Greenback wrestled the best match in the school's history against Farragut in the Distict 4 showdown. Hats off to Farragut and Karns who beat Greenback 42-34 with two great overtime matches which Karns won. I hope this is a preview of the type of wrestling that the regions and state hold in store. Goodluck to Karns in the regions.

not to put down greenback's victory, but they did get forfeits at 103, 112, 119, and another weight class. they did get outwrestled. I was at the match, and this is the only thing that is disturbing. i saw their coaches tell there kids to run. run away from their opponent. do what you have to do to not get pinned. get tech falled but not pinned. this is not how we should do things. a coach should make their wrestler feel invincible, that they could beat anybody in the state. even if you know they can't.. what will happen is that this team will send very few to state tournament, because they know how to barely get by. congrats on your win greenback, but unfortunately your ride ends at region.

There is nothing wrong with teaching a kid to stall out in a dual meet. Each wreslter that got a tech saved their team a point. I agree that a coach should teach their kids to beat everyone, but there are times that the kids just need to go as long as they can without getting pinned. I don't think they should run, but if they do, isn't that the refs job to call the stall. The other school needs to teach their kids how not to be stalled out. Some wrestlers are almost impossible to go 6 minutes with because they are rough enough to force the kids to open up and get decked.

The Greenback Wrestling Team and their coaches are to be congratulated for two outstanding meets. The object of a dual meet is to win the meet. That means you have a full line up and you move your wrestlers to the best advantage. And each match must wrestled to either get the most points possible or to give up the least points possible. Many times this means that some wrestlers will have to make a sacrifice for the good of the team. Greenback did an excellent job of having everyone in the right place at the right time. Congratulations also to Karns on an excellent performance.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
