Add in Woodford County usually has a Top 5 ranked wrestling team year in and year out. They have more individual state champions and team state championships in wrestling than any other school in the state.


Its not a coincidence that Johnson Central's football team & Johnson County's Middle school teams have hit another level since the majority of starters are on the wrestling team.
For example, last years JC football team had seven starters place in the state wrestling tournament. #WrestlingBuildsFootball

Wrestling builds linemen. Not football players in general. Ever watch lifelong wrestlers run sprints? Generally their stride is shortened significantly. They develop great burst explosiveness, but its very different type of athleticism. I think fast twitch athletes need to be very careful about wrestling. Work extra hours on speed, agility and sprinting form during the wrestling season. Every DT and OL should be encouraged to wrestle if not participating in other spring sports. Mayfield kids almost never wrestle. They have 12 state titles in football.
