Editor,s Notes& Announcements: The date of the Milt Sherman Duals Tournament at D.H. Conley has been moved to Thurs. Dec. 22. Coach Heggie named last year,s event in honor of long-time Coach Sherman who was inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame earlier this year. The large annual CaryNews tournament, usually held at that time has been cancelled for this year due to school construction. We are inviting those teams to join us in Greenville. Review the Looking for Teams for Tournaments, section and note the updates and events. Also note the fall wrestling clinics scheduled and take advantage of these. We are a bit early in sending this out (for a change) and will send an extra issue early next week. Next week will be the true World Championships of Wrestling held in Budapest, Hungary which a bit east of our coverage area yet want to mention that it can be viewed on the Internet TV at <http://www.wcsn.com/>http://www.WCSN.com.
Send news, results, & articles on-line to us.
Until later, Martin Fleming, Editor

Jimmy McNamara named the Lee Carroll Award Winner Sept. 16th, 2005
State Qualifier Jimmy McNamara of Wilson Hunt High School was presented the good sportsmanship award for scholastic wrestling in the Tri-Counties, of Edgecombe, Nash and Wilson, at halftime of the home football game with Southern Nash. Lee Carroll and TakeDown Report Editor Martin Fleming presented the award to Jimmy.
Jimmy was named on the TDR Tri-County First Team. He has been included on the TDR Top 12 rankings the past three years. These rankings recognize the Top 12 wrestlers in each weight in eastern North Carolina and are commemorated on distinctive TDR shirts. Jimmy is now a freshman at U.N.C.-Wilmington University.
Lee Carroll started wrestling his sophomore year when Tarboro High School restarted the sport in 1992 with Butch Sadler as his coach. Lee won 112 matches in just 3 years with the Vikings. Lee was state runner-up his junior year before becoming a record setting undefeated state champion in 1995 with a (50-0) record. Lee went on to start four years at North Carolina State qualifying for the Nationals 3 times. After graduation Lee has worked in the field of computer assisted graphics and architecture in Raleigh.
The TakeDown Report sponsors the Award. The award has been named to recognize the best example of good sportsmanship by a scholastic wrestler in the Tri-Counties of Edgecombe-Nash-Wilson. It encourages the young men from the teams in the area with another opportunity for others to realize the hard work, determination and discipline it takes to be a top notch wrestler.
Rob Hermann,s N.C Fall Wrestling Clinic will be in Raleigh/Durham at Cardinal Gibbons H.S. with Coach Stan Chambers on Saturday October 1st at 9:00 till 4:00. Coach Chambers cell # is (919) 606-6793 H- (919) 303-5745 with Coach Rob Hermann 1996-2000 Olympic Coach

NFHS reports girls high school wrestling growth in 2004-05,
as well as state-by-state statistics for boys and girls 9/19/2005
By Gary Abbott/USA Wrestling
The National Federation of High School Associations has released
information that indicates that girls high school wrestling continues
to grow. In the 2004-05 season, there were 4,334 high school
girls competing in wrestling, according the the NFHS survey. This
is an increase of 328 girl wrestlers from the previous year. It
marked the 15th straight year that the number of girls competing
in wrestling has grown on the high school level. In addition,
the survey noted that there were 941 high schools that had girls
on their wrestling team in 2004-05, an increase of 133 teams from
the previous season. USA Wrestling believes that there are actually
more than 5,000 girls in high school programs, because a total
of 19 states did not report any girls. Most of those states have
girl wrestlers in high school who are competing in USA Wrestling
programs, and have not been counted by the NFHS. Last week, the
NFHS released its survey results, but did not provide specific
information on all sports. In the initial release, the statistics
indicated that boys wrestling grew during the 2004-05 season,
both in terms of number of teams and number of athletes. For
information on boys high school wrestling, visit the following

On Friday September 9th, the East Carteret Mariners accepted the TDR Mat Challenge to start a wrestling program. A donation was made during halftime of their home football game with Croatan High School. TakeDown Report Editor Martin Fleming presented a check to Athletic Director George Burbella and Principal Ralph Holloway for support of the new wrestling team. Jim Mason will be coaching the new squad this season.
The TakeDown Report challenges high schools in eastern North Carolina that do not have a wrestling team to start a program. To each school the TakeDown Report will donate $300 towards the purchase of a new mat. Four schools in eastern North Carolina started wrestling in the 2003-2005 seasons. At least three more will add it this year. The TDR is joined by the National High School Coaches Association Outfitters, Action Mats and Ken Chertow Gold Medal Training Camp in supporting the teams with support. This will spark broader wrestling opportunities in eastern North Carolina. The TDR is in its, 13th year (9th year in North Carolina) of publication and promotions for wrestling. The TDR seeks to improve students and communities by the lessons learned in amateur wrestling. This extra-curricular activity often helps those students who are most at-risk., Students who are hands-on learners often wrestle, and it motivates them in school. Wrestling provides educational opportunities equally it doesn,t discriminate based on size, height, ability, gender, race or disability. A high school team can present opportunities for 14 varsity starters and a school does not have to fill all weight classes to field a team. Wrestling is a great opportunity for students. America needs wrestling for the hard work, discipline and fundamental character strengths it develops.
Rob Hermann,s N.C Fall Wrestling Clinic will be in Raleigh/Durham at Cardinal Gibbons H.S. with Coach Stan Chambers on Saturday October 1st at 9:00 till 4:00. Coach Chambers cell # is (919) 606-6793 H- (919) 303-5745 with Coach Rob Hermann 1996-2000 Olympic Coach

Tar Heel Wrestlers enjoy Summer Trip to Olympic Training Center
The UNC wrestling team spent ten days training with coaches and wrestlers in Colorado Springs Sept. 10, 2005
Chapel Hill, N.C. - The North Carolina wrestling team took its first step toward another ACC Championship and strong NCAA showing this summer when several of the returning Tar Heels spent ten days training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Under the guidance of assistant coach Glenn Lanham the team spent each day learning how the world's best wrestlers prepare for competition. "They got to see every aspect of what it takes to be a champion," says Lanham. "From eating right, to training, to lifting, and even just seeing how those guys socialize and live, they got to see it all."
Among those who attended the summer training session were senior All-America <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/sola_evan00.html>Evan Sola and two-time ACC Champion <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/dashiell_david00.html>David Dashiell. Also in attendance were Carolina wrestlers <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/ramos_chris00.html>Chris Ramos, <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/dobies_justin00.html>Justin Dobies, Vincent and Phillip Ramirez, <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/llamas_daniel00.html>Daniel Llamas, <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/royer_jared00.html>Jared Royer, <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/baglio_brian00.html>Brian Baglio, and Bobby Shaw. For the Tar Heels a typical day at the Olympic Training Center consisted of two training sessions with world-class coaches and Olympic wrestlers, one lifting session, and meals prepared by some of the top sports nutritionists in the country. "It was good for the guys to see how strict the Olympians are with their diets," says Lanham. "They're careful with looking at how everything is labeled. They want to see how many calories, how much sodium, and the overall nutritional content of each meal." Carolina wrestlers enjoyed the chance to learn from Olympic developmental coaches like resident freestyle coach Terry Brands. A few wrestlers, including <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/ramos_chris00.html>Chris Ramos, also had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Head Olympic Freestyle Coach Kevin Jackson. "You always hear about these coaches and how intense they are," says ACC Champion <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/sola_evan00.html>Evan Sola. "It was definitely interesting to get some experience under those big names." On top of the first-rate coaching, several Tar Heels had the opportunity to wrestle against the top wrestlers in the United States, including Tony Deanda and U.S. National Freestyle Champions Muhammed Lawal (84 kg) and Daniel Cormier (96 kg). Several Carolina wrestlers noted that the intensity level at the facility taught them more than anything. "There's no messing around out there," says junior Bobby Shaw. "The focus and intensity were impressive. Even when we played dodgeball or basketball all the Olympians took everything so seriously." While the training experience and intensity in Colorado may have differed from the team's training in Chapel Hill, senior <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/mtt/sola_evan00.html>Evan Sola notes that there were certainly some similarities. "I was surprised at how close our program was to some of the top programs that you always hear about," says Sola. "Our coaches teach the same good technique and go over a lot of the same stuff that the top wrestlers in the country do. We're right there with the best." The timing of the trip set the tone for an intense preseason, in which the team hopes to carry over the work-ethic and dedication that they experienced in Colorado. When asked about the upcoming season and their expectations heading into 2005-2006 each wrestler had a similar answer; ACC Championship and Top Ten National Ranking. The trip to Colorado not only sharpened the focus of UNC wrestlers, but gave the team a good chance to bond, which is why coach Glenn Lanham hopes to make it a summer tradition. <http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/091005aaa.html>http://tarheelblue.collegesports.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/091005aaa.html
UNCP to Host Motivational Speaker and Wrestler Kyle Maynard
Pembroke, NC The University of North Carolina at Pembroke Givens Performing Arts Center will host Kyle Maynard, a handicapped wrestler, on Wednesday, September 28 at 7:00 pm, which will be followed by a question and answer session. Maynard, a 2004 ESPY Award winner for Best Athlete with a Disability given out by ESPN, was born with a condition know as congenital amputation that has left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end at his knees. Even with his disability, Maynard has been wrestling since the age of 12. His accomplishments roam far beyond the wrestling mat. He continues to do everyday tasks even with his disability, including typing 50 words per minute with just his elbow and write without any adaptations. Maynard can even drive a car that has little modification. In November of 2003, Maynard, an avid weight trainer, attained the unofficial title of the Worlds Strongest Teen at the GNC Show-of-Strength by doing 23 repetitions of 230 pounds. He recently set the World Record in the modified bench press at the Arnold Fitness Classic with a bench press of 360 pounds. A recipient of the 2004 Presidents Award for the Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame, Maynard has appeared on ABC, CNN, HBO, Spike TV, countless local and regional shows and his story has been told in many newspapers and magazines, including ESPN The Magazine as he was named to the top 100 sports personalities, moments, trends, games and stories that mattered in 2004. His inspirational life story continues to inspire with his book, No Execuses! and a movie that will feature Jim Caviezel and Maynard as himself. Maynard, a student at the University of Georgia, is still wrestling today and plans to open a fitness center and motivate people to stay fit. He gives most of the credit from his triumphs to his faith, his parents, Scott and Anita, and his coach, Cliff Ramos.
The Washington Speakers Bureau contributed to this article. More information on Kyle Maynard can be found at <http://www.kmaynard.com/>www.kmaynard.com <http://www.uncp.edu/athletics/wrestling/05-06/News/kyle_maynard.htm>http://www.uncp.edu/athletics/wrestling/05-06/News/kyle_maynard.htm

World Championship wrestler Katie Downing
By Kelli McFarland // USOC Media Services // September 7, 2005 Visit <http://www.themat.com>USA Wrestling
A pioneer in women's wrestling, Katie Downing (Pendleton, Ind.) proves that the male-dominated sport isn't just for the boys. "In the beginning, my coaches tried to work me hard enough to make me quit," said Downing. "I grew up in judo; all the boys I had trained with in judo went out for wrestling, so I decided to try it too. It was natural to me. To everyone else, it wasn't so normal. There were concerns about the close physical contact, many parents were concerned because their sons weren't raised to hurt girls and others had concerns that I was there just to be around the boys." If only they could see her now. Rest of story at <http://www.usolympicteam.com/11652_38459.htm>http://www.usolympicteam.com/11652_38459.htm

Martin,
It is with much sadness that I am reporting to you that Chase
Metcalf, five time national freestyle - greco champion (Brent's
brother) died in an automobile accident last night. Chase graduated
from Davison high school in Michigan as a four time state champion.
He was a senior national champion defeating the only four-time
California state champion, Darrell Vasquez. Chase, along with
his brother had been to North Carolina two times to do clinics
at Jack Britt high school. My guys really got attached to the
Metcalfs and the Davison wrestling team, and their unique "In
your face" style of wrestling. Our sympathy goes out to the
Davison team and coach Roy Hall. We will miss him deeply!

