at the moment, this shows the commitment Arlington has to wrestling and how it bodes well for the idea that the Tigers are well positioned to be a consistently top program for decades to come.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
