Wrestling Community, time to Step Up Again!!

Recommended Posts

While this is not "official" per say, there are major rumors going around that North Hardin High School is dropping their wrestling program. Yes, that's right...North Hardin, KHSAA State Tournament winners in 1968, 1969, 1978, and 1981 is dropping their wrestling program. Many know the Trojans were looking for a coach during the off-season, but apparently the school and school board were not looking very hard. While North's success has been few and far between recently as a team, no one can deny they have produced NUMEROUS strong individuals as well as putting on a very competitive individual High School tournament over the past few years, even adding a strong middle school AND youth tournament the past few seasons. If this rumor is true, and it's looking more and more that it is each day that passes, the wrestling community will be losing a great program this season.

I am hearing the same rumor. Just waiting for the NEWSENTERPRISE to do a story on it. Just want to see how they spin the collapse of that program. Also spoke with some of the wrestlers who had wrestled there and most if not all the top Wrestlers have already transferred to new schools. Also have been told B. Leak will not wrestle this year and D.smallwood has transferred to John Hardin. From what i have been told the transfers could be challenged for eligibility if the program remained active at NH.  an Region 2 will now only have two to three powerhouse teams. Meade, John Hardin and Larue.

Wow. What a terrible thing to hear for both our sport and our kids. Heres hoping they can get it figured out.

So at this point if you save the program it will result in all the kids who transferred to another local school not being eligible?  Attrition of programs happens.  Doesn't mean they're doomed forever at NH.  The parents and school can take time, find a suitable replacement coach and bring the program back in a year or two.