Dear Coaches,
Due to a few unforeseen circumstances, the NHSCA has decided to postpone the Sunshine Invitational, set for Brandon High School, until the 8th and 9th of December in 2006. While we regret the postponement, the NHSCA feels that with an additional year to prepare and promote it, the event will become a mainstay in our yearly scheduling.
Please review your current schedules and contact our Offices as soon as you find out if this event will coincide with your future scheduling and can participate in the event. The NHSCA thanks you for your cooperation, understanding and support with this sudden change of events. We also wish you the best with the coming season. Should you have a question or concern regarding the 2005-06 Calendar of events, feel free to contact us at any time.
Sincerely yours

Old School RPW Written by Staff Writer, RPW Home Office
Doug Schwab, Sammie Henson, Tolly Thompson. Those are among
the many names that will go down in the history of Real Pro Wrestling
among the pioneers of the new league of superheroes. But what
if Real Pro Wrestling, like the NFL, NBA, or MLB, had a deep history?
What if it had a Joe Montana, a Wilt Chamberlain or Mickey Mantle,
someone who has endured success in the past and could be a measuring
stick of which to compare future greatness? Who would the stars
have been? When it comes to the history of wrestling Mike Chapman
is a walking encyclopedia. If it happened in the sport, Chapman
can probably tell you about it. The founder of Wrestling International
News magazine and executive director of the International Wrestling
Institute and Museum in Newton, Iowa rattles off a long list of
wrestling greats when pondering that thought. In the 1960,s it
could have been Olympian Doug Blubaugh. In the 1970,s the mammoth
Chris Taylor, the brother,s Peterson Ben and John, Wild Wayne
Wells, and the man himself, Dan Gable, would have shined, says
Chapman. In The 1980,s, the Banach twins, Ed and Lou, or maybe
Randy Lewis. Perhaps the Schultz brothers, Mark and Dave. The
1990,s could have included another set of brothers, Tom and Terry
Brands, big bad Bruce Baumgartner, and Olympic and World great
John Smith. "It would have been a great, talented group,
says Chapman, who has written over 500 columns on the sport of
wrestling. "It would have been neat to see these guys have
an opportunity like they have with Real Pro Wrestling. They never
had that opportunity. Until now, there wasn,t a league like RPW.
There wasn,t a chance to wrestle professionally (unless you,re
talking about the fake stuff), and there were also strict rules
in place about athletes accepting money. Back then, it was a big
no-no, and any money received for competing in a league like RPW
would have ended amateur status. "If I was offered the opportunity
back then I would have loved to have the chance, says Mark Churella,
who won NCAA titles in 1977, 1978 and 1979 for the University
of Michigan. "But the rules, the way they were set up then,
didn,t allow it. If you accepted a dime you risked being ineligible.
Like Churella, Lee Roy Smith, a World silver medalist, NCAA champion
and three-time All-American at Oklahoma State who is now the Executive
Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater,
Oklahoma, believes many of his wrestling and coaching colleagues
would have competed as long as it did not jeopardize their Olympic
training and competition goals, educational and career pursuits.
Smith says guys that could have mastered the RPW style and rules
are Andre Metzger, Nate Carr, Andy Rein, Mark Schultz, Bill Scherr
and Greg Gibson. Others Smith said he would have liked to see
include Gene Mills, Dave Schultz, and Baumgartner. As for the
style of wrestling Shelby Wilson, who won a gold medal at the
1960 Olympics and was a member of two national championship teams
at Oklahoma State, didn,t mention names, but did offer some opinions
on how collegiate wrestling can benefit from the style of Real
Pro Wrestling. "The wrestlers in college today seem to spend
more time in what I call stalling positions, than in time trying
to outsmart the other guy, says Wilson. "I am a firm believer
that most of the wrestling should be done in the middle of the
mat and when a fella runs off the mat or stalls in any way he
should be penalized for his actionsthe RPW rules could really
do some good for our college wrestling if we had some officials
who would enforce the rules. As a rule, the cream rises to the
top and those wrestlers who were on top in college and would go
on to make World and Olympic Teams, are the same individuals who
would have excelled at RPW, said Smith. "Occasionally, there
have been exceptions to this rule, he said. "You know, those
wrestlers who never reached the pinnacle of college wrestling,
like a Lloyd Keaser, Jim Humphrey, John Peterson or Jamill Kelly,
yet eventually reached the top of the food chain by earning medals
in world and Olympic competition, could have equally succeeded
in RPW. Oh what could have been. Wrestlers of the past are left
to only wonder what could have been. Today,s wrestler can now
dream about what will be. "It,s a great opportunity to have,
says Chapman. "Something these guys would have loved to do
I am sure. Real Pro Wrestling is heading overseas, sort of. When
the World Championships take place Sept. 26-Oct. 2 in Budapest,
Hungry, the United States freestyle and Greco-Roman teams will
consist of a who,s who of Real Pro Wrestling standouts. Competing
for world championships will be RPW competitors Sammie Henson
of the Pennsylvania Hammer (55kg), Chris Bono of the Chicago Groove
(66kg), Joe Williams of the Chicago Groove (74kg), Mo Lawal of
the Oklahoma Slam (84kg), Daniel Cormier of the Oklahoma Slam
(96kg) and Tolly Thompson of the California Claw (120 kg). The
U.S. Greco-Roman team consists of Lindsay Durlacher of the Chicago
Groove (55kg), Joe Warren of the Oklahoma Slam (60kg), T.C. Dantzler
of the Minnesota Freeze (74kg) and Brad Vering of the New York
Outrage (84kg). Six of the eight RPW teams will be represented
in Budapest. Only the Iowa Stalkers who ironically won the RPW
inaugural season team championship, and the Texas Shooters, won,t
have a representative from Season I at the World Championships.
However, the Stalkers and Shooters each had representatives who
made a strong run at a bid on the World Team at the Trials in
Ames in June. Henson defeated Eric Akin of the Texas Shooters
to win at 55kg, while Lawal defeated rival Lee Fullhart of the
Iowa Stalkers at 84kg. Other World Team Trials freestyle runner-ups
who competed in RPW Season I are Jared Lawrence of the Minnesota
Freeze (66kg), and Nick Preston of the Pennsylvania Hammer (96kg).
Darryl Christian of the California Claw finished runner-up to
Dantzler in Greco-Roman at 74kg. Cormier, Williams, and Vering
were all members of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team that competed in
Athens, Greece. Henson, who was named fan favorite in a poll conducted
on RealProWrestling.com and a 2000 Olympic silver medalist will
be the elder statesman for the U.S. Contingent in Budapest. The
34-year-old Henson, who won a World Championship in 1998, defeated
Akin, another 34-year-old. Henson heads to Budapest competing
in a weight class loaded with past World Champions. Bono, a veteran
of many international competitions and an assistant coach at Iowa
State, heads to his first World Championships. Bono is a two-time
World Team member, however, and has been in big events before.
Williams heads to Budapest seeking his first world title. The
three-time NCAA champ from Iowa placed fifth at the 2004 Olympics.
Williams was also third at the 2001 World Championships. Lawal
is the wildcard in the U.S. contingent. He,s explosive, energetic,
and powerful. He is one of the most athletic wrestlers in the
world, but he lacks international experience. Still, Lawal is
on a role this year he also won the U.S. Open in April along with
his RPW title, so nothing he does should surprise wrestling fans.
Cormier heads to Budapest with a burning passion to earn a medal.
He lost in the Bronze medal match at the 2004 Olympics, and has
placed fourth and fifth in two previous world-level events. Thompson
is making his first appearance on the World Team, and is an example
of hard work and perseverance. While he is new to the World Championships,
he is wrestling as well as ever, and has faced numerous top challengers
in his weight class at various international events throughout
his career. Durlacher is competing in his first World Championships,
and in a weight class that was full of surprises in the 2004 Olympics.
While others have more experience, Durlacher could be a strong
contender for a medal at this weight class. Like Thompson, Warren
has persevered behind veteran standouts like Dennis Hall and Jim
Gruenwald to make his first World Team this fall. Warren is competing
in a weight class loaded with talent, and many international veterans,
so he will have his work cut out for him. Dantzler heads to his
third World Championships, and is looking to earn his first medal
after not placing the previous two seasons. In Ames at the World
Team Trials, Dantzler said the new rule changes by FILA, the international
governing body of wrestling, really helped his style, and he enters
the Worlds extremely confident. Vering placed fifth in the World
Championships in 2002 and 2003, but did not place at the 2004
Olympics. However, he has been wrestling as well as ever and should
be in top form in Budapest. For more information on the 2005 World

