3 Tennessee guys Big 12 starters...

[RMC]

My nephew, Drew Woodward, is still at Carson-Newman and competed at the VMI and Cumberland College tournaments over the past 2 weekends. At 184 he was 1 - 2 at VMI and 2 - 1 at Cumberland College (3rd place).

I just love to hear a Tenn. wrestler is doing good. Keep up the good work guys.

I know that this is a Big 12 thread, but it seems to morphing into a thread on college wrestlers in general from Tennessee, let me just say two additional words: Phillip Simpson.

[BuckLateral]

King Luke---------- you might want to make that 5 additional words: Phillip Simpson and Patrick Simpson. Here are the results of the Army Black/Gold Intrasquad match on November 8, 2003 as posted on TheMat.com.

What are the possibilities that Army, Nebraska and Oklahoma St. meeting this year somewhere? The reason I ask is there is the possibility that we could have a couple of TN guys wrestling each other. 141 Matt Keller/NU vs Patrick Simpson/Army...and at 157 Kevin Ward/OSU vs. Phillip Simpson/Army. I think Nebraska and Army will be at the Va. Duals but I'm not sure. I don't know if OSU and Army will be together anywhere though. Maybe there are some Open tourney's they'll be at. Could be interesting. If anyone knows please post.

Nathan Moorman, 184, two time state placer from Halls is a 5th year senior and captain at Carson-Newman. He is a national qualifier, and has been working in Oklahoma over the summer. Cody Humphrey of Halls who won state at 140, is starting 149 pounder. He went 2-2 at VMI, and 4-0 at Cumberland tournament. Other TN wrestlers are Drew Woodward, Stephen Mckinney, Tim Freel. I also saw Creagan wrestle at Duke, and he looked real good his first match, and struggled a little at the end of the day, but he will challenge for a starting position soon.

 

 

Side note: 2 time national champion 133 pounder johnny thompson at OSU was pinned in the wrestle off by a freshman. Amazing.

I am very proud of these guys from Tennessee wrestling in big time programs. It can only make the state of Tennessee look that much better. Rusty has been waiting on this moment for a while. Matt on the other hand should have been starting a long time ago. Nathan Jones and Josh Bonham are both wrestling collegiately. Nathan Jones is at Carson-Newman while Josh Bonham is at Cumberland College.

Where did these guys wrestle at?

[Rabbitt]

Kevin Ward (OSU) will wrestle Jake Yost (UTC) this friday at the Oklahoma State vs. UTC match. Both wrestlers are from Soddy Daisy and are best friends and have been training partners for years. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH WRESTLERS!!

[JustWrestle]

This is all so cooool! I am so proud of our Tennessee guys who are scattered around the country. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS. YOU REPRESENT TENNESSEE WELL!! We are cheering for you.

Xanderzone;

I heard Nathan Jones(State champ @ 171 last year) was going to the Naval Academy. Is this the same Nathan Jones you are referring to?

I was told Nathan Jones changed his mind and is now wrestling for Carson Newman.
