One of those was in Independence Missouri, where he placed third in his 10th grade 163 pound division. He spends his off-season wrestling, making the sport a year-round prac- tice. Because of this and his young introduc- tion to wrestling, Jacob has accumulated a lot of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven though he\u2019s a sophomore by age, he\u2019s probably one of our more senior members as far as experience,\u201d Jennings said. \u201cHe not only is a leader of our high school program, but he stays after and works with our youth club program and spends a lot of time helping our younger kids out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJacob coaches with the youth program every night they have practice,\u201d Barlow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/manchester\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/20220127_210642.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey respond really well to him. They see him as somewhere between a coach and a high school wrestler, and a big brother,\u201d Barlow said. \u201cHe is amazing with them \u2013 he\u2019s a very, very good coach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWrestling is different from other team sports,\u201d Jennings said, \u201cbecause while you do have a team, the individual matches are solo events.\u201d He said it teaches self perseverance and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you step out there on the mat, it\u2019s really just you out there,\u201d Jennings said. \u201cYou\u2019re all by yourself. You don\u2019t have any- body else to kind of blame or fall back on or anything like that, so you really have to be accountable for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrestling isn\u2019t just for guys in Coffee County. The wrestling team\u2019s first state med- alist was Alicean Stottlemyer, who at the time was on a girls team by herself. Since then two other female wrestlers have placed at state: Maryanne Walker and Alana Coker. Stottle- myer\u2019s older sister, Tori Fuerbacher, wrestled at Middle Tennessee State University and placed second in the NCWA Women\u2019s Na- tional Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Jacob has continued to have suc- cess, coach Barlow said it was certainly not on his own. One of the other wrestlers, Gavin Prater, had a record of 30 &#8211; 2 and would have been the team\u2019s first ever 4-year state qualifier had he not gotten injured be- fore the region tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s had really good partners all this time,\u201d Barlowsaid.\u201cAllthoseguysputinthetimeand put in the effort during the season, you know, and they make each other better.\u201d\u00a0<strong>-GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE COFFEE County Red Raider wrestling team had its first ever male state medalist at the Tennessee High School Wrestling Championship: sophomore Jacob Barlow. \u201cJacob has been wrestling since he was seven, with the Tullahoma youth program as well as the youth and high school programs in Manchester,\u201d said his coach and father, Roger Barlow.