Dear CSTV.com Newsletter Subscriber,
As the father of four teenage boys who play hockey and lacrosse, I was ecstatic when I first heard about <http://webservices.collegesports.com/wsemail/?arg=239757.2W9ZtOm6IkJ92G8M>CSTV: College Sports Television. For years I've preferred college sports to pro sports, and finally, here comes a channel that shows college sports besides just football and basketball (not to mention the fact that I'm getting sick of <http://webservices.collegesports.com/wsemail/?arg=239758.2W9ZtOm6IkJ92G8M>ESPN trying to convince me that poker is a sport). As CSTV says in its literature, "it's the first television channel devoted to the sports that are played for the love of the game, not just for the love or pursuit of the money. It's the first network programmed as much for the athlete as it is for the fan-with shows featuring the best coaches, advice, training, and tips across the broadest range of men's and women's sports. It's the first network devoted to showing the best games, rivalries, and championships, all season long. It's the first network with programming for high-school student-athletes, designed to improve their skills and to increase their chances of a successful college sports experience. CSTV shows more women's sports than any other network." I've always encouraged my kids to stay involved with sports as much for the values they teach, as for the competition and physical health benefits. A few years ago, we began to follow college hockey and college lacrosse, and often talked about how disappointing it was that we couldn't watch the games on TV. I've long felt that having the opportunity to watch the finest college teams play was as educational as it was entertaining for young, developing athletes-not to mention the pure passion that doesn't exist in professional sports anymore. It turns out I wasn't alone. I first found out about CSTV when my oldest son's lacrosse coach asked the team to get together to watch a game he had taped off the network.
So I called my cable operator to find out when we would be getting <http://webservices.collegesports.com/wsemail/?arg=239759.2W9ZtOm6IkJ92G8M>CSTV in our neighborhood, and was told that if it became available, we'd have to pay extra for it. Considering we already pay over $75 a month to subscribe to digital cable and get hundreds of channels we never watch, I found this hard to swallow, so I called CSTV to find out why-and was concerned enough about what I learned to offer to get involved. It turns out that CSTV doesn't want to be an extra pay service, and has encouraged the cable operators to offer it as part of our basic package for no extra charge. The problem is, it's a little company (started by the same guy who started my other favorite channel, Classic Sports Network that ESPN now owns), and has no influence with the big media conglomerates that control all the cable and satellite companies. So, in other words, my (and your) cable company thinks that people who love sports like lacrosse, wrestling, hockey, baseball, softball, gymnastics, soccer, and volleyball-or just want more and better coverage of football and basketball--aren't important enough to deserve one of their hundreds of channels. We're treated like second class sports fans! If you're like me, and believe in values like teamwork, leadership, loyalty, and determination, then I'd like to invite you to join with me to send a message. For years I've been amazed by how many channels there are that we never watch-finally one comes along that we want to see, and I'm told that we need to pay extra. That's just not right. I am convinced that if enough families, coaches and athletes get together, we can influence our cable and satellite companies to include CSTV as part of our basic package-and send the message that we deserve a choice in the sports we want to watch and play.
Here's what you can do:
Call your cable company. Tell them that you want to get CSTV as part of your basic cable package.
E-mail your cable company. Tell them that you want CSTV and you don't want to pay extra.
Call cable company again. Tell them that CSTV offers the sports you love that you can't find anywhere else.
Send the system manager a letter. Tell him or her that your community will be better off if every family has access to CSTV.
Forward this email to your friends. Ask them to forward it to their friends.
Forward this email to your kids. Ask them to forward it to their coaches and all of the kids on their teams.
Respond to this email with your ideas, so I can share them with others. One voice might not mean much, but we all know how loud a stadium or arena full of cheering fans can be.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Larry Cohen at <mailto:laxmanlarry@gmail.com>laxmanlarry@gmail.com

TDR Mat Challenge News
On Friday August 26th, the South Lenoir Blue Devils accepted the TDR Mat Challenge to start a wrestling program. A donation was made during halftime of their home football game with Kinston High School. TakeDown Report Editor Martin Fleming presented a check to Athletic Director Jimmy Smith and other school officials for support of the new wrestling team. Jeff Wooten will be coaching the new squad this season.
The TakeDown Report challenges high schools in eastern North Carolina that do not have a wrestling team to start a program. To each school the TakeDown Report will donate $300 towards the purchase of a new mat. Four schools in eastern North Carolina started wrestling in the 2003-2005 seasons. At least two more will add it this year. The TDR is joined by the National High School Coaches Association Outfitters, Action Mats and Ken Chertow Gold Medal Training Camp in supporting the teams with support. This will spark broader wrestling opportunities in eastern North Carolina. The TDR is in its, 13th year (9th year in North Carolina) of publication and promotions for wrestling.

Castro Announced As Liberty,s New Head Wrestling Coach
8/9/2005 5:24:00 PM From Liberty Sports Information
Liberty University Director of Athletics Thom Park, Ph.D., has
announced the employment of former Flames, wrestler Jesse Castro
as Liberty,s new head wrestling coach, marking the second step
in reestablishing the wrestling program at Liberty. On February
24, 2005, the Athletic Department announced the reinstatement
of the wrestling program after an 11-year hiatus as Liberty sponsored
the sport from 1974 to 1994. The wrestling program, which will
begin competition in the fall of 2006, will be Liberty,s 18th
NCAA Division I program. "We are thrilled to have Coach Jesse
Castro coming back home to coach and lead our restored wrestling
team, said Park. "Coach Castro will bring great expertise
and energy to Liberty wrestling. We expect big things from him
in the years ahead. Castro comes to Liberty from Kingsway Regional
High School in Woolwich, N.J., where he has served from 1997 as
a health and physical education teacher (grades 9-12), head wrestling
coach, head cross country coach and as head tennis coach (1997-2001).
Over the last eight seasons at the helm of the Kingsway Regional
wrestling program, Castro has guided the program to a 124-29 record,
five conference and South Jersey sectional championships, four
district titles and a state championship in 1998. Kingsway Regional
High School has been ranked in the Top 20 of the state of New
Jersey six out of the last eight years (out of 384 schools). Castro,
a three-time District Coach of the Year, has coached 34 individual
district champions, 10 state place winners, four regional champions
and one state champion, while 11 of his graduates currently wrestle
at the collegiate level. "I am both thankful and excited
about the upstart of Liberty University wrestling, commented Castro.
"This program has in large part contributed to who I am today
under the influence of former coaches Bob Bonheim and Don Shuler.
To offer high school wrestlers an opportunity to compete at an
NCAA Division I level while receiving an education at a highly
reputable Christian university is an honor and a privilege. Castro
got his start as a head coach at Norwich University in Northfield,
Vt., where he served as head wrestling and cross country coach
from 1988 to 1997 and as an assistant professor in the Health
and Physical Education Department. While at Norwich, the Cadets
were three-time New England College Conference Wrestling Association
runner-ups as he guided the program to a 103-47 record. Four times,
the Cadets were ranked in the Top 20 in the country, while Norwich
produced 53 All-New England wrestlers, nine All-Americans, two
national finalists and one national champion during Castro,s tenure.
He was named New England College Conference Coach of the Year
twice and was inducted in the Norwich University Athletic Department
Hall of Fame in 2001. Castro is no stranger to Liberty University
as he graduated from the program in 1981, after earning his bachelor,s
degree in physical education. Castro was the first four-time national
champion in the history of the National Christian Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCCAA), compiling a career 101-20-2 record (1977-81).
All four years at Liberty, Castro posted 20 or more victories,
including a career-best 29-5-1 record as a senior, while finishing
fourth at the NAIA national championship in 1981. After graduation,
Castro served with Athletes in Action and Campus Crusade for Christ
as a competitor (1981-83) and head coached teams that traveled
in Japan, Russia and South Korea from 1987-89. In 1983, Castro
returned to Liberty as an assistant wrestling coach and instructor
in the physical education program where he served until 1988.
During his five-year stint with the coaching staff, Liberty had
five Top 25 NCAA Division II national finishes, including three
Top 10 rankings and a program best fifth-place finish at the conclusion
of the 1985-86 season. The Flames also compiled a 49-22-4 dual
meet record against Division I opponents and had 19 student-athletes
garner Division II All-American honors. The native of Santa Clara,
Calif., earned his Master,s Degree in Education from Lynchburg
College in 1986. He and his wife, Elizabeth, have three daughters
Sarah (11), Rachel (9) and Hannah (7). <http://thewrestlingmall.com/htmls/news.asp?Cat=4&View=11536>http://thewrestlingmall.com/htmls/news.asp?Cat=4&View=11536
Limestone College names Anthony Coleman as Asst. Coach
GAFFNEY, SC: Limestone College Head Wrestling Coach Ben Stehura announced today the hiring of Anthony Coleman as assistant wrestling coach. Coleman joins Kevin Vees as an assistant on Stehura,s staff. A product of Cleveland State University, Coleman has had previous coaching experience with the West Shore YMCA (Cleveland, OH) where he coached for the Lakewood St. Edwards junior high program. At West Shore, Coleman coached three Tulsa National Champions and four All-Americans as well as seven junior high state placers. Coleman has also been involved in numerous wrestling camps throughout the country. While at Cleveland State, Coleman was a four-year starter, compiling a career record of 87-59 in the 141 and 149 lb. weight classes. He was a two-time NCAA Division I qualifier and earned Academic All-America honors. Coleman was also named team captain for the Vikings in his senior year. A native of Bellevue, OH, Coleman was an Ohio State Champion and High School All-American for Bellevue High School. Stehura was excited to add Coleman, who he coached at Cleveland State, to the staff. "Anthony brings a lot of top notch wrestling experience to the coaching staff and will certainly help us improve. He was an outstanding student athlete at Cleveland State, and I am sure that his discipline, dedication, and passion as an athlete will carry over to his coaching. Coleman was excited about the opportunity to work with his former coach. "Of all the coaching I have had, I feel like Ben made the biggest impact on me as a person as well as in my technical skills. He also stressed that the Limestone wrestling program is headed in the right direction. "Last year the team did pretty well and got the ball rolling, Coleman said. "The first recruiting class did well, given the circumstances of a first year program. With the new facility and the excitement about a new sport, this is a very good situation. Limestone will begin its second wrestling season with its annual clinic and intrasquad meet on Friday, November 5. <http://www1.limestone.edu/sfs/athletic/08092005_1.htm>http://www1.limestone.edu/sfs/athletic/08092005_1.htm

Editor,s Notes& Announcements: South Lenoir High School has accepted the TDR Mat Challenge and will have a presentation at their home football game with Kinston H. S. this Friday. Schools are adding wrestling programs across the country yet closer to home are Belmont-Abbey competing as a varsity team this season and Liberty University in Virginia will start next season. The TDR Mat Challenge will expand to colleges and universities in North Carolina. An excuse often given is that the schools can not afford a program yet many so called minor sports, could be added on the money spent to buy out, and pay football and basketball coaches not to coach. The Univ. of Cincinnati dropped wrestling a few years back yet can pay their last basketball coach almost $3 million not to do anything for them. The Annual TDR Special Recognition Awards (a.k.a. the Flemdawggy Awards) are listed in the High School coverage section.

at Kennedy high school under head coach Brent Paulson. He won
75 matches by fall and placed second at the high school nationals.
LeClere finished 167-2 overall with 105 falls and four Iowa state
titles at North-Linn for head coach Brad Bridgewater. He also

Jeremiah Fennell Signs Athletics Grant-in-Aid with Campbell Wrestling
BUIES CREEK, N.C. Jeremiah Fennell of Sandusky, Ohio, has signed an Athletics Grant-in-Aid with Campbell as announced by head wrestling coach Billy Greene today. Fennell, a Sandusky Perkins High School graduate, compiled a 72-45 record with 45 pins and 172 take downs as a four-year letter winner at Perkins. As a senior, Fennell went 43-10 and placed seventh in the state of Ohio. In addition, he finished in the top 16 at senior nationals (4-2) during his senior campaign. "I foresee Jeremiah,s best competitive wrestling years being ahead of him, said Coach Greene. "This is not said to minimize the great strides he has made as high school wrestler. However, with a seventh place finish in the competitive state of Ohio and a top 16 finish nationally as a senior, Jeremiah will only continue to improve. Fennell led the Pirates with 23 falls, 89 takedowns and posted first place finishes at the Findlay Duals (5-0), the Tiffin Wendy,s Holiday Invite and the OHSAA Sectionals. Fennell also finished second at the OHSAA Districts, the Delaware Hayes Invite and the Sandusky Bay Conference Tournament. "From a technical standpoint, Jeremiah is a powerful and agile heavyweight with his strongest position being his feet, added Greene. "He understands the importance of setting up his shots effectively and finishing quickly, a critical element of success at this level. Moreover, Jeremiah is very capable of generating a quick stand-up, another key factor as high school wrestles transition into collegiate competition and are introduced to the riding time factor. As a junior, Fennell went 15-1 with 35 takedowns and 10 falls. In his first two seasons at Perkins, he totaled 14 victories and 25 takedowns. Fennell,s athletic ability was not limited to the mat in high school as he was a standout defensive lineman for the Pirates. Fennell will wrestle in the 285-pound weight class and will major in criminal justice at Campbell. In high school, he was involved in pre-Criminal Justice vocational coursework while at Perkins. "Jeremiah is an outstanding respectful young man with a great personality. It has been a real pleasure recruiting him for our wrestling program. He exemplifies the student-athlete type we are seeking to rebuild Campbell wrestling for the upcoming years. The Campbell wrestling program finished the 2004-05 season 2-17 overall and 1-7 in the CAA. CU,s wrestling program is under the direction of second year head coach Billy Greene, a 2000 graduate of Campbell.

