Waiver: I_________________________ give my child_______________________ permission to participate in the Grundy Wrestling Club Grundy Open Wrestling Tournament. I accept full responsibility for any misfortune, physical or financial, that may occur before, during, or after any match or participation in the Grundy Open Wrestling Tournament. Further I will not hold responsible Grundy Wrestling Club, Grundy High School, Buchanan County Public Schools, or any agent or associate of the before mentioned organizations for any injury or misfortune that may occur due to participation in the said tournament.
Just a note, JJ Jude from Johnson Central KY is a heck of a football player. I hear the stats they say he had and it was crazy. IDK if this is true, but they said he was one of the top rushers in the country with over 3500 yards rushing and had 560 and 6 tds in one game. 171 is crazy here too. one semi is McClanahan vs Peterson 1 and 2 in AA rankings the other is Jude vs Adams from FC a 2x AAA Runner-up.
Here is the DL. Carroll Co, Graham, Galax, Coeburn and McCreary County Ky all cancelled due to weather. Here are the teams. Appalachia, Abingdon, Richlands, Tazewell, Rye Cove, Grundy, Franklin County, JJ Kelly, Powell Valley, Glenvar, Staunton River, Hidden Valley, Johnson Central Ky, East Ridge Ky, Northside, Rural Retreat, Lee High, John Battle, Daniel Boone Tn, Alleghany NC, Blacksburg, and J I Burton. With the changes I would expect a slight delay in the start time. Weigh ins will be at 7 still, but I figure wrestling won't start till 9:30 or so.
TA is not going to be at the Agie due to travel restrictions. Hopefully they will return in the future. Blacksburg and Sheldon Clark are late sending in their rosters. Blacksburg has the Agie listed on their schedule so I guess they are just getting through the Christmas weekend. With this being said here are the teams and ranked wrestlers. The rankings are not seeds and are the weights the wrestlers are ranked at. The ranking is in the respective state and division.
Appalachia, Abingdon, Richlands, Tazewell, Graham, Rye Cove, Grundy, Franklin County, J.J. Kelly, Powell Valley, Galax, Glenvar, Staunton River, Hidden Valley, McCreary Co. Ky, Johnson Central Ky, Northside, Carroll Co, East Ridge Ky, Rural Retreat, Lee High, Coeburn, John Battle, Daniel Boon Tn. and Alleghany NC. Still looking for rosters from Blacksburg, and Sheldon Clark Ky
Turner Ashby will not be at the "Agie Skeens" Tourny--hasn't been in years. No East Ridge, Sheldon Clarke or Blacksburg either. Coeburn will be there.
TA has been a regular since they "got good". East Ridge has a new team and will be there. Sheldon Clarke has been there since the 80's. And Blacksburg has been there since Humbert was their coach. TA is the only team I think may miss, only due to the coaching change at TA. However, I do not look for them to miss it either. With the date of the Agie Skeens Memorial, some coaches have a hard time. You have to train through the holidays. In the past, we have had teams back out the day before and had teams not show up. We have had a wide variety of excuses for this.
I'm gonna try, but I know I will leave somebody out.
Agie Skeens Memorial Teams
Appalachia, Abingdon, Richlands, Tazewell, Graham, Rye Cove, Grundy, Franklin County, J.J. Kelly, Powell Valley, Galax, Glenvar, Staunton River, Hidden Valley, McCreary Co. Ky, Johnson Central Ky, Sheldon Clarke Ky, Northside, Carroll Co, East Ridge Ky, Rural Retreat,Turner Ashby, Blacksburg, and the ones I missed.
I really didn't think everyone would go so crazy because the man said the "T" word. I hate that Grundy and Richlands won't be playing anymore. I have heard some contradicting statements reguarding us not playing. Coach Rowe has said for years that if Grundy went single A Richlands would not play us. He even told the school board that. However, I was told last week that Coach Mance is upset that Coach Rowe won't schedule Richlands. Mance had said he had tried on multiple occasions, including sending the contract on multiple dates. I was told that Mance even said if he had to he would drop Honaker. I was confused and if anyone can clear it up for me it would be much appreciated.
Thoughts and Prayers goes out to the Bergelow Family they lost their home to a fire last night. This is the Family of Tyler Bergelow, running back for Grundy. Please keep them in your Prayers.
I was told a few years ago the plan for Buchanan County was to consolidate Hurley and Grundy high schools keeping Hurley elem/middle open. Close Prater and Bevins and send those kids to Riverview. Then build the "New School" at poplar gap to add to the projects value. The "New School" would then consolidate Twin Valley High School and Grundy/Hurley. They would leave Twin Valley Middle open. The reason to do this is to cut down the uproar when they call the new school Grundy. Then Twin Valley Middle/elem, Hurley middle / elem and Riverview middle / elem will feed the "New School".
I thought of a couple more, PH Glade Springs, Chilhowie, Tazewell, Lebanon, Holston, Va High, Abingdon, Northwood, Rural Retreat, George Wythe and Bluefield.
