I too hope Flo covers this, it's going to be awesome! This is the Mat Shark WC guy! My wife just dogged me out, "isn't it funny how Mat Sharks is getting so big and people barely know who you are?" That's how I want it too! We try to get the kids training with and under the best possible. This will not be a Mat Shark group though, several of these kids have worked with us, but not all. I am stoked about this tournament! I just started putting the team together 3 days ago and it is almost full, I am just waiting on 3 kids to confirm. When it is full I will post it so the hype can begin!

if this is the matshark guy than that oh team will be tough as all heck. reading the ca forum board looks like a great event brewing. all star teams from Mn, Oh, Mi, In, Fl, id, az,, nv. or, ny and about 18 ca all star teams including a dream team. Hope flo covers this

Earnie has again stepped up the game, he is helping me get an Ohio team to the America's Cup! There are challenges, there usually are, with graduations, proms, finals, NHSCA duals, only a month and a half to put it all together, and other things that weekend. We will put together some kids and go to war regardless, and none of it would be possible NUWAY & SCWAY didn't want to get the nation working together! More college programs, more competitions, more funding, more publicity for the sport... Thanks Dave Dean and Earnie, I will do my best to represent Ohio well at the America's Cup!

Opinions vary, that has always been true! I think most of us get it, we all just have different biases, obsticles, etc.

i wanted to see morgon mcintosh become a 4 time all american. i kept asking myself why he did not redshirt, i dont like that decision. glad to hear he is a team player and did it for points for penn state. to go up a weight in college at that high of a weight class is not good for him when he had a chance to do some damage with taking a red shirt year. i am sad for that. dont see david taylor doing that and would have hoped cael would have told him to redshirt and not use him the way i feel he did for points. it all stinks to me!!!

I get it just fine--we know what were up against which is why were trying to build some premier events out west. Were at a point where we need a change in teh system which is what were doing in CA -- as we direct our states finances and enrgize our base we can fund the programs we have and start or restart some old programs. Hard to do that when $1,000,000 a year heads to the freestyle movement and non is reinvested into folkstyle. That is the debate and challange we have in CA. I don't expect a ton of support from back east but a group here and there shows a little reciprocity. In addition just an FYI for 10k I could have brought 20 wrestlers to CA instead of spending 35k to bring 70 to PA--

Anonymous Coward 1 year ago

Ernie Ciaccio - you don't get it! Your 40,000+ wrestlers have no where to go BUT East to get noticed.

-
What is PATHETIC is the support western States give to wrestling. If CA had college outlets like PA & schools east, no dobut they would be at the top of AA year in & out. What is PATHTETIC is a state with 40,000 wrestlers has only TWO schools for D1 Wrestling.
No college wrestling in the Southeast, minimal in the Southwest & hanging by a thread out West. College wrestling today is the B10 and East coast schools.
As a TRUE wrestling fan, I hate the college trend. Select areas of the county with college wrestling. Sad.

Bryan 1 year ago

I have no respect for this man as a coach. He should've been kicked out of the gym multiple times for disrespecting the other coaches, wrestlers and starting a fight with another coach.

Ernie Ciaccio 1 year ago

Maybe being that CA makes up 12% of the NGB's operating budget will stay on our island and stop funding your boys olympic dreams and fund our athletes ourselves. Maybe will realize as a state that people think just like you and take our 40,000+ wrestlers which is about 15-16% of the nations total for granted. Maybe CA and other western states will put aside what is good for the sport and just think of themselves. Or just maybe will chalk you up for what you are--a guy who obviously has no skin in the game, no vision, and or no vested interest in building or growing anything. So you look at it like this-- a few decades down the road when you missed wrestling's funeral in the west because you were getting so much better wrestling yourselves and NCAA presidents start asking themselves why they are funding a sport that has no participation in the rest of the country and the save EAST COAST U WRESTLING chant begins--just remember your " Go ahead and thump your chest but NO ONE from the east coast will waste their money going out west to wrestle." as we reply GO POUND SAND.