Bono makes U.S. wrestling team in return to Iowa State
AMES, Iowa (AP) " Iowa State assistant coach Chris Bono earned a spot on the U.S. freestyle team, beating Jared Lawrence in the 145-pound final Sunday. Bono competed at Hilton Coliseum for the first time since he wrestled for Iowa State nearly a decade ago. "It doesn't get any better than this for me," Bono said. "I've put a lot of work into this and to do it here, it's just amazing." Bono, the U.S. champion at 145 pounds, beat Lawrence two matches to none to make the national team for the first time since 2002 and for the third time overall. As the national champ, Bono received a bye to the final round. Lawrence, who was an NCAA champion at Minnesota, had to win a challenge tournament on Saturday to advance. Bono beat Lawrence 2-0, 0-2, 2-0 in the first match of the best-of-three set, then secured his berth on the team with a 3-0, 3-2 victory. Under new freestyle rules, each period is scored separately and a wrestler must win two of the three periods to get the victory. Lawrence defeated Bono in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials last year, but Bono beat the former Minnesota star for the national title in April. "I just wanted to have one more point than him," Bono said. "I wanted to dominate, I wanted to go out there and win, but as long as I had one more point than him, I got my hand raised and I'm on that plane to Budapest ready to win a world title." Former Nebraska heavyweight Tolly Thompson, an assistant coach at Northern Iowa, made the U.S. team for the first time by beating NCAA champion Steve Mocco of Oklahoma State. Thompson won the first match 2-0, 1-0, then had to battle back after Mocco's 3-0 victory in the first period of the second match. Thompson pushed Mocco out of bounds to win the second period 1-0, then got a takedown late in the third period for the victory. "It was a tough match. He wanted to win that one," said Thompson, who also defeated Mocco at the nationals. "I had to overcome some odds to win that dang match. He's a great competitor and a great athlete." National champions also won the five other weights Sunday " Sammie Henson (121), Michael Lightner (132), Joe Williams (163), Mo Lawal (185) and Daniel Cormier (211). None had to go to a third match to win. A quick pin sparked Katie Downing in the women's freestyle competition. Downing needed just 30 seconds to pin Kristie Marano in their first match at 147, then beat her 4-0, 1-0 in the second match to make the U.S. team. Olympic silver medalist Sara McMann (138<) also earned a spot on the team, along with Jenny Wong (105), Stephanie Murata (112), Marci Van Dusen (121), Sally Roberts (130) and Iris Smith (158). McMann, who had to go through the challenge tournament, wrestled her way to a spot on the team after a trying period last fall. Shortly after winning her Olympic medal, she was charged with careless driving causing a death after a car crash that killed her boyfriend, former Arizona State wrestler Steven Blackford. In October, McMann and her family sat through a trial in which a former college football player was convicted of killing her brother in 1999. Making the Greco-Roman team were Lindsey Durlacher (121), Joe Warren (132), Harry Lester (145), T.C. Dantzler (163), Brad Vering (185), Justin Ruiz (221) and Dremiel Byers (264). Durlacher and Lester both had to go three matches after losing their opening bouts early Sunday. Durlacher came back to beat Sam Hazewinkel, while Lester defeated Glenn Garrison.

Can't-win kid is ace, thanks to wrestling
Flop on mat kept trying, and it pays off - in the classroom By Mick Garry <mailto:mgarry@argusleader.com>mgarry@argusleader.com
Published: 08/2/05
The high school wrestling career of Zach Lamberty lasted four years, but was often sliced into very short increments. His matches were quick; Lamberty was not. The O'Gorman High School graduate, a Notre Dame junior who will spend next year at Oxford studying physics, makes light of his lack of wrestling talent but poignantly talks about the role the sport played in sharpening his talents elsewhere. He said he won four matches in four years at O'Gorman, with more losses than this math whiz could count. None of these victories, he added, came against South Dakota varsity opponents. "And the sick thing is," he said, "if Notre Dame had a wrestling team, I'd be tempted to go out." Lamberty, also a football player at O'Gorman, initially joined the team as a means of staying in shape during the winter months. The shine of that concept began to wear off his sophomore year, however, as the beatings piled up. "I was getting pretty frustrated," he said. "I wasn't coming close to winning anything." Sensing Lamberty was ready to bolt, Ken Lindemann, an assistant wrestling coach and a math teacher, took his terrible wrestler and brilliant student aside. "He pointed out how easily things had come to me in the classroom," Lamberty said. "Then he pointed to some people in the wrestling room who were a lot better wrestlers than I was. 'This is their classroom,' he said. 'This is where things come easily to them.' " Lindemann went on to point out that things also worked the other way. There were wrestlers who struggled to keep up in the classroom, where Lamberty was undefeated. "It was eye-opening at the time," Lamberty said. "I'd never thought of it that way before. It was unfair of me to run into something I was not good at and then quit immediately. Kids who had a harder time in school didn't have the option of quitting in the classroom. They had to stick with it." Lamberty retold that story in his valedictorian address to his classmates, citing it as a pivotal moment. He has since increased his appreciation of all that losing even more. "There have been times at Notre Dame when classes have seemed unbelievably difficult," Lamberty said. "And this was the stuff I was supposed to be good at. I wouldn't have been prepared for the struggle if I hadn't been a wrestler. It would have been, 'Why isn't this as easy as it has always been?' I don't know how I could have handled it." He expects the year at Oxford will be far tougher yet academically, and he knows he'll dearly miss the Saturdays when the Fighting Irish football team is playing in South Bend. Even so, Oxford was something he had to try. "I think getting through all those losses gave me a better attitude toward seeking out challenges," he said. "In a way, it goes back to the wrestling. It's going to be real tough, but it's my gift. I can do math and physics. If I were to quit short of getting the best education I can get, I'd be doing a disservice to my God-given talent." There are figurative challenges brought on by wrestling, and there are also literal ones. In his Notre Dame dorm, Lamberty will occasionally announce to those up and down the hall that it's wrestling time. Potential opponents pop out of their rooms like cartoon villains in a video game. "The sad thing is, I'll still get killed by guys who wrestled once in 10th grade or something," Lamberty said. "Here I am thinking: 'Sweet, I got some fresh meat here. I'm going to show you guys what it's all about.' And then I'll start wrestling and it's, 'Oh man, here we go again.' "
Stuart Villanueva / Argus leader
Zach Lamberty studies math and physics at Notre Dame. He could count on one hand the matches he won as a wrestler at O'Gorman High School. But he credits wrestling for reinforcing his academic determination: "I wouldn't have been prepared for the struggle if I hadn't been a wrestler."

The two words with which David Perry described his added role at Croatan High school were "challenge" and "different." Perry, the head football coach for the Cougars, was recently named the school's athletic director. He replaces David Cubbage, who stepped down from that responsibility, but will remain a member of the Croatan's faculty. Perry mentioned that Cubbage has given him some advice on his new position. "He used to coach football with me," Perry said of Cubbage following his team's first day of football practice Monday. "We have a good relationship." Perry said he is looking forward to taking on his first school year as athletic director. He will be entering his eighth season as football coach for the high school that opened its doors in 1998. Perry is also the school's head wrestling coach. "It's going to be different being a coach and athletic director and it definitely going to be a challenge," he said. "I have been working in the summer to give me a chance to catch up." Perry realizes that he will have to make some difficult decisions in his new role. "I am sure that a lot of (parties) will not be happy and that some coaches will feel that they are not given things that they need," said Perry. "Those will be the two hardest things (about the job.)"

Brands Announces Wrestling Transfer
2004 ACC Champion at 125 pounds to enroll at Virginia Tech
By Bryan Johnston, Assistant Sports Information Director, Virginia
Tech Athletics
BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech wrestling coach Tom Brands, along with
the Virginia Tech athletics department, announced Monday the transfer
of Christian Smith to the Hokie wrestling program. Smith was the
2004 Atlantic Coast Conference champion at 125 pounds for Duke
University, going 30-12 overall and earning a bid to the NCAA
Championships. Smith missed most of the 2004-05 season after sustaining
an injury early in the season. He was 12-5 on the year with three
falls before being sidelined. Smith, who is 42-17 for his career,
will be a redshirt sophomore as he was granted a medical redshirt.
"We're obviously excited about the transfer of Christian
to our program," Brands said. "He is a good addition
to the program and strengthens our lower weight classes. We were
already strong [in the lower weights] with Justin Staylor, but
Christian adds good stability and re-enforces our strength."
Smith is a native of Chesapeake, Va., where he was a three-time
AAA Virginia state champion at Western Branch High School. Smith
was also a 2002 USA Wrestling junior grand champion and was ranked
No. 4 among high school seniors by USA Magazine. He finished his
prep career with a record of 176-16. Smith joins an already strong
incoming freshman recruiting class that was ranked No. 2 in the
nation by both Intermat.com and W.I.N. Magazine. Joining Smith
will be a scholarship class consisting of Jon Bonilla-Bowman,
Jay Borschel, David Kiley, Daniel LeClere, T.H. Leet, Mark Logan,
Brent Metcalf, Daniel Moran, Kevin O'Connor and Joe Slaton. This
past week, Metcalf continued to impress, winning both the 145-pound
weight classes in the Greco-Roman and freestyle competitions at
the 2005 Asics/Vaughn Junior National Championships at Fargo,
N.D., earning Most Outstanding Wrestler honors in both events.
The two titles gave him six for his career, tying the record
set by Sean Hage of Georgia. He was also named national wrestler
of the week by TheMat.com. Classes at Virginia Tech begin on Monday,
Aug. 22, where all of these wrestlers, in addition to the returnees
and invited walk-ons will begin the 2005-06 academic year. Tech's
schedule should be finalized and released by the end of the month.

