Tates Creek High School
WRESTLING

COACH'S COMMENTS
 
Tates Creek returns 26 of 29 wrestlers from last years team.  The Creek had two wrestlers place in the state tournament (Zac Brown and Nathan Gray).  We had 3 regional champions (Zac Brown, Nathan Gray, and Daniel Griggs).  Our team finished a close 2nd in the city tournament, and placed 1st at Johnson Central, and 3rd at the TCI.
All three regional champions return (Zac, Nathan, and Daniel), in addition to several starters that had winning records and have particiated in the state tournament.  Kasey Hedges, Dodd Kinder, and Andrew Wright all bring winning records, high rankings and state tournament experience to the 2008-09 team.  Returning starters also include: Brandon Abney; Rilie Warner; Stephen Kimbrel; Drew Kinsel; and Jacob Soard.
There are many other good wrestlers that look to slide into the starting lineup next season.  Brandon Stockwell was a state champion in the JV state tournament.  Joe Davis placed 2nd in this tournament.  Other returning lettermen include: Nick Massarone; Abraham Elgumati; Alberto Velasco; Ronnie Salem; Travis Rigsby; Freddy Shadeh; and Cory Evans.
Our middle school team fared well this past season.  We had 5 young men from the middle schools.  Cody Eades; Cole Craven; Isacc Sizemore; Tyler Zepada; and nathan Simmons all competed with success at this level.  Cody Eades and Cole Craven also moved up and wrestled some against high school wrestlers.
Several young ladies contribute as statasticians.  They contribute by keeping score, time, statistics, or anything else that the team needs.  Returning are: Rachael Chandler; Brittany Stephenson; Mary Wright; and Shelby Potter.
