I was supposed to post this video last night but all I wanted to do was go to bed. Cutting weight is definitely starting to get harder. So Monday I was 119, as of mid day Thursday I was 114. Sure, people can say cutting five pounds is easy, but I find the hardest part is not putting it right back on. I was really happy with yesterday into this morning. I finished my morning workouts and decided to give my body a rest last night, so I was more careful about what I ate. Thursday's meals: yogurt before bike/run… more »

I am new to the wrestling scene. I hope to learn more over the next couple of days. more »

Last night wasn't the way any coach or wrestler wants to end the team portion of the season. The way our guys wrestled against Byron Center will haunt me until the second week in November, months and months from now. It will be the reason I get up early every day and all the motivation I need as a coach to work harder, dig deeper and stay later...Nonetheless, after letting last nights' disappointment distill, I have to remind myself to take stock of the blessings of this season. Our win against Caledonia could've been a movie script. The drama, heart… more »

I've worked for 12 years and it all culminated last Saturday night into finally winning the state championship. I beat a really good opponent, Evan Baker from Scotland County, a senior, and won the 4A 160 lb. State Championship. It was a great feeling. My team won its 20th State Championship, so I have been on 6 consecutive State Championship teams at Cary now (3 dual team and 3 individual state championships). Coach Winterton was really happy! Now I'm totally concentrated on Junior Nationals, took one day off, and got back into the saddle at Arrichion. I know Ty, Anthony,… more »

I started wrestling at 7 years old for Wayne Yingst at Hamilton. I wrestled Junior High for Jack McCutcheon at ETC. I wrestled HS at EC for Beau Slemaker and Tony Speer. I wrestled in college for NCAA Champ Bill "Beets" Dotson at the University of New Mexico! I won Tulsa Nationals 5 Times as a youth wrestler, I was 3-3-2 at State in JH and I was 3-3-2 at State in HS. In college I was a 2x WAC Champ and a NCAA D1 All American at 126 lbs in 1990! I have currently coached at EC since 1994!… more »

Passed the test so far, league champs and district champs, regionals tonight. 32-1 the team needs 2 wins tonight for the chance at States. more »

I have never been more proud of our athletes than yesterday. You can talk about winning tournaments and winning state medals and how honorable that is. What our kids did yesterday is beyond that. We had a member or our wrestling community pass away on Friday night. This member just so happened to be one of our young mans mom. The support and respect our team brought to their teammate and past wrestlers in the family was amazing. What a great support system. This is the true meaning of team. more »

This year might i have not ended with me at states, but i accomplished my goals and more. My first goal was to have a 30-10 or better record and i exceded this with a 35-10 record. Secondly I made it to the Texas Region 3 Tournament. I might have went 1-2, but i still have 2 years to improve greatly. Now its time for the extra, I acheived having the best record on the team and also being the only sophomore to qualify for the regional tournament. A good year? No a great year considering God really put me… more »

There’s an experiment going on in wrestling. It’s going on quietly in a corner of the world not particularly known for it’s wrestling. The hypothesis was that an exceptional high school wrestling coach can be an exceptional Division I collegiate coach. The first experiment begun at Old Dominion University 5 years ago. Steve Martin, the offspring of the legendary wrestling family in the Virginia Beach area, was the don of Great Bridge High School and led the program to the nation’s elite. The second experiment began coincidentally in the same state. Three years ago Virginia Tech hired Kevin Dresser of… more »

The key is to stay focused and not get caught up in all the hoopla surrounding the state tournament. Our mindset has to be that we are going to Omaha to win matches and bring home medals. We can't be satisfied with simply making it there. -Travis McIntosh: Travis is set to make his second trip to the state tournament where he finished with a 1-2 record last year. He is wrestling with a lot of confidence and if he can stay focused, has a good shot to come home with a medal.-Jesse Browne: The district tournament was the first… more »