Campbell Wrestling Adds Four Newcomers
BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Four new wrestlers have committed to the Campbell wrestling team for the 2005-06 season head coach Billy Greene announced. The new wrestlers will look to make an immediate impact on the team that has just one senior. "We,re very pleased that these four are joining our team, said Coach Greene. "I think that they will play an integral role in our rebuilding process. I expect them to contribute greatly to our team success during their upcoming years here at Campbell. The first newcomer is Brent Poynter of Greer, S.C. A transfer from Spartanburg Methodist College, Poynter amassed a team best record of 22-7 as a sophomore for the Pioneers. The first SMC wrestler to be a district finalist, he advanced to the NJCAA National Meet. Prior to SMC, Poynter was at Anderson College, compiling a record of 14-12, the second highest on the team. As a four-year varsity wrestler and two-time captain at Eastside High School in Greenville, S. C., Poynter set several state records including 183 wins, 147 pins and a perfect senior season (49-0, 47 pins). Poynter was a two-time state champion, a Southern National Champion and a USA Wrestling HS All-American, while at Eastside. He also captained the cross country team for two of his four varsity seasons. A member of the U.S. Army Reserves, Poynter set base records for fitness, as well as providing leadership in his position as platoon guide, bay and squad leader. "Brent is a good signing for us, said Greene. "With such a young team we hope that Brent will be able to provide some maturity and leadership in addition to his wrestling ability, because of his experience as a college wrestler. Jason Cook of New Carlisle, Ohio is another new face in Buies Creek. He was the most valuable wrestler at Bellbrook High School as both a junior and senior, leading his team in reversals and falls in both years. Wrestling in the 189-pound weight class, he placed fourth in the Ohio Championship Tournament as a senior, after finishing sixth as a junior. Cook also played football for Bellbrook and was named league offensive lineman of the year, first team all-area and honorable mention all-state. Additionally, he was a member of the baseball and track & field teams. "Jason is a good wrestler who I think will thrive thanks to his work ethic, said Greene. "He has worked hard and it showed itself in his results, placing the last two years in the state tournament in Ohio which is a very strong wrestling region. Another new team member will be Jacob Austin of Boonville, N.Y. Austin was the fifth place finisher in the N.Y. State Tournament and most valuable wrestler at Adirondack Central High School. As a senior he had 100 takedowns for 38 wins, 30 of which were pin falls. As a junior his team won the N.Y. State Championship and Austin was named most outstanding wrestler on the team. He was also named an all-star linebacker for the football team. "Jacob could be a wrestler flying under the radar, said Greene. "I think he has an intensity, competitiveness and a strong core of technical skills that will make him a tough individual to hold down. I also think that his style will be one that lends itself well to collegiate wrestling. Also joining the team is Trevour Smith from Clemmons, N.C. A three-year letter winner at West Forsyth High School, where he wrestled under Campbell grad Mike Bryan, Smith set the school record for single season wins during his senior campaign going 50-5 and finishing 5th in the North Carolina State Championships. The three time all-conference selection also set the school record by scoring 35 technical falls during his senior season. Smith will enter the fall freshman class intending to major in pre-law. "Smith is someone who may also be flying under the radar. He had a great career in North Carolina and will look to continue to build on that success at Campbell. <http://www.gocamels.com/wrestling/archives.htm#Four_Newcomers_>http://www.gocamels.com/wrestling/archives.htm#Four_Newcomers_

WEADER NAMED INTERIM HEAD COACH OF GEORGE MASON
Assistant coach for six seasons, Mark Weader takes over
the program after the resignation of former head coach Brian Shaffer.
FAIRFAX, Va. (August 8, 2005) - Mark Weader, the top assistant
coach for the George Mason wrestling team for the past six seasons,
has been named interim head coach of the program for the upcoming
2005-06 campaign, Assistant Vice-President/Director of Athletics
Tom O'Connor announced Friday, Aug. 5. A new assistant coach will
be named in the future. Weader, a 1999 graduate of George Mason,
takes over the program following the resignation of former head
coach Brian Shaffer, who guided the Patriots to three Colonial
Athletic Association championships during his 10 seasons at the
helm. Weader trained for four seasons under Shaffer and is currently
ranked tied for 15th on the Patriots' all-time wins list with
75. "I'm very excited and honored to have the opportunity
to coach at my alma mater," expressed Weader. "I think
we're looking forward to a great year and a lot of future success."
As a member of the Patriot wrestling staff for six seasons, Weader
helped develop 12 NCAA qualifiers, including 2001 CAA Wrestler
of the Year Donnie DeFilippis, and helped coach five CAA individual
champions from 2000-2005. He was also on the staff of Mason's
2001 CAA championship squad. Weader, 29, completed his George
Mason career in 1998-99 as he compiled a 17-11 overall record,
won the Colonial Athletic Association championship at 157 pounds
and advanced for the first time to the NCAA Championships. He
placed second twice at 142 pounds at the CAA Championships, and
he won the Virginia Division I Intercollegiate Championship in
1998. A four-year starter for the Patriots after transferring
from Clemson University, Weader finished his career with an overall
record of 75-40. A native of Danville, Pa., and a 1994 graduate
of Danville High School, Weader twice qualified for the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Championships and
placed fourth as a senior. He graduated from George Mason in May
1999 with a B.S. degree in communication.
Weader and his wife, the former Shannon Jones, married May 14,
2005. Jones played soccer for George Mason's women's team from
1996-98. The couple resides in Fairfax, Va.

Dr. Reid S. Derr, associate professor of history at the college, will coach the new team. Derr has served as community coach for the Swainsboro Tiger wrestling team for the past two years. He has six years of high school wrestling experience and has wrestled overseas as well.

Fargo Championships
The Ten Days Of Fargo, " A Coach's Reflection"
by Ronnie Sigmon
The annual pilgrimage to Fargo, North Dakota for Team North Carolina
started on July 21st when wrestlers all across the state were
picked up at the four designated pick-up sites (Chapel Hill, Greensboro,
Conover, and Asheville). Royal Tours was the charter bus company
that provided transportation for the wrestlers again this summer.
The trip takes about twenty-seven hours and has the team traveling
through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota before arriving at their destination of Fargo, North
Dakota. Along the way the wrestlers were supervised by the team
coaches who perform such duties as taking role call after each
stop, keeping order, and playing the movies on the VCR. The wrestlers
kept themselves occupied by reading, playing cards, talking and
of course watching the on board movies. The bus stopped every
four to five hours for the wrestlers to take breaks. On the trip
up to North Dakota it seemed that it is everyone's priority to
check their weight at every break. Of course this causes some
comical looks from people at the truck stops and convenience stores
when thirty or more wrestlers converged upon the bathroom setting
up an electronic scale and they all check their weight. Store
patrons and employees are reassured that the wrestlers would soon
relinquish control of the "improvised weigh-in room"
and their bathroom will soon be back to regular business as usual.
During the long trip the wrestlers and coaches from different
schools got to know each other and form comradeships that may
last for many years.
The team arrived at Fargo about mid-day on Friday. Once there
the task of checking into the motel began. The bus was unloaded
of all of the luggage and supplies, which were then toted into
the rooms. Wrestlers stayed four to a room and they were generally
roomed with high school teammates or friends they had made upon
the trip from North Carolina. The next task of the day was to
take the wrestlers several miles down the road to the Fargo Dome
and the adjacent Bison Center for a team practice. At the Bison
Center there were many wrestlers from every state in the nation
plus Puerto Rico and Okinawa practicing for the tournaments. The
coaches prepared a practice schedule for the preceding week and
then the team went to their designated mat for a team practice.
After the one-hour long practice Team North Carolina got in line
to get their Fargo credentials. This consisted of taking their
photo and putting it along with their state identification on
a plastic card. The credential gave team members access to get
into the FargoDome and into the wrestling area during their competition.
The wrestlers were able to keep this and it became a cool "keep
sake" to remember their trip to Fargo. Saturday morning the
cadets went to the Bison Center for their Greco-roman weigh-in
and they began competition at the FargoDome through out the day.
The juniors practiced at the Bison Center while the Cadets were
in competition and later watch a round of cadet competition before
going back to the motel to retire for the day. As usual the competition
was fierce! After the first day only two cadets from Team North
Carolina were still in the tournament, Sheldon Wilder (91lbs)
of Riverside and Phillip Goodwin (125lbs) of South Point. Wilder
finished the day 2-1 and Goodwin finished the day an impressive
5-0! Sunday morning the juniors weighed-in and started their competition.
Later that afternoon both Wilder and Goodwin weighed in again
to continued their competition. Wilder lost his next match and
was out of the tournament. After winning his first five matches,
Goodwin only had to win just one more match and he would have
been an All-American. Goodwin lost his first match Sunday evening
10-0 to National Champion Devaughan Perkins of Nebraska. In his
next match Goodwin was winning 4-2 late into the match but then
got pinned by Rodrigo Beaz of Florida to end his dreams of making
All-American. Goodwin was a high school 4th place winner in the
North Carolina state tournament last winter. By the end of the
day though five North Carolina juniors were still in the tournament.
On Monday morning the five weighed in and started their competition
again. Bandys' wrestlers Byron Sigmon (152lbs) and Craig McIntosh
(171lbs) along with Mikal McKee (140lbs) of AC Reynolds all lost
their next match and were put out of the tournament. Sigmon and
McIntosh finished at (3-2) while McKee finished at (4-2) in Greco-roman.
Sigmon lost a 4-7 decision to three-time All-American Wesley English
of Indiana in the fifth round. McIntosh had beaten a former National
Runner-up in the first round of the tournament. In the fifth round
he was winning 7-1 against Evan Hinnebauch of Montana, but was
rolled though after a headlock and was pinned late in the first
period to be put out of the tournament. McKee had a bye in the
sixth round and then lost by an 11-0 tech fall to Kevin LeValley
of Colorado in the seventh round for his exit. Two other North
Carolina wrestlers had better success! Both Kendall Mowery and
Cameron Drye specialize in Greco-roman wrestling. Last year Mowery
was a 3rd place All-American in the 98lb junior weight class.
On Monday the Salisbury High School wrestler finished his pool
with a (4-2) record. This advanced him to the junior All-American
round Tuesday where he won a 16-4 Tech Fall over Anthony Jorge
of Florida to earn All-American honors by placing 7th. Cameron
Drye (119lbs) of Albermarle High School also earned All-American
honors. Last summer Drye broke his arm in June and he was not
able to compete at Fargo. He came to Fargo anyway with his stepfather
Scott Swain. While Swain helped coach the team Drye watched from
the stands as four Team North Carolina wrestlers earned All-American
honors in 2004. This helped to fuel his desire to succeed in 2005.
Drye pinned All-American Chad Condidorio of New York in :57 seconds
to take third in his pool sending him into the All-American round
with a (6-2) record. In the All-American round Drye was pinned
by Bradley Patacky of Pennsylvania in the first period. He finished
the junior Greco-roman tournament (6-3) earning 6th place All-American
honors. Both Mowery and Drye were state 4th placers in last season's
North Carolina high school state championships.
On Wednesday the cadet freestyle wrestlers weighed in and began
their competition while the junior wrestlers practiced at the
Bison Center. By Wednesday night though, all of the cadet freestyle
wrestlers were out of the tournament. Cadets Matthew Moretz (119lbs)
of Watagua and Colton Palmer (130lbs) of Riverside had respectable
(4-2) finishes for Team North Carolina. Both of these cadets were
North Carolina state finalist last winter. Palmer was a state
champion and Moretz was a state runner-up. On Thursday morning
the junior wrestlers had their weigh-in and began their last chance
for glory. By the end of the day Team North Carolina had three
wrestlers still in the tournament for the Friday weigh-ins and
competition. Travis Coffey (105lbs) of Watauga had acquired a
(2-1) record Thursday, but he lost by a first period pin on Friday
to Josh Chappa of Wisconsin and was put out of the tournament.
Coffey is a returning North Carolina High School State Champion.
Jordan Alfaro (112lbs) of Jack Britt High School entered the competition
on Friday with without a loss. He then advanced to the fifth round
before bowing out of the tournament with a (3-2) record. Alfaro
was a North Carolina high school 6th placer last season. Byron
Sigmon also began the tournament Friday undefeated with a (3-0)
record. Sigmon's 152lb weight class was very deep and numerous
featuring 102 wrestlers in the bracket, (25) of which had earned
All-Americans in the past year. Of those twenty four (6) have
been National Runner-Ups, and (5) others had won National Championships!
Sigmon won his next three matches on Friday defeating 2004 National
Runner-up Jordan Kolbow of Minnesota 5-0 along the way. With All-American
honors only one match away Sigmon lost his first match to two-time
All-American Joey Knox of Georgia 10-3 in round seven. In the
eighth round and again one match from attaining All-American honors
Sigmon lost to 2003 National Runner-Up Jake Kerr of Iowa 7-5.
Sigmon finished the tournament tied for 10th with a 6-2 record.
Sigmon is a two-time North Carolina High School State Champion.
He was a Cadet National Runner-Up last summer at Fargo.
This year women,s National Duals were added to go along with the
women's national freestyle championships at Fargo. The National
Duals featured women's teams from eight different states wrestling
in a dual team format. Team Texas defeated Team California for
the national title. This added several hundred high school female
wrestlers competing in their own tournament at Fargo in addition
to the 4,500 high school male wrestlers. Many of these girl wrestlers
had shown they could compete and even beat the big boys in their
states. Michaela Hutchison (103lbs) of Alaska and Deanna Rix (130lbs)
of Maine were high school state runners-up last winter competing
with boys in their state tournaments. Rix had lost in double over
time in the Maine high school state tournament to a male wrestler
she had beaten earlier in the season. At Fargo Rix competed in
the male Greco-roman tournament and finished with a 2-2 record
scoring two pins. She also competed in the junior female division
where she either pined or tech falled every opponent she wrestled.
This won her the most outstanding wrestler award in that division.

