Report for Tennessee Wrestling

By Luther Killian to Wrestling USA Magazine
9/20/2002

Luke Worsham

Tennessee lost a great coach and educator when Luther T. "Luke" Worsham passed away May 15, 2002 after succumbing to cancer. Luke, also nicknamed "Maj", taught and coached at Baylor School from 1949 until his retirement in 1991. He developed numerous individual state and national wrestling champions winning the team title at the Lehigh National Prep Tournament in 1970. Though he also coached football and track, Major Worsham was most recognized for his success and dedication to wrestling and previously had been inducted into the Tennessee chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for "life time service to wrestling." Not limited to coaching, he gained further recognition by the Tennessee Association of Independent Schools for his "distinguished teaching and dedicated service". Even more fitting and indicative of his influence on others were the words that former wrestlers, students, and colleagues stated in describing traits that Major Worsham exemplified and tried to instill in those around him: honor, courage, sacrifice, pride, character, perseverance, fidelity, love, and respect. On behalf of the Tennessee wrestling community: "Thanks, Luke"

In preparation for the Junior Nationals, Team Tennessee took dramatic strides to increase the level of success. Under the direction of Team Leader Louise Davis who served as the brains and organizer of the team, the wrestlers participated in an intensive three-day training camp prior to their departure for Fargo. Kudos to Jon Hill (Franklin), Shane Turner (Soddy) and Rick Campbell (Clarksville) for their outstanding work as the team coaches and Joe Blair for his work in hosting Team Tennessee Training Camp at Brentwood High School. Additional assistance was provided by Rob Sherrill, who also provided an incredible 20 hours of broadcasting directly from Fargo over www.tennwrestling.com.
And speaking of Fargo:

After a phenomenal career at Bradley Central under head coach Steve Logsdon
and assistant coach Heath Eslinger, Matt Keller heads to Nebraska with hopes of a successful college career as a Cornhusker. One of the most successful high school wrestlers to come from Tennessee, Matt repeatedly proved his power on the wrestling mat as a four-time state champion and two-time All-American place-finisher at the Junior Nationals in Fargo. At this year's tournament, Keller defeated five reigning state champions.
In addition to Keller, Brad Felix, Jordan Leen, and Jimmy Hiller did very well at Fargo. Kyle James, Tim Manson, Bond Davis, Ryan Scott, Charlie Warfield, Will Carson, Brandon Campbell, Ben Sharp, and Matt Clark also represented Tennessee.

Amateur Wrestling News tagged Army wrestling sensation, Phillip Simpson, as "the best 141-pound freshman in the NCAA." Concluding a phenomenal season with 37 victories, 20 by fall, Simpson continued to demonstrate his fireball type of aggressive wrestling at West Point that we in Tennessee saw for years as he grew and developed under the watchful eye of his father and MBA head coach, Frank Simpson. Three-time state champion, Patrick, also a son of Frank and Margaret Simpson, also will join the West Point wrestling team.

Waylon Lowe, wrestling for The University of Findlay, Ohio became that school's first Division II national champion winning in the 149 lb. class at Wisconsin-Parkside last March. Lowe wrestled at Jefferson County High School under Jeff Price, current head coach at Science Hill.
Danny Micka, former Red Bank wrestler coached by Dickie Brown, continued his wrestling success representing Georgia Tech at the 184 lb class winning the National Collegiate Wrestling Association Championship at Lafayette College.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (formerly The University of Chattanooga) has had only six head wrestling coaches in its previous 51 years of competition. The advantage of being lucky number seven goes to Terry Brands, who replaces Mark Leen. Brands wrestled for Dan Gable at Iowa where he won two individual NCAA championships after which he spent five years as Gable's assistant coach. Brands went on to become a two-time World Champion and Olympic Bronze medallist. He comes to Chattanooga highly regarded as a competitor and as a coach. The UTC Mocs have a long and successful wrestling history dominating their Southern Conference with 19 team championships, including four of the last five. The team returns four individual conference champions: Austin David, Quantel Langford, Matt Pitts and Jared Sullivan. A challenge eagerly accepted by Brands is to move the team past the conference championships and on to national prominence. Not since 1992 when Guy Harris and Howard Langford each finished 8th has a U. T. C. wrestler placed in the NCAA. Lee Fullhart and Heath Eslinger will ably assist Brands. Regional wrestling fans are very excited about the commitment demonstrated by the administration and the athletic department in bringing such an outstanding coach and staff to lead the "Mocs".

Speaking of Lee Fullhart, he demonstrated his prowess on the mat winning the Challenge Tournament at the World Team Trials recently held in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fullerton scored a 5-1 decision over Charles Burton in the finals that gave him the opportunity to challenge Cael Sanderson in a best-of-three competition. After a first-match win, Fullerton lost the next two matches as Sanderson went on to win the 84 kg spot on the USA World Team.
Another participant at the Minnesota tournament was former Antioch standout, Kenny Owens. At present, Owens is ranked third on the National Greco-Roman Team at 84 kg by virtue of his runner-up finish to Brad Vering in the Challenge Tournament at the World Team Trials. For the past nine years, Owens has placed in at least 15 international tournaments and almost twice that many national tournaments including five championships in the U.S. Armed Forces Tournament.
The Junior World Team Trials for the 20 and under age group held their National Championships in East Ridge, Tennessee last May. In freestyle, the "Most Falls" award went to Sean Stender and the "Outstanding Wrestler" award went to Zach Esposito. In Greco-Roman competition, Marco Lara won the "Most Falls' award and Matt Nagel won the "Outstanding Wrestler" award. As an indication of the success of this tournament, the Championships will return to the Chattanooga area in April of 2003 and in 2004.

Obviously a lot has happened in Tennessee Wrestling since last season. We take time to appreciate the accomplishments of the many who have contributed to the improvement of wrestling in our state, but we know this is a process. Now is the time for the next step. Bring on the 2002-2003 season.