In the depths of the Holland locker room on January 7th, we were faced with a decision: Wrestle with character or resign ourselves to mediocrity and complacency. The team was quiet as the coaching staff made their entrance into the locker room. Seated against the walls of the drab and ill-lit dungeon, the Rangers could only imagine the burst of retribution they were about to receive. Instead, in very measured tones and whispers, the coaching staff delivered a requiem of our expectations. On the FHC Wrestling coaching staff, we take practice and competition very seriously. Not because of wins or… more »

With a chance at 9 with one round to go, we lost 3 very close matches in the blood and guts round to finish 5th as a team with 6 qualifiers. 1st round match-ups coming soon. more »

A few days before, Matt had his talk with Spencer as Spencer’s mom watched silently at the back of his dark and quiet hospital room. Matt had been trying to put together the words that would prepare his son for what was to come. How can a father explain death, life, love, girls, growing up and tell a son so many important things in just a few moments? They talked about God, and heaven, about trying his best, and being honest, and about being a man. They talked about being good for his mother and remembering that dad is proud… more »

Leagues is apon us. The thrill of it, the expectations built all season long. The team is here. As a famous fella once said, " It's about where the rubber hits the Road."

New Planets & an Unknown Object Discovered Beyond the Solar System David Latham -Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Sponsored By: Fort Myers Locksmith As astronomers become more adept at hunting for, and finding, exoplanets orbiting stars beyond the Solar System, international astronomers have figured out just what we should be looking for using the increasingly sophisticated technologies being developed. Two exoplanets and an unknown celestial object, findings of the European Space Agency's COROT mission, an important stepping stones in the European effort to find habitable, Earth-like planets around other stars. These discoveries mean that the mission has now found a total… more »

Last night was my second friendship tournament. I wrestled 4 matches and I am convinced that I lost 2 of them even though my hand was raised everytime. I had to wrestle some really strong kids, so I had to work really hard. I learnd a lot though and I can't wait to get back to practice on Monday and learn some new moves to use. more »

It comes down to beating those that youa re suppose to, maybe winning a match you shouldn't and not allowing mother nature to change your plans. Friday is suppose to bring the biggest snow yet this winter. All the seeds are in all mats are cleaned, everyone just has to get there now more »

The anticipation of conference rivalries like Iowa State/Nebraska, Ohio State/Michigan, Iowa/Penn State or even Ithaca College/Cortland State begins to shorten the road toward the post-season and tournament championships. Soon, the questions that everyone will begin to wonder will be answered….Will they win it again? Can he repeat? Did he qualify? I am excited that I will be able to see some great matches over the next several weeks. We start out with the NYS Section IV Championships on February 20 & 21, in Binghamton, NY. This is the qualifying tournament student-athletes must compete in to get to the NYS Championships.Waverly… more »

I have some sets of custom singlets I am looking to unload. 14 custom singlets (Brute Viper) that are Red/Black/White. They have a full-chest screen print that we can cover with another print. These are brand new and still packaged. They originally sold for $49.20 each, but I am willing to sell them (with a screen print) for $16.00ea. Call for sizes I also have; a set of 19 Cliff Keen singlets that have two prints on them. One can not be covered (a full back skull/cross bones), the left leg print can be covered with something else. I'll let… more »

District Recap The following is a recap of Saturday’s District 27 Championship tournament that Diane Newberry has submitted to the West Austin News for publication in this Friday’s edition!

Thought we wrestled well this weekend at confernce. We were without Jesse and Thomas which probably gives us an extra 30 points, but at this time in the year, we need to be healthly, so thye'll try this week. Travis and Ryan were conference champs, and Curtis was runner-up. This weekend is what we have been working for all year long, motto becomes 7 or 4. more »

If Grand Island comes next year the Skutt tournament will get tougher, until that does happen, we need to continually get better in order to compete at a higher level. Weaknesses exposed, injury bug arrival and getting back to the basics are thing that are on the plate right now to take care of. get away from our wrestling a little bit, the boys had a great time at UNO vs. UNK on saturday. We went out to eat and then headed over to the dual. I think I converted a few guys to be lopers, but not all. Many… more »
