Roane County High School

Raiders -- Wrestling


Roane County High School was formed as a consolidation of Spencer (AA) and Walton (A) in 1993. Roane has had a traditionally tough team, with perhaps it's deepest unfortunately coming when they were classified as AAA. Roane is going through a transition now, as legendary coach Garry Bender (AA coach of the year in '84, '88, and '90) and long-time wrestling coach Terry Kendall have stepped down.

The new coaches are Wayne Jarvis ('84) and Toby Ford ('91), former Spencer Middle School coaches and two of the many former AA state champions under Coach Bender. Roane will continue the tough work ethic and hard-nosed approach passed down by Coach Bender. Coach Jarvis has adjusted the schedule somewhat to try to bring the team to the forefront in 2007-08. An experienced team returns with some talented incoming freshmen.
