school that dont get credit?

How about Farragut?

Four coach's in Five years!

Six time KIL and Regiona/Duel Champions!

We didn't win our district and for the 1st time in 6 years, we did not compete in the Region Duels. 0 fressmen this year. Gave up to 3 weight classes per match.

We win the KIL! Karns gets a half a page article in the Knoxville paper.

We win Region! Seymour gets the headline and article.

We finish 4th in the State Tournament and nothing in the locale paper.

That's what I call No credit.

Farragut has won the region title 6 years in a row

Farragut has finished top five in state twice in last five years 5th-2000 and 4th 2004

Farragut has had 4 different Head coaches since 1999

Next year Farragut has a returning state champ (Scott Dix) and state runner-up (Justin Knox) as well as returning state qualifiers (Paul Mountain) missed half season knee surgery, Chad Blankenship, and Nick Reveiz. Also starters ChuckLayton Nick Montgomery,and Brandon Lazarus The youth program will provide immediate help in the lower weight classes. Farragut next year has the opportunity to improve on this years 4th place finish.

Why the high number of Head Coach turnover since '99?

[fwc00]

Coach Cates retired 1999

Coach Houston left 2002 for better paying position in GA.

Coach Weldon left 2003 due to teacher that had taken leave returning and bumping Coach Weldon out of teaching job, he is at Karns now

Coach Knox was wrestling at Gardner Webb and then Carson Newman. Farragut had no coach as of late Sept. so Knox and high school teammate Kerry Ferguson took the job to ensure wrestling continued at their old high school. Program that had 30 wrestlers in 2000 was down to 15 this year with only 11 weight classes filled

Youth program has picked up so the future looks brighter.

rigger101, 4th in the state and NO local coverage, Your whole school should take that as an insult. If our sport is to continue to grow than this is a problem that needs to be addressed. Great job at state and good luck next year.
