@ Mr. Davis: You are correct when you point out the fact that Aunt Pam (Mrs. Taylor) is a caring individual.
It is important everyone understands that the family that runs TOHK are life savers to some. No matter what any one person says, it was Coach Taylor that would be up at 5am to pick kids up for high school morning practice. I wasn’t the only one they helped along the way and want to say that I am grateful for everything! I can not thank TOHK enough for giving me direction at an early age. I remember times when Danny Deshazer and Bryant Richards first went to Labette and thinking to myself, one day i'm going to go to college.
I am the first in my immediate family to go to college, for my mother painted the picture with a belt many times. It was the family of TOHK that helped me stay away from gangs through wrestling. Have I made mistakes growing up, you better believe it. But I can count on one hand the people from my neighbor that graduated from college and we all wrestled for Coach Knox and Coach Taylor at one part of our lives.
Some of the comments that have been posted are meaningless unless you leave a name. You are scared to do so for you could no longer be phony in their faces. I feel sorry for you for there is nothing more small than a coward. You fear "them" for you are beneath the greatness of TOHK. I pray that you allow your hearts to forgive because none of us are perfect (ex: the previous sentence was kind of negative.) When you allow yourself to step back from the aggression of wrestling then maybe you can get to know the Taylor, Knox, Carter, and Deshazer families. Wrestling is a tough sport, GO HARD OR GO HOME....
And please stop pointing out all of our negatives. Last year I coached and officiated in the Greater Wichita area and can honestly say that TOHK is not the only team that has faults. I enjoyed this post Coach Knox, Love you! Tim
