Parkersburg South enters the 2009-10 campaign with 2009 Rod Oldham Award Winner Paul
Jackson back at the helm for the fourth year. Jackson was Head Coach at South from
1990-97. During Jackson's previous tenure his teams went 132-26, won
five state titles, and Jackson received Coach of the Year honors on
four occasions. The 1995 team finished the year ranked 20th in the
nation and set several state tournament records, including
placing wrestlers in eleven of thirteen championship finals. Jackson
was named NWCA Region 2 Coach of the Year in 1996-97.
The Patriots look to defend their state title with the help of returning state champions Tyler Green (sr.) and David Jeffrey (soph.) and returning state runner-up Bo Cooper (sr.). Also returning will be state tournament qualifiers Jake Fordyce (soph.), Caleb Norman (soph.), Jeremy Corbitt (sr.) and Chris Smith (jr.), along with a strong nucleus of underclassmen who gained valuable experience last year as reserves wrestling a full schedule against varsity competition. In addition, a talented freshmen class will add depth to the South lineup.
South earned the title of 2009 OVAC Dual Meet Champions and hope to add a conference tournament title to their list of OVAC accolades as they make their conference tournament debut in 2010.
Team motto: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."
