Josh Edmonson has big plans as Hixson’s new wrestling coach Staff file photo / Hixson High School announced the hire of Josh Edmondson as the next head coach of its wrestling program this week. Today at 5:00 p.m. by Patrick MacCoon Hixson High School announced the hire of Josh Edmondson as the next head coach of its wrestling program this week. Staff file photo / Hixson High School announced the hire of Josh Edmondson as the next head coach of its wrestling program this week. Josh Edmondson, who has helped multiple high school wrestling programs in the Chattanooga area win TSSAA state titles, is eager to help Hixson become a championship contender again after being hired this week as head coach of the Wildcats. The 40-year-old Edmonson, who wrestled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and was a two-time Southern Conference individual champion for the Mocs, most recently coached as an assistant for Soddy Daisy's 2023-24 team that set the Class A state record for most team points at a state traditional tournament. Edmondson was a standout at Medical Lake High School in Washington, where he went 28-0 as a junior to win a state title, and went on to win a junior college national championship for North Idaho. He transferred to UTC for his junior season and won back-to-back 184-pound titles at the SoCon tournament in 2007 and 2008, years in which the Mocs also swept the conference's regular-season and tournament team championships. He has spent more than a decade putting that experience to work as a high school coach, and for Edmonson, it's not just about making better wrestlers. "My passion is to teach young wrestlers discipline and get them ready to go out and face the challenges that life is going to throw at us," Edmondson said. "When a former athlete comes back and says you were a big reason why they were able to fight this fight or get a job or be this parent, that's what keeps me going. That is the passion I am looking forward to putting into these kids." In his first high school coaching job, Edmondson teamed up with college teammate Joey Knox to help Central win back-to-back TSSAA state duals titles in 2011 and 2012. Edmondson then joined Garick Hall at Hixson and helped the Wildcats win a state traditional title in 2014, the program's first since 1973. Edmondson is excited to not only help rebuild the Wildcats, who most recently made it to state duals in 2021, but also help lead the high school's girls' wrestling program and a kids' club for Hixson. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/mar/26/josh-edmonson-has-big-plans-as-hixsons-new/ -
If you are good enough schools overlook a lot to take you(see any of the Ferrari’s and their traveling circus). I’m sure he will end up at like Okie State in the end. -
That’s because they have about half the students and not near the NIL that a place like App State does. But in the end you still have to live in Boone NC and sorry AppVol, no reason to live in Boone or North Carolina in that regard!

Minnesota - check iowa - check iowa st - check does Chittum have enough eligibility to hit ALL the schools? Its surprising to me that anyone would take him since he doesn’t seem to overly concerned with anyone other than himself.