Jordan aiming for time on mat July 25,2005 <http://www.newbernsunjournal.com/SiteProcessor.cfm?Template=/GlobalTemplates/Stories.cfm&ByReporter=Jeremy%20Slayton&Section=Sports>Jeremy Slayton Sun Journal Staff
Raymond Jordan got an unexpected break from wrestling during his second semester at the University of Missouri. The former New Bern standout, who received a scholarship from the Tigers, underwent knee surgery and missed practice for five weeks. "It was tough," Jordan said. "Being able to watch wrestling and not get on the mat is one of the worst things." He added the injury won't force him to miss anytime in the future, but did say it feels sore from time-to-time. The redshirt freshman said he was able to keep his grades up, despite having to walk around on crutches, which slowed down his ability to get to back-to-back classes. Jordan made a short return to his hometown this week, with plans to return to Missouri before going to Wisconsin to train with teammate Ben Askren, a two-time national runner up in the 174-pound weight class. Jordan, a three-time state champion in North Carolina, said he's looking forward to working out with Askren, a native of Hartland, Wis. "It's just awesome," Jordan said. "He just shows me everything that I do wrong. He has a lot of knowledge." Jordan, after fully recovering from his surgery, was able to go to the Big XII Championship as well at the National Championships, where the Tigers finished 11th, to train with Askren. During his time away from the mat, Jordan said he was able to watching a lot of film and did a lot of cardiovascular work. He said his body is well-rested, because after tough training every day during the season, "it really wears on you. But not my body is ready to get back into it." When preseason practice begins later this year, Jordan will be attempting to earn mat time at a new weight class. Heading into last season, Jordan was slated at 174, which is currently occupied by Askren. This year, Jordan is setting his sights on the 184 points class. "I'm competing with a couple of guys," Jordan said. "No spot is given." Jordan said his main competition will be Mark Wall, a redshirt sophomore from Oak Grove, Mo., and Christopher Potter, a freshman from St. Charles, Ill.

<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=beach+wrestling+championship+2005&btnG=I'm+Feeling+Lucky>Beach Wrestling Championship 2005 August 13, Long Beach City, NY
Wrestling's new world rises from sand By Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY
LONG BEACH, N.Y. " In 1985, a police helicopter patrolling Long Island's beaches spotted a possible riot below. Upon alerting beach authorities, police learned it was just dozens of vacationing wrestlers from Penn State, Hofstra and other colleges paired off for matches in the sand and circled by 200-300 spectators. Wrestling was back on the beach Saturday. Organizers did test matches for the first Asics 2005 East Coast National Beach Wrestling Championships, set for Aug. 13 in this Long Island community. Bare-footed wrestlers, most from Long Beach High School, tangled within a yellow rope circle. "It's fun. It's different. It's cool," says Greg Accetta, 17, a rising high school senior and member of the Long Beach Wrestling Club. "It's more relaxed than usual wrestling. It's not all high-tension. You've got the water right here, the beach."
Although an earlier thunderstorm had emptied the beaches, about 100 spectators watched from the boardwalk. Others appeared on the balconies of nearby condos. Admission for next month's event will be free. Just getting attention is the aim for wrestling, which has battled elimination of college programs and faces potential cutbacks in the number of wrestling styles at the Olympics. Beach volleyball is the rage. There's beach soccer and beach tennis, too. Here comes grappling. This won't be the first beach wrestling tournament in the USA. The Oregon Wrestling Association hosted a tournament in May. But this will be the sport's East Coast debut, with five divisions: high school boys, high school girls, college men, open men and open women. "Wrestling needs promotion. That's the key, putting it in front of people who wouldn't pay $2 to watch a high school or college match," says Al Bevilacqua, an organizer here. Last year, wrestling's international governing body recognized beach wrestling as part of its "new world of wrestling," noting it was a traditional sport in Africa. The event here is being organized by New York's Metropolitan Wrestling Association (MWA). It is sanctioned by USA Wrestling, the national body, and sponsored by Asics America, official equipment supplier to USA Wrestling. Bevilacqua says funds from entry fees will go toward the MWA's "Beat the Streets" program, aimed at bringing wrestling to public schools in New York City. But Bevilacqua, chairman of the "Beat the Streets," says just raising awareness of wrestling will help.
"When I meet with a lot of middle school principals (in New York City), they don't even know what wrestling is."
The perils of sand
Long Island is a hotbed of high school wrestling. Its alumni include Olympian Kerry McCoy and actor Billy Baldwin. Saturday, the local high school team got its first taste of official beach wrestling. "You sink in. It's hard to take shots" for takedowns, said John Candon, 15, who will be a junior at Long Beach High.
Although many of the wrestlers wore their usual one-piece singlets, required attire for the tournament will be shorts only for men, one- or two-piece suits for women. International referee Paul Kieblesz, who officiated Saturday, says attire won't be too skimpy. No thongs or bikinis. "We don't want exposure. The sand can pull pants off," he says. Throwing sand in an opponent's face is illegal, but the sand is a factor beyond just the footing. Leo Palacio, 42, an assistant coach at Long Beach, lost a rugged match to Jon Masa, a Long Beach alum and a two-time All-American at Hofstra, where he will be a senior next season. "The knee is fine. The back is fine. But the sand tastes terrible," Palacio said later. He also got sand in his eyes: "There's a lot of sand flying around. I don't know what they're going to do, if they're going to stop it if you get sand in the eyes." Kieblesz said officials will use injury time to get towels for wrestlers with sand in their eyes.
Although sand might seem softer than a mat, there were opinions here it wasn't. That was the verdict from Basil Donato, 17, a recent graduate of Long Beach, after he was thrown by Masa: "The mat has more give to it. But anytime you wrestle Masa, it's going to hurt."
Looking for attention
The high school divisions will be divided into four weight classes; the college and open divisions will have only two. The classifications will be determined after registration, based on the contestants' size. So there likely will be some mismatches. How that plays out remains to be seen. But after losing to Masa, Donato said, "The sand is an equalizer. I wouldn't have gone as long with him on the mat. There is a lot of drag on your feet." Bare feet. Tournament sponsor Asics America is obviously not in this event to sell wrestling shoes. "This is a new sport. It's wrestling. I'm involved in wrestling. Let's give it a shot and see what happens," says Neil Duncan of TW Promotions, which handles wrestling marketing and promotions for Asics. Along with sweeping changes this year in the rules of international matches, beach wrestling is part of the world governing body's plan to pump up the sport's entertainment appeal. USA Wrestling had scheduled a national championship for beach wrestling May 1 in Las Vegas, on the heels of the U.S. national championships, which featured Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling. It called off the event, citing venue problems. USA Wrestling had planned to offer prize money in Las Vegas. There will be no prize money here, and this won't be a field of elite U.S. wrestlers. Although no women participated in Saturday's run-through, organizers say some are expected for the tournament. But USA Wrestling will have observers here. It wants to be ready in case the international governing body holds a world beach championship. "We kind of had the same philosophy with women's wrestling when it first started," says Rich Bender, executive director of USA Wrestling. "We can't just stand around, no pun intended, and stick our head in the sand."
Duncan hopes for 100 competitors or more here. Bevilacqua hopes for spectators by the thousands. "We want the national championships next year," he says. "Imagine that on Coney Island?"
Beach wrestlers ready : Rules: Double elimination. Three-minute matches. Only stand-up wrestling. Matches can be won by a fall when a wrestler touches both shoulders to the sand; by two throws to the sand; by a wrestler getting pushed outside the rope circle twice or by referee's decision.
Entry fee: $20 if pre-registered, $25 at the tournament. All wrestlers current members of USA Wrestling.
Awards: Medals to the top 3 finishers. At spring Oregon tournament, medals were fashioned from seashells.
Differing Styles : Beach wrestling might seem unusual, but it is not compared to some other traditional wrestling styles around the world. A sampling:
Schwingen: Switzerland. Wrestlers compete in sawdust, winner brushes the sawdust off the loser's back.
Yagli gures: Turkish sport. Wrestlers cover their bodies with olive oil. They compete outdoors on the grass.
Nuba/Nubian: Wrestlers among the Nuba people in the African nation of Sudan cover themselves in ceremonial ash, which represents the essence of life. They wrestle in the dirt.

As mentioned, the final week of July saw a "first" here in the United States. On 28 July USA Wrestling hosted a Women,s National Dual Meet Championship pitting state-level teams of high school women wrestlers in competition against each other. Long regarded as the top youth women,s wrestling state in the nation, Texas backed up its claims as the Texas-Lady Lonestars defeated California 32-12 in the finals of the inaugural Women,s Junior National Duals at the FargoDome in North Dakota. The women from Texas posted five dual wins in the eight-team event. In the third-place dual, Team Hawaii downed Team Ohio, 24-4. Florida defeated the Washington Sour Apples 28-12 in the battle for fifth while the Wisconsin Milkshakes defeated the Kansas Krusaders, 20-8 in the wooden spoon wrestle-off.

