I totally agree with you coach. It is not too often that a kid can bounce back from such a life changing event, such as his handicap, but Earl Jones has. When it comes right down to it Jones has taken his handicap, which in some cases would turn kids away from wrestling, and has turned it into his own wrestling style. Way to go Jones.

Get em Babyjay. I totally agree with you. GS

i take my previous statement back. i meant no disrespect at all. it just seems like he would have a major strength advantage over his opponents. thats all i was saying. congrats to earl on everything he has accomplished.

wow chief, i wasnt talking about not giving him credit about being an awesome wrestler, what i was saying was that you people make it a point to stress that he has only one leg, i see a great wrestler not a handicapped individual, and for your information i am good friends with another wrestler who has one leg from SMNW and i have known him since the 3rd grade. i have personally seen earl wrestle and i was very much impressed.

hey mr. bogart sorry if you mistook what i was saying, and i would not say anything in the manner that you precieved it as

Tracy,

Is Earl Jones planning on wrestling in College?

Is he planning on wrestling at the Senior Nationals at the end of the year in Cleveland, Ohio?

I would love to see him wrestle in both, Bahe & McReynolds did well last year at the Senior Nationals and neither would be able to beat Earl.
I think it would be great to see him wrestle in them.

Earl Jones and Stewart Bogart have wrestled in more state championship matches than most of you people have ever thought about wrestling in plus matches against other people. Bogart is a very tough wrestler but Earl still beat him every time that they wrestled. as lama whatever the hell he has a strength andvantage because he worked to get it that way. He also won nationals before he lost his leg. so i'm pretty sure that he would be pretty good if he did have two legs.

i didn't mean to offend anyone by saying what i had said earlier. I think earl is awesome and i admire him for all that stuff you guys had said, so i take back my previous statement I was an aware he was that good before the accident. Once again i apoligize.

What about Shawn Drennan from Minneapolis?

Coachjt
Earl has had a few calls from John Smith at OSU and our coach has been sending applications all over the country. As far as i know that is how he is planning to pay for his college if ya know what i mean. About the Senior nationals, i don't quite know if he is wrestling in that. He should but i don't know if he will. That would be an excellent way to get recognized. Earl has the potential to be a NCAA national champ and to go undefeated in college. I would love to watch him wrestle in both also.
