Davis said Monday that more than 40 students in grades eight through 12 have turned out for the practices that began Thursday. \u201cWe hope to fill at 14 weights and if we get enough girls, fill the 12 weights to field a full team there,\u201d Davis said noting that seven girls have currently come out for the team. Davis said while the wrestlers have begun learning the basics, they are still awaiting the arrival of mats and uniforms and to finalize the required paperwork with the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. \u201cWe are going to practice over Christmas break,\u201d Davis said. \u201cHopefully, as soon as we get back from Christmas, we can at least start doing something.\u201d There is competition to be found in the area. In addition to Whitley County, Knox Central, McCreary Central, Bell County, Wayne County, Madison Central and Madison Southern compete in wrestling, even if they don\u2019t all field full teams. \u201cNorth and South (Laurel) are also talking about adding it,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt is getting there.\u201d Davis said while his wrestlers are short on experience, they are high on enthusiasm for the sport and are excited to learn. \u201cWe might take our lumps this year, but in two or three years this could be a pretty good little program,\u201d Davis said. Davis does bring experience on the mat to the program. He wrestled at Granby High School in Norfolk, Virginia, and coached at Whitley County for several years. \u201cI feel that Corbin has the kids to be successful,\u201d Davis said. Davis is joined by assistant coaches Leigh Ann Walden and Jason Jones. They both have Jujitsu and martial arts backgrounds,\u201d Davis said."}
