You left a big one out. The Defensive Coordinator at Hoptown. Dustin Lopez is a proven DC that kids love to play for and be around. I don't know if he will apply or not, but he would be my front runner. He has been doing Head Coach duties for almost 4 1/2 years now. He deserves to have his name next to the HC Title. If he were to get the Christian County Gig I believe that he would have that program going in the right direction.
Is he going to change his tune and support football players wrestling in the winter? If not, then not interested. js

The sport is growing in Kentucky. It starts with elementary and middle school programs. Students get involved and want to continue in High School. Once the mat is purchased, usually the biggest start up cost, starting program is not much of a problem.

Sweeperboy:Wrestling will have a direct impact on football, but it will be a positive impact. The sport will make any football players who wrestle a better football player. It will increase their stamina, hand/eye coordination, balance, tackling ability, and so much more. Some of the best players in the NFL wrestled. Tom Osborne, Bob Stoops, and other College coaches actively recruit football players who wrestle. This will be a great thing for your school.

Jim Ploesser- Hopkinsville: 3 State Championship & 4 State Runner-up teams, plus numerous Individual State Champions.
Jim Perrin- Christian County: 1 State Championship & 2 State Runner-up teams, plus numerous Individual State Champions. Started the program

Former you said: So coaches should punish kids for moving?
No, if the move was made for legimate reasons, not just because the dad got mad at the coaching staff & moved.
Put it this way- How would you feel is you spent the whole year as a varsity wrestler, ready to go to state and Luke Metzker or Brad Cooper moved in a week before district and took your spot? Remember they started the season at Henry Clay or Simon Kenton, got mad at their coaches & moved to Larue for wrestling purposes only.
It's one thing for those boys to move in and compete all season, it's another for them to move in a week before region and take someone's job. Yes, they are studs, but what message is being sent to the Campbell County team. Hard work & dedication mean less then another team championship.
My only question: what would Coach B do if the Myers moved in & to job they were going to take was his sons?
-
Does John plan to get some wrestling going on before the schools merge?
As I understand it, he's starting elementary this season. Middle School next and High School after the merge.
-
In addition to the teams Coach McCoy mention, Owensboro and Graves County added teams this year. In two years when the three McCraken County schools combine they will have a program. They have hired John Adams, the former Christian County head coach, to be their head coach.

The sport is growing every year. 13 years ago when I started coaching in District 1, which is now Region 1 had 6 teams. It now has 14 teams. This is a direct result of the growth of middle school and elementary programs. The high school teams are seeing an increase as direct result of the middle school programs. In 2000 there were 70 high school teams wrestling in Kentucky, last year there were 92. In 2000 13 teams competed in the middle school state championships, last year there were 61 teams. Interest is on the rise. Now we just need it to move into those last areas of the state that are wrestling free, i.e. Bowling Green.

I'm just glad to hear another program is starting.The more the merrier. Male is starting this year in the Louisville area. Now if we can get any of the Bowling Green area teams- ACS, Franklin-Simpson, Warren Central, Greenwood, Bowling Green and more of the Western Kentucky Schools- Marshall Co, Graves Co, McCracken Co. etc. to start it would be even better

It was 14-0 Colonels before the Christian County Offense got on the field. Tandy 5 punt returns for TD's, 4 counted, (1 called back). He also scored a TD and conversion on offense. Final score 71-7. All the starters started the 2nd half on the bench with their shoulder pads off.

no, it was an open tournament for anyone Pre-K to 6th gradewho wanted to come wrestle. We have it the 3rd weekend of March every year.

While there may be little interest on this site, that's not the case in Kentucky. There have been 20 High School programs added since 2000 and countless numbers of Middle School teams. In Region 1 next year Trigg County and Henderson County will be coming back. Marshall County is looking for a coach and the new McCracken County High School is as well. So, while talk on this site is minimal, interest in the sport is growing.

The ball bounced and then was caught. Replay showed it, but they took it off the big screen as soon as they realized the officials made the wrong call. However, Highlands was still the better team. CCHS couldn't capitalize on the turnovers they created and stalled out when they got inside the 20.
On the unsportsmanlike conduct: it was bang bang the whistle blew and 13 threw the player down, could have gone either way, depends on which side you were cheering for.
Very impressed with #7 from Highlands, he had a great game everywhere the ball was so was he.
Congrats to Highlands, here’s hoping for a return engagement next year.
-
Region 1 may bring two teams this year, but one of them will not be Christian County. They are going to North Hardin's tournament this weekend, not the Region 1 Duals.
-
So what's the story? Is Boyd County going to have a program this year?
-
The second it ends, because then it's wrestling season and a large number of our football players wrestle.
-
This is for goherd 96- who I think said "I hope Russell never starts a program"
I got it in e-mai from my assistant coach, who happens to also be an assistant football coach. One more thing wrestling does not compete with basketball for athletes, we are looking for those students who are doing nothing between fall and spring. It is possible for both sports to co-exist. The expense works itself out in the end. Most wrestling mats last up to 20 years if properly taken care of.

I agree our best OL/DL are usually wrestlers. Our wrestling coach and I work together to coordinate schedules and it is a great thing for our program.

HERE IS SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ADVANTAGES OF FOOTBALL AND WRESTLING WORKING TOGETHER . JUST SOME THOUGHTS YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT.
Several successful partnerships between wrestling and football. Might dissolve some of the stereotypes that some of our football coaches have about wrestling.

Wrestlers in the NFL
10 Hall of Famers
43 Pro Bowlers
3 Heisman trophy winners
14 first round draft picks wrestled
23 RB'S / 20 LB'S / 2 QB'S / 66 LINEMEN / 6 DB'S / 1 K / 54 NP
Skills that football coaches liked that were enhanced by wrestling -many positions are absolutely transferable between both sports.
-Some skills include but not limited to footwork, handwork, eye coordination, mental toughness, explosive movements and balance.
-Learning the ability to beat the man in front of you can not be ignored.
32 pro football teams, 65 man roster, equals = 2,080 players
185 were wrestlers - 11.24%
5% of all the Hall of Famers have wrestling backgrounds.

No, it wasn't over Tandy's stats. It was an exchange between a former Christian County coach, who now coaches at Greenwood and Coach Whitaker over penatly calls. It happened during the first half.
-
Our middle school teams practice with the high school, mainly because I coach both. If our board would fund the middle school programs I would stick to only the high school, but I'm not holding my breath for funding anytime soon.

Not arguing that he loves football, just wanted to be sure that the best program currently at CCHS, that has worked hand in hand with the previous football coach, will continue to get that kind of support if he is hired. Having spoken with him I feel he will continue to support football players wrestling in the winter. That being said I would only/could only support a hire that supports football players wrestling in the winter as it is a win/win for both programs. jm2c
