rigger101, I am a little disappointed in you. Of course, we aren't in the same "league" as a Farragut. Not yet!

Wouldn't dare say that we should be mentioned with the Farraguts or Bradley Co.'s of the world, but, just a tiny bit of respect would be nice. My kids have earned it.

Keep up the bulletin board material. My kids are loving it!!!

(rigger101, I am a little disappointed in you.)

What did I do? I don't know all the kids in Region 2. I hoped that you smart folks would get on here and educate me. I'm on the road about 3 days a week and only know a little about the kids we wrestle.

 

I think U have some good looking wrestlers over there and wish we were going against yall. Not my call.

I enjoyed watching your kids at region last year.

I know your team feels slighted because Farragut want come over there and wrestle but why don't yall talk to the Farragut Coach and fill in at some of our duals?

 

I feel we have the right to be a little Cocky! We are the 6 X KIL/Regional Champions thumb We were the 5X Regioal Dual Champs until last year. We didn't even place high enough in our District to go. (Injuries)

Also, we have produced a few State Champs, finalist and had a few place over the last 6 years. Our team accomplished this even though they have had 4 coaches in 6 years. Not bad for some snot nosed rich kids. (Joking)

 

We know that's what people say! I even heard a discussion last week on the Knoxville talk radio station about Farragut and $.

 

We R the Big Dog in Region 2, until U kick us off the porch.

God luck, I like your team.

Can they beat Greenback and go to the State Duals?

rcpatriot, How's the visitor Coach from up North working out? Is he still coming around? I saw him talking to all your wrestlers after they came off the mats at Karns.

Watch your back. LOL

[rcpatriot]

Let me start of by saying that I have great respect for the Farragut program and for what Joe and Kerry have done. As I have mentioned before, coaches in general don't get the due credit they deserve, especially volunteer coaches. Please don't think I was being sarcastic when I sayed that Kingston isn't at the level with the Farraguts, Bradley Centrals, etc. I was being realistic and giving my honest opinion. Yes, I am a little ticked that we couldn't get a dual with Farragut, and rightly so. For years, no one has wanted to wrestle Kingston because of the lack of competition. Now that we can compete, I have struggled to get the top teams in the East Tenn. area to schedule us. I am not saying that Farragut or anyone else is "scared" to wrestle us, just saying that we have willingly traveled to Farragut every year and got our butts kicked. I notified Joe that I had an opening with Cumberland Co. in Jan., before his schedule was set, and an opening with Rhea Co.. Both at Kingston. Nothing. Not even a call back to get us to come to Farragut. Which I am reluctant to do simply because we have gone to Farragut for the last 6 yrs. and they have never came to Kingston.

My main point with my previous post was that not one time has a wrestler from Kingston been mentioned this year. That is lack of respect. Do I have a state champion on this year's team? I don't know. Time will tell. I have told my wrestlers about the lack of respect that Kingston wrestling gets, and have also told them that they have to go out and earn that respect. I believe they will.

Can we beat Greenback and go to State Duals? Don't know. As the old saying goes, were going to take them one at a time. I have great respect for Coach Ridge at Greenback, but wouldn't dare say that Greenback is the only competition in the "small school" division. I will say that Kingston will be at the teams duals for the "small school" division and we will be competitive. Going to be a great year of wrestling.

Regarding the "visiting" coach, he seems to know alot about the sport and is passionate about teaching. He knows his place and has been a good supporter so far. He's still looking for a teaching/coaching position in and around the area.

Hey coach, good post good luck against Bradley and let us know how they look at the different weights.

Which kid is the oriental kid? He's a real go getter. He looked good at region last year.

I truly believe we will be hearing "Kingston" for a long time to come in the Tennessee wrestling world. They have established an extremely successful feeder program that is seeing results now. The more schools that can begin a program for younger children in the East Tennessee area similar to Seymour, Halls, Kingston, etc. the more competitive wrestling will be, not only in Region 1 and 2, but in the entire state.

 

I commend the Kingston coaching staff for the success they have received and will continue to receive. These guys have built this program and if I am not mistaken, are non faculty coaches. That says a lot about character and dedication to the sport and to the kids.

 

Good Luck Kingston, we will see you down the road.

Coach, what does your line up look like?

[rcpatriot]

Korean Kid is Chet Crass. He will be at 130 starting with the Catholic Tourn. this week. Just wish he had one more year. I'm sure many coaches are saying that!

Should be a fun weight. I think Paul Mountain will be at that weight for Farragut.

I don't believe that anyone has forgotten Farragut, i remeber watching Dix win state, and cheering for Knox, second place in state isn't too bad, and i believe he will be in the finals again, i was amazed that they were only Juniors, i had thought they were older untill i read the state brackets. That right there shows the strength that is in region 2, it always seems to be a competitive gion, especially when you look at how large it is. if i am not mistaken it is the largest region isn't it, i could be wrong.