Editor,s Notes& Announcements: This is the first issue of the 13th year of the TDR overall and 9th year in North Carolina. We are looking to publish 70 issues again by next July. Issues will be sent once a week but we may have some disruptions due to computer adjustments, repairs and such. We still have copies of the State Final DVDs and TDR Shirts which can be shipped directly to you check the order form at <http://www.geocities.com/thetakedownreport/tdrorderform.html>TDR Order Form The updated <http://www.geocities.com/thetakedownreport/collegecoachingwins.html>College Coaches All-Time Dual Win List now has over 1,800 names on the full alphabetized list. The list was mention in Mike Chapman,s column in the latest W.I.N. magazine along with some of the top coaches, records.
This fall we will present the remaining engraved plaque awards to the top wrestlers along with the Top TDR Award Trophies. Weekly TDR Rankings will be submitted to all daily newspapers in eastern N.C. If you would like to see them in your local paper, encourage them to run the weekly column and rankings.
At the NCCA Conference-Convention in Greensboro we announced to the coaches that we will be raising funds for the State Finals on TV. The NCHSAA has agreed to have their portion of the funds collected from sales this year will be included for next year,s production. Bob Mauldin of the NC Mat News asked us to pass along his request for coaches to send in information to him about your teams. If coaches are interested in hosting a Regional Tournament they should contact the NCHSAA by Sept. 1st about this. Announced were some rule changes including in-season dual tournaments as the starting weight will move up one class in each round along with some others.
There will be no 1A Individual Tournament in 2006. It won,t be added until more 1A schools add the sport. There will be a 1A State Duals Tournament yet for all 4 levels the bracketing will be changed somewhat with wildcard, entries. It sounds like a good idea and hopefully will work out well this season. Last year 4 schools added wrestling in the east in part in response to the TDR Mat Challenge and we continue to challenge, for the third year, schools without wrestling in eastern N.C. to add the sport. If they do so we will make a contribution to assist them in their efforts.
We are looking forward to a great season in 2005-2006. The TDR will direct and/or help with at least 16 tournaments in the upcoming year. Most of our web pages have been updated as indicated below. We welcome input and corrections. Note embedded links in the Index below. Send news, results, & articles on-line to us. Until later, Martin Fleming, Editor

One look and you will tell that I have been busy cleaning
links. Overall it's a net loss of 134 links after the scrubbing,
but I also updated about that same number of links which had relocated
elsewhere on the web. Webmasters are always renaming files and
file structures, so I have to keep on top of things or you get
dead links!
Let me know what you think of the new ones, and keep sending me
new ones and ideas.

North Carolina Wrestlers Are Fargo Bound
Ask most people what Fargo is and they stop and ponder the question. They usually say, is it a movie? Is it a bank? Or maybe just a simple I don't know. Ask the same question to most any high school wrestler and you will get an immediate answer. "Cadet and Junior Nationals"! This event is held annually in Fargo, North Dakota in late July. "Fargo" is to high school wrestling as the superbowl is to pro football. Every spring high school wrestlers looking to make a name for themselves on the national level start training for "Fargo". The event consist of two tournaments wrestled back to back attracting over 4,500 cadet and junior wrestlers from all across the nation. The Cadets,"15 and 16 year olds", and the Juniors, "17 to 19 year olds", compete in the two Olympic styles of wrestling, greco-roman and freestyle. There is no other wrestling tournament this large in the world. Naturally, this also attracts many wrestling fans, coaches and wrestling news media creating a economic boon for the North Dakota city of 91,000 people. An event this large has to have an equally large facility. Fargo has just the right place. The Fargo Dome. It is the domed indoor football stadium for the North Dakota State University Bisons. This, along with the large fieldhouse next door, provides the perfect facilities for this huge event. While competition goes on in the Fargo Dome weigh-ins and team practices are held in the fieldhouse. Having most of the nations best high school wrestlers all competing in the same place during a 10-day period creates a recruiting smorgasbord for college coaches. Take a short stroll through the walk ways at the Fargo Dome and you will see collegiate coaches with note pads and cell phones keeping up with who has beaten who during the day's matches. Nearly every college team will have at least one of their coaches scouting this event. Wrestlers know what the stakes are. If they win 4-5 matches in a tournament colleges coaches start sending them letters. If they make All-American the letters usually include scholarship offers. Win a national championship and they could save mom and dad about a hundered grand in future college tuition. By placing in the top eight of your weight class a wrestler earns All-American honors. This has the added bonus of becoming a funded athletes where they can receive free training, room and board at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. With stakes this large the competition is intense! It is not uncomon to watch a high school state champion not even win a match in the two tournaments at Fargo. This summer thirty-seven wrestlers from North Carolina will compete in Fargo. Six of these wrestlers are from the Catawba Valley. They all earned their spot on the North Carolina team by either winning or placing high at the state freestyle and greco-roman tournaments held at UNC Pembroke last May. Four of these are cadet wrestlers making thier first trip to Fargo. Dustin Potter (112lbs) and Chris Townsend (125lbs) are students at South Caldwell. Potter was a high school state qualifier last season for the Spartans. Curtis Holland (112lbs) and Christopher Morgan (171lbs) are students at Bunker Hill High School in Claremont. Patrick McIntosh (145lbs) of Bandys is also making his first trip to Fargo. McIntosh was a high school State Runner-up last winter for the Trojans. Bandys has two wrestlers competing in the Junior division. Craig McIntosh and Byron Sigmon. McIntosh, the older brother of Patrick, graduated last spring and has signed to wrestle for UNC Greensboro next fall. He has competed at Fargo in 2002 as a cadet and last summer as a junior. Both times McIntosh was just short of making All-American. "I have worked very hard this spring and summer", said McIntosh. "I want to win a national championship this time". Mcintosh was a state champion for Bandys as a freshman. He was injured his sophomore season, but he was a State Runner-Up as a junior and placed third last winter. McIntosh will compete in the 171lb weight class. Sigmon, a two-time Bandys State Champion, competed in Fargo for the first time last sumer in the cadet division where he was an All-American in greco-roman and the National Runner-Up in freestyle. He recently repeated as the NHSCA Folkstyle National Champion last month in Virginia Beach. "Craig and I have trained hard every since the high school state tournament last winter", said Sigmon. "We will try to represent our community and state well". Sigmon will compete in the 152lb weight class again this summer.
Traditionally midwestern and northeastern states dominate the competion and the number of wrestlers sent to Fargo. These state send full teams consisting of over 100 wrestlers and return with numberous National Champions and All-Americans. Last summer North Carolina had four wrestlers to earn All-American honors at Fargo. Two of these All-Americans will return. Sigmon at junior 152lbs and Kendal Mowery of Salisbury. Mowery placed fourth at junior greco-roman 98lbs last year. This summer Mowery will wrestle in the 112lb weight class. The North Carolina team has four other wrestlers to watch in the junior division, all of whom have won North Carolina High School State Championships in the past two years. Travis Coffey, 112lbs (Watauga), Pete Pucket, 145lbs (Butler), Zach Martin 152lbs (Pinecrest), and Timmy Allen 189lbs (Davie County). High School State Runner-Up Aaron Holifield, 130lbs (Davie County) could also contend for national honors. One junior team member will not make the trip to Fargo. Two-Time State Champion Chris Bullins of McMichael High School suffered a torn ACL at a practice in June and had to have knee surgery. The cadet division has solid All-American canidates in High School State Champion Colton Palmer, 135lbs (Riverside) and High School State Runner-Up Patrick McIntosh, 145lbs (Bandys). On Thursday Team North Carolina will start their twenty-six hour journey to Fargo. Royal Tours of Randelman will transport the team by picking up wrestlers and coaches first in Chapel Hill then Greensboro, Conover, and Asheville. The Conover pick will have over twenty members. They will meet the bus at the Wilco/Citgo Travel Plaza on Rock Barn Road, Exit 133 at 8:45am. The team is scheduled to return to North Carolina on August 1st.

Trio of White Oak wrestlers make their college plans June 15, 2005, 08:42 AM
By Paul Thompson <http://www.jacksonvilledailynews.com/>Jacksonville Daily News
David Pelsang often seemed a man among boys while forging a stellar prep wrestling career at White Oak High School. The next time he dons a grappling jersey he could be getting a taste of the other side of life.
Pelsang, who graduated from WOHS May 24, recently signed to attend the University of North Carolina, where he will join the Tar Heels renowned wrestling squad. Pelsang receiving a combination scholarship, earning a North Carolina Teaching Fellows Scholarship which will be complemented by an athletic scholarship once he officially joins the team. He expects to be redshirted his freshman year. "The main reason I picked it is it has great academics above all," Pelsang said, noting he also considered Gardner-Webb. "Ever since I started wrestling I wanted to wrestle in college and Carolina is my dream school."
Pelsang, 18, was a runner-up at 160 pounds in the NCHSAA 3-A state tournament this year, finishing with a 49-4 record to push his career victory total to approximately 120, according to Vikings head coach Ray Bruno. He was a regional champion at 171 pounds in 2004. "David is a very e xperienced tactical wrestler, as well as a technical wrestler," Bruno said. "He's a workaholic and he's improved his skills very much in the last two years. All of his credentials lead up to him having a successful stay at UNC, in my opinion.
"I think he'll fit in real good. (UNC coach) T.D. Mock has had our team down there the last two years... he's well aware of David's ability on the mat." Pelsang, the son of David Sr. and Carol Pelsang of Jacksonville, understands those previous achievements will mean little once he reaches Chapel Hill. "I need to get used to college wrestling... it's a big step from high school wrestling," he said. "They're a lot bigger, stronger. They're pretty much grown men." Pelsang is expected to wrestle at 165 pounds, according to a press release on www.tarheelblue.com, and Mock praised Pelsang among a group of five recent signees to the Tar Heel program. "We brought in an excellent group of freshmen last year that made up a strong nucleus for last year's team and were instrumental in our success," Mock said in the release. "Our one problem has been lack of depth. With everyone from last year's team back, our goal this year was to add some depth to our upper weights. We feel with the addition of these freshmen we have accomplished that objective. We are very pleased to be adding these student-athletes to our program." Pelsang welcomed the prospect of being redshirted, saying it will allow him to time to adjust to collegiate life. He said he plans to major in biochemistry and could eventually lean towards a career in medicine. "The year will help me acclimate to the Division I competition," he said. "The workouts are more intense ... it's a lot more serious atmosphere.
"I'm a hard worker. I feel I'm dedicated to it. And I'm a student of the sport. That should help big time."
Pelsang targeted All-America status as his eventual goal, and Bruno feels his work ethic will go a long way in helping him achieve that level. "We're talking about a kid who does all the extra things without being told all the time," Bruno said. "David is college material at a high school age." Pelsang also recently earned the honor of the top senior scholastic wrestler in Eastern North Carolina, according the The Takedown Report. Pelsang will be presented the James Johnson Award at halftime of a WOHS home football game this fall. That award is named for the three-time national Greco-Roman champion from Greenville-Conley. <http://www.northcarolina.ihigh.com/0,1673,1_14_1_97850,00.html>http://www.northcarolina.ihigh.com/0,1673,1_14_1_97850,00.html

