Trivia Answers:

1.) Brent Metcalf is our one and only 4 time state champion.
2.) Don Whitman is the only one that was not an A.D. for Davison. Walhberg is our A.D. now before him was Mr. Thurlow and before him was Dave Young.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

Yesterday we had a great practice. We are just so excited with the way the guys are working. We have such hard working group already and that really motivates us as coaches. Yesterday we watched Patrick Rooker and Justin Oliver go for 10 minutes with no one getting a take down. They both push the action and were dead tired but no one was going to give up a take down at any cost. That's impressive to watch and is very exciting. I even got in there yesterday and whooped on some kids but I'm paying for it today. Can't wait for Oxford, so we can see where we are.

I have been getting some question about how to post on this blog. I believe the answer is you must become a follower of this blog first. Once you become a follower you can then post on this blog and trash talk me!!

Tomorrow Practice at noon. I will make my coaching debute tomorrow during regular season. i had a great time up north Deer hunting  with my family at our new hunting camp. First time I was able to hunting with my family in the first time in six years. But now im back and excited as hell to get going.

As for Triva question number 1 most of you were correct. It was 2005, we had 4 state champions in 2005. One being myself, another being Mr. Metcalf, as well as Kyle Chittick, and John Reader.

As for Triva question number 2 I was the only one right. this one is a little more tickier then the others. Coach Hall is indeed the odd man out. The three of us wrestled for Indiana Unverisity. Hittle and Stevens wrestled for IU back in 1985 and 1986 if my memory serves me right, I obviously 2005-2010. Coach Hall on the other hand wrestled for our rival... Purdue!!!

Parents,
I just got an email from Ms. Duff about kids who can't practice without physicals. Please go and get your physical done by monday so they can compete.

Thank you,
Coach Perry

Triva Answers:

1) The brothers that didn't belong was as you all guessed it, the Phillip Brothers. The Streeter, Whitman, Metcalf, and Perry Brothers all wrestled with each other at the same time. In my opinion the reason that these brother were all so tuff was because they had each other to push one another. There is no better work out partner then your brother. Some of you may know but no one wants to be beat up by their brother and I for sure was not going to let my brother take me down.

2) As for weather we beat St. Eds... well we did. We beat them back in 2004 at Medina. We have never beat them in a dual format. besides our J.V. team who beat Ed's J.V. team back in 2002.

Also I would like for this Blog to be a little more interactive. It's pretty boring on here just reading my comments. Lets also get the word out there so we can have some what of a following.

So you parents know the guys have the next week off of work outs. We want to give the guys the next week to get rested, relax, and ready for season. This means we do not want them to lace up their wrestling shoes or step on the mat... ANYWHERE. We are giving them this time off to rest their minds and bodies but also to get their homework and school projects done. To get their grades up if they have to, suck up to their teachers, clean their rooms, do their laundry, do the dishes, break up with all non understanding girlfriends if need be. The goal is to get rid of all distractions and be ready to hit the ground sprinting. We have on 11 days, so lets get ready to go!!
