I Miss My Favorite Wrestler!



CBL 3A Coach of the Year--Rob Laggerquist










Not having Shea around this year has been difficult. I know I smothered and irritated him, but "dang it" that was my job. Without his surly disposition and evasive answers to even the most mundane and harmless questions, I feel lost--without a sense of purpose. Lil' D is too easy to boss around; whereas, Shea at times worked creatively to be disagreeable. Regardless, I really miss him. Not only did our team miss him, but on a personal level, coaching was not nearly as intense of an experience without him on the mat. He would have complimented this team of Seniors nicely and given us a winning record, as well as post-season hopes at 171lbs. This has been a great group of wrestlers. We knew 4 years ago that we would probably do fairly well.

"The Show" Nick Gautreaux doing what he does best: Dominate!











Ross "The Kung Fu Chicken" putting the hurt on his opponent.

Weston "The Freak" Green getting to the Subregional finals as a first year wrestler. He is truly a freak.


"The Banshee" Jace Elenich doing something spectacular and Irish (ie, crazy) to win.



We have big hopes for DJ "Crazy Legs" Stai next year.
