Coached against him since he graduated and started coaching, and would agree with some of the statements here. His team used to wrestle in tournaments at averett, and it was not uncommon for them to have 4 or 5 kids in every weight class. I'm pretty sure my son wrestled three of their kids in a single tournament once.

Here's a blurb from the Ferrum site that illustrates my point re: numbers -- JoesterVT Jul 18, 2025 at 05:16 PM ET

JoesterVT • 07/18/25 05:16 PM ET

50-60 a year? That's wild! I wonder how many wrestled outside practice. -- UpperQuad Jul 18, 2025 at 06:37 PM ET
