userdaddy 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 Peterson beat Dunn, Carr beat Tinsley, Horn beat Pinner, Merritt Pinned Grissom.. That was the last time Woodford came to Hoptown.. Their bus was vandalized. Every finals match was nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a district finals and Gene Washington ( one of the best) wouldn't call it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger123 43 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 One of the best at what? Home cookin! The combo of Gene and Coach Parks/Carr was like Boss Hogg and the Boars nest. I tend to agree with that assessment. Gene seemed like a great guy off the mat, but back in the day, get him in a big match involving Woodford and they always seemed to get the benefit of the doubt.

R.Rickman171 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 If i recall correctly...Tinsley tossed Joe to his back in the beginning on the match (the Dungeon erupted) and then Joe rolled through and stuck Tinsley in the 1st minute. ..and I do believe Tinsley refused to take the podium during the awards ceremony.

Wrestling Dad 99 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 My son was wrestling in the finals at 103 for Caldwell County in that tournament. No question, Carr was flat on his back for 3 or 4 seconds. The ref was in shock and took his time getting down to look. You could see he wanted to call a pin, but just couldn't bring himself to do it. By the way, that was Carr's junior year. His senior year he wrestled another Caldwell wrestler in the state finals, blatantly slammed him, was called for a slam, and the Caldwell kid continued wrestling. In both cases, Carr could have, and perhaps should have, lost the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henderson185 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 No one would happen to have any video of this tournament would they?
