Pat,
You are right!!! I did forget 2 people. Mike Lovvorn and Koby Price of Jackson County Wrestling Club. They were the main influences in my boys wrestling for years. We have traveled to USJOC, Tulsa Nationals, Brute Nationals, Liberty Nationals, Southern Plains, Folkstyle Nationals and to Kansas Freestyle and Greco State and a multitude of other local tournaments, or Cokely's barn in the past 5 years....and prior to that Justin and Jason coached in the room but rarely my boys.

I am not and will not tear down the Ogden's but they were not the one's that taught my boys, respect, responsibility, grace under pressure or how to get a takedown. This was started at home in our front living room floor by my husband. I will give JCWC coaches and teammates a shout out as this is where it began. But it has been YEARS since this team of boys, less one, has been coached by the Ogden's.

I will say that the Ogden's, or atleast Jared, came up and congratulated Lucas and Mike on our wins , the team and our Championship this year following both Regionals and State and complimented us and our Holton coaching staff.

We didn't win a League title until 4 years ago when Coach Jackson started coaching HS, Holton has never won a Regional or for sure a State Championship until Coach Jackson started coaching. He brings an entire team up to another level. JV included , he works with everyone not just a few elite. Our boys have him to thank for the work ethic and dedication to our team in the room day in and day out!

So Pat, when you say I forgot 2 fine coaches , you are right. Sorry Mike Lovvorn and Koby Price...your dedication to the sport and to our boys speaks for its self. Thank you for the countless hours outside a wrestling room spent making our boys what they are today. And to Scott Baum, Brett Fletcher, Jimmy Lovvorn, Corey Shields, Ryan Phillips, Bob Phillips, Noel Montgomery, Duane Rieschick and Rex Frazier over the past years in the JCWC kids wrestling program.

It is awesome that HOLTON wrestling qualified 12 and placed 6 this year and we are blessed to have the coaching staff that we currently have in Holton.

Peace Out,
Kim Lovvorn ( or Until the next time you ruffle my feathers.)
