Better late then never and I apologize, but as you all know, the time of the season is keeping us all very busy.  I just wanted to give my review of this past weekend. All in all I am, along with the rest of the coaching staff  very impressed with the way the team responded at the County meet. To be honest the team as whole (varsity, B- team, and J.V,) all wrestled beyond my expectations. Not only did we do better then we have in the past three years but our B team stepped up and beat up on some guys. Just a few matches that stand out in my mind is Jacob Beaver losing 12-2 with 7 seconds left and pinning his kids. As well as  Vinny Stefanko's impressive win in the first match against the number 3 seeded kid from Birch Run. I can go on and on with matches but we were all there and we all saw the great matches. With all that said, it was a great weekend to see where we stand and the growth that we have made this season thus far. This weekend was a great indication to see how much more we are capable of. We have a lot of room for improvement and it's nice to see we are on the right track. We are finally starting to buy into the system and with time I hope that we will be ready to respond when the right time comes.
With that all said, coach Bob and I have been talking and he might be upset with me letting the cat out of the bag so early but I'm just too excited. Coach Bob has had a great idea and a Vision that will take the County meet to a new level. He has the idea and the rest of the Coaching staff agrees with him that next year we want to step up the ante. With cooperation of the athletic department and the school we hope that next year we can invite 32 of the top elite teams from Michigan and Ohio to come and participate in the new Michigan Elite 32 wrestling tournament. We invite the best to come weigh in shoulder to shoulder on Friday mid afternoon next year. We then will wrestle two rounds of championships and a round of consolations. After that we will come back on Sat. and finish up the tournament. We want this tournament to be a tournament that people beg to come to. Again it is not final but hopefully next week we can get the go ahead. Look forward to it and hope you all have a merry Christmas.

Trevor.
