Congatulations to Whites Creek High School and their volunteers for a well run tournament. Wrestling started at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and was over around 9:00-10:00. Started back again at 9:00 Saturday morning and we were gone from the gym, after final awards, around 7:30.

 

Good luck to all Region 6 qualifiers at state next weekend.

KJFan-----------don't forget the fried fish sandwiches the concession stand served up on Saturday. An added bonus and a welcome change from the usual hot dogs/burgers/pizza tournament fare.

Some of you may not care, or have not been keeping track, but I would like to congratulate Nick Gregory of Pearl-Cohn at 171 lbs. It may not be known, but he is the first state qualifier from PC since 1994. That is a long stretch b/w state qualifiers. He lost a good match against Valentine in the semifinals. Good luck next week.

You are right about the Gregory kid. Those of us at the tournament were wondering who this kid was and, after seeing him wrestle a few matches, where he had been all year. Good wrestler----very strong and athletic. We heard ( don't know if it is true) that PC had some coaching issues when the season started up and as a result did not get entered in any tournaments and basically just wrestled a few dual matches. Too bad, because this kid is a good wrestler and if he had been in some tournaments would have made some noise. He gave Valentine all he could handle. He is a senior according to the brackets, which means he won't be back---------if he were, he would definitely be a kid to watch for next year. Since he finished 4th, he will probably get a No.1 seed and a tough draw at state, but his opponent better not overlook him because of the seed-----------and if he loses and gets carried, some 2 or 3 seed better not take him lightly because he is a 4th seed or they are going to get stuck.

pearl cohn did not get started until about the second semester, he and some of his teamates attended a few of our practices and he is a great wrestler, if he fights as hard as he did against valentine when he is in chattanooga, then watch out for some major upsets

He is pretty good, good luck. Oh yeah, and rabidmonkey, what did I tell you about Cox, you caught him the first time when he was sick. he was full strength at the regions,and was 4 sec. from the finals.