CA Wrestling is tough will continue to mean jack squat w/o kids getting the chance to go in college. Winning a HS out of season tourney is should be your start, not the ultimate statement about CA wrestling.

. -
As far as East coast kids going to CA to wrestle - Not happening. Why should they? Cost is a huge factor and PA, NJ, NY, OH kids can bang on each other to get better. Go ahead and thump your chest but NO ONE from the east coast will waste their money going out west to wrestle.

Look at it like this, CA wrestles on an island. You come to the main land - east coast to wrestle & be heard. Once you go back to your island, no one will follow you except other CA guys.

Westside is Bestside! The sleeping giant is awake and HONGRY. With Coaches like this and SCWAY opportunities you can count on Cali being in the mix all day everyday. Glory be to God.

Like the post before, Cisneros had alot of close matches back in California. Cisneros beat Schutte at 5-Counties 2 to 1 in overtime and Schutte did not place at state. Ramirez from Elk Grove did not place at state at 132 this years also. Ramirez was a 2x state placer. If Villarreal had a day that he had at Flonationals, he to would have not placed at California state. He had the best day of his life when he beat Gasca and Cisneros in the last 10 seconds of those matches. Villarreal will come back strong next year. California came to wrestle, period. As for the comments aboout leaving 2/3 of the studs home, that is accurated. Demison won Senior Nationals at 138 lbs on the same weekend. We have some studs that where not state champions this year, including Cisneros. Left Coast baby Come to the American Cup PA . I am pretty sure Ernie can work something out or just sit on your sofa watching TV and tell everyone how great you guys are, kind of like Mayweather dodging Pacquiao.

Thank you Coach Harmon! Simply outstanding what you and the StJohn's Coaches pulled along with the master Ernie! GEt me so incredibly fired up for where we are going with CA wrestling! Parting words...Left Coast Wrestling, come and get some.....you know it..no one will.

Anonymous Coward 1 year ago

I like this guy. Wrestling needs coaches with this passion. Great for the sport. I'm from OH but i'll tell you, CA wrestling is STOUT!

What hurts CA wrestling is lack of college opportunty. Stanford & Cal-Poly only D1 programs in CA? I wish i could say i'm missing a program but i don't think so. Looking out West - Oregon & Oregon St., Wyoming, Boise St., Arizona St.
This is what hurts CA wrestling and Left Coast wrestling as a whole. Why does PA do so well in NCAA's? Yes it's a tough State & numbers every year show it's a tough State w/NCAA qualifiers & AA. But - Penn State, Pitt, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Penn, Leigh, Clarion... More D1 Schools in one state than West of the Rockies. I'd argue if CA kids had the opportunity like East coast kids, they would more than represent.
For the good of the sport, we need College wrestling to grow out West.

PA historically shows up with great all-star teams at Disney Duals and NHSCA Duals. Why? Because they guarantee the most matches for the dollar. It has been that way for years.

great 4 the sport

Cimato loss to Cisneros by two big deal Cisneros has alot of close wins, there was guys who didn't place at state who loss to Cisneros by a point or two, maybe you should get your facts straight and stop bashing California because were catching Pennsylvania pretty soon and it's not that California is getting better it's just that they've always been good but were so underrated.

Outstanding interview! I am now a fan of Jacob Harmon. Also, it seems to me that CA stepping up the level of wrestling is GOOD for wrestling as a whole. Peace!

Mark Morris 1 year ago

Great interview - This coach is very well spoken and seems to have a great attitude. Doing great things with CA wrestling - Keep it up.
I love the attitude he has about having talented kids to coach. I am sure they feel the same way about him as a coach.
Good Stuff -

No need to get defensive. CA has a bunch of great wrestlers. (Not as many as PA though). I don't think that all of the other good kids from other states were at home playing wii. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with money..not sure how all the CA kids afforded it. For example, Glasso (5th PA states) beats Villarreal state champ and Cimato loses to Cisneros in OT..just 2 examples. I rest my case