SHAFFER RESIGNS AS HEAD COACH OF GEORGE MASON WRESTLING
Two-time CAA Coach of the Year won three conference titles and coached 29 NCAA qualifiers.
FAIRFAX, Va. (July 26, 2005) - George Mason's Brian Shaffer announced his resignation as head coach of the Patriot wrestling team effective Friday, July 29. Shaffer, a two-time Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year, led George Mason to three conference titles in 10 seasons and coached more than 25 NCAA qualifiers. "This has been one of the toughest decisions of my life, but I feel that I am at a stage where I need to spend more time with my family without sacrificing the guys and the program," expressed Shaffer. "I want to thank George Mason University for the opportunity to coach here and I wish nothing but the best for the program." "I'd like to thank Brian for the dedication and hard work he has given to the George Mason wrestling program," stated Assistant Vice-President/Director of Athletics Tom O'Connor. "He not only helped produce fine young athletes, but he also helped groom fine young men. The George Mason family wishes him all the best in his future endeavors." In 2000-01, only four seasons ago, Shaffer led a young squad to an 8-4 overall record, and captured its fifth conference title in 10 years at the CAA Championships. Shaffer was named conference Coach of the Year for the second time and joined sophomore Donnie DeFilippis (Wrestler of the Year) and freshman Tony Howard (Rookie of the Year) in sweeping the conference postseason awards. Shaffer compiled a dual-meet record of 70-59 in his 10 seasons with the Patriots. In his first year back in Fairfax (he had been an assistant for two seasons under former Patriot mentor Mike Moyer) in 1995-96, Shaffer led George Mason to a 9-4 record and earned his first CAA Coach of the Year honor, and he led the Patriots to another conference title in 1996-97 as they posted a 12-3 mark. Shaffer, 37, came to George Mason after rebuilding the program at American University in three seasons from 1992-95. Under his leadership, the program at American rose from the bottom of the CAA to become a consistent challenger for the conference title. The Eagles posted their first winning dual-meet season in 12 years in 1992-93 with an 11-6 record and were 26-20-1 overall during his tenure. His overall record as a head coach was 96-79-1. In 13 years as a head coach, Shaffer produced three wrestlers who claimed the Outstanding Wrestler award at the CAA Championships and three others who were named CAA Rookie of the Year. Shaffer turned out several national qualifiers at George Mason. Seventeen moved on by virtue of winning a CAA individual championship - including 2004 149-pound champion Adrian Austin - three automatically advanced by placing second, and the other nine received "wild card" berths into the tournament. Shaffer also taught in the College of Health, Fitness and Recreation Resources (physical education) at George Mason University.

A few facts about girls, wrestling and some online resources
to learn more about this growing phenomenon:
About 4000 girls wrestle at the high school level in the U.S.
(compared to 239,000 boys), according to the USA Wrestling Association.
High school girls, wrestling has only been sanctioned in two states:
Hawaii and Texas (both since 1999).
Until girls, wrestling teams are numerous enough to get state
sanctioning, girls have to compete at informal divisions or meets
instead of state tournaments"or compete against boys. In
2005, there were 17 girls who qualified for boys, high school
state tournaments around the country, and six of those girls placed.

Bill Lam Honored By National Wrestling Hall of Fame
Thirty-year UNC head coach received Lifetime Service to Wrestling
Award.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Former University of North Carolina
wrestling coach Bill Lam received the Lifetime Service to Wrestling
Award from the State Chapter of North Carolina of the National
Wrestling Hall of Fame Sunday at the Friday Center. Lam
was one of six North Carolina honorees to receive the award, which
is "given in recognition of years of dedication to the development
of leadership and citizenship in young people through the sport
of wrestling," according to the National Wrestling Hall of
Fame. Lam retired from North Carolina in 2003 after 30 years
as head wrestling coach. He won 15 Atlantic Coast Conference titles
and was a 10-time league coach of the year. Lam mentored five
NCAA champions, 37 All-Americas and 93 ACC champions. He posted
a 378-131-4 career record and was named national coach of the
year in 1982. "Bill Lam has left a strong legacy here
at UNC and throughout the state," said current UNC head coach
C.D. Mock, who won a national title under Lam in 1982. "His
influence on the sport of wrestling in the state of North Carolina
is hard to measure. His belief in me was the primary reason I
came to UNC as a wrestler, and I learned a tremendous amount from
him as his assistant coach for three years. I consider him a mentor
and friend. His influence on countless young men who have passed
through this great University is eternal. This recognition is
a well-deserved honor."

Three Recruits Commit to Campbell Wrestling
BUIES CREEK, N.C. Steve Wiktorek of Johnson City, N.Y., Kelin Bidelspach of Hanover, Pa., and Richie Apolinar of Concord, N.C., have signed an Athletics Grant-in-Aid with Campbell as announced by head wrestling coach Billy Greene today. Wiktorek, a professional Golf Management Major, joins the CU program from Mississippi State and will wrestle for the Camels in the 149 and 157-pound weight classes. Wiktorek is a Scott Ellis Scholarship Award at Campbell. "Mississippi State does not sponsor collegiate wrestling and Steve contacted us to share his desire to continue wrestling, said Greene. "However, he was adamant about transferring to a university that offered his major, Pro Golf Management. Fortunately, Campbell University was able to accommodate both needs. The coaching staff is very pleased Steve will be joining the wrestling program. I am confident Steve will set high goals for himself on the mat and in the classroom. The Johnson City High School graduate earned a school-record 15 varsity letters as a standout golfer, wrestler and track athlete. Wiktorek won 10 STAC Conference titles and was an eight-time Section 4 champion. He also garnered five STAC Conference All-Star bids with seven All-Conference team picks. Wiktorek helped lead the wrestling team to National Rankings (#22) and the New York State Team Championship. He was co-captain of the squad and notched 126 victories during his career. Wiktorek was a two-time Section 4 champion and a three-time STAC Conference champion. "Steve wrestled for Coach Capone at Johnson City High School, a perennial New York State powerhouse, added Greene. "Consequently, he has been equipped with solid fundamentals and understands the price it takes to compete at the next level. Wiktorek holds Johnson City HS records for sub par stroke average in golf, and in the 3200 Relay, 800 and 400 meter events in track. He played six years of varsity golf and was ranked number-one on the squad for four years. Kelin Bidelspach is also a Scott Ellis Scholarship Award winner and will wrestle for the Camels at 141 pounds. He plans on majoring in Business while at Campbell. "My first opportunity to watch Kelin compete was at the Pennsylvania state tournament this last season, said Greene. "His intensity and competitive focus immediately impressed me. I am confident he has the tools and attitude to be a success at the division one level. Bidelspach totaled 124 career victories and a single-season school record 153 takedowns at Spring Grove High School. He was a First Team All-Area All-Star, Sectional Champion and District 3 Champion on the mat and placed eighth at the PIAA (Pennsylvania States). Also while at Spring Grove HS, Bidelspach was voted "Most Athletic by his peers and was a standout on the soccer field in addition to his performance on the mat. Bidelspach was a co-captain and All-County All-Star selection in soccer at Spring Grove. "Kelin exemplifies the type of recruit we are looking to build our wrestling program,s success around, added the second year head coach. "He is fully committed to individual success on the mat and in the classroom. He is a positive, upbeat young man that understands the work and sacrifice that success requires. Richie Apolinar will major in physical education at Campbell and will wrestle in the 125-pound weight class for the Camels. The Central Cabarrus High School graduate also received the Scott Ellis Scholarship Award. "Richie is a solid young man with a strong commitment to excel as a student-athlete, said Greene. "I anticipate the positive influence and high expectations he will set for the lighter weight classes on the team. While at Central Cabarrus HS, Apolinar compiled 171 career victories, was the 2005 North Carolina 4A State champion and was a three-time National Qualifier. Apolinar placed fourth at the N.C. 4A State championship in 2004. "Richie possesses good quickness, agility and balance critical athletic qualities at the 125 pound college wrestling division, added Greene. "He also chain wrestles very well, with his takedown offense and counter wrestling skills being his strongest assets. Richie,s style as a wrestler will translate well into the college ranks. Apolinar also claimed the N.C. State Games title, won conference, county and regional Most Outstanding Wrestler awards in high school and was a three-time National Qualifier. He was a three-time North Carolina State champion in both Freestyle and Greco Roman and placed fifth at the Greco Roman Western Regionals. Apolinar also earned a Freestyle Central Region runner-up finish. The Campbell wrestling program finished the 2004-05 season 2-17 overall and 1-7 in the CAA. CU,s wrestling program is under the direction of second year head coach Billy Greene, a 2000 graduate of Campbell.

Olympians Sanderson, Gardner & college star Mocco nominated for ESPY Awards
2004 Olympic gold medalist Cael Sanderson (Ames, Iowa/Heber
City, Utah/Sunkist Kids), 2000 Olympic gold medalist and 2004
Olympic bronze medalist Rulon Gardner (Wellsville, Utah/Afton,
Wyo./Sunkist Kids) and two-time NCAA champion Steve Mocco (N.
Bergen, N.J./Oklahoma State/New York AC) have been nominated for
2005 ESPY Awards. Sanderson has been nominated for "Best
Male Olympic Performance," Gardner has been nominated for
"Best Comeback" while Mocco is nominated for "Best
Male College Athlete." The three wrestling nominees are the
most ever in a single year for the sport. Nominees are selected
by a panel of ESPN staff and esteemed journalists. Sanderson captured
an Olympic gold medal in Athens, Greece last summer by coming
from behind in four of his five victories. In college, Sanderson
made wrestling headlines by becoming the first collegiate wrestler
to finish his career with four NCAA titles and an undefeated record
(159-0) while at Iowa State Univ. In 2003, he proved to be an
international star by winning a silver medal at the World Championships.
"This came as a real shock to me," Sanderson said. "There
were some awesome Olympic athletes in Athens, including the other
two who were nominated - Phelps and Wariner. Winning that gold
medal was a special moment for me, and this just helps me to relive
that moment." Also nominated for "Best Male Olympic
Performance" are Michael Phelps of swimming and Jeremy Wariner
of track & field. Sanderson won an ESPY Award in 2002 for
"Best Male College Athlete," becoming the inaugural
winner of that particular category. Gardner won the 2000 Olympic
gold medal after defeating Alexander Karelin of Russia in the
finals. Karelin had previously gone unbeaten in 13 years of international
competition. Gardner followed that win by capturing the 2001 World
Championship at the same weight. On Feb. 14, 2002, Gardner had
been snowmobiling when he became bogged down in deep snow near
his hometown of Afton, Wyo. Gardner braved overnight temperatures
minus 10 degrees for nearly 14 hours before being rescued the
next morning. He lost a toe to frostbite during a recovery process.
Last year, Gardner completed his comeback by winning a bronze
medal at the 2004 Olympic Games. He brought tears to the eyes
of millions of Americans by placing his shoes in the middle of
the mat to symbolize his retirement. "I worked very hard
to come back from everything I had to come back from just to get
to the Olympics again. It is very touching that a committee also
was able to recognize that as well and nominate me for this award,"
Gardner said. Also nominated for "Best Comeback" are
Kayla Burt of Washington basketball, Mark Fields of the Carolina
Panthers and Jordan Sigalet of Bowling Green hockey.
In 2001, Gardner won an ESPY Award for "Male USA Olympic
Athlete. Mocco won his second NCAA title in 2005 as a junior at
heavyweight. He led Oklahoma State to its third straight NCAA
team title and was the last of five individual champions in the
Cowboys lineup. In 2004, Mocco placed third at the U.S. Olympic
Team Trials while taking an Olympic Redshirt year from Iowa, where
he won an NCAA title in 2003 before transferring. "This is
a huge, not only for me, but for Oklahoma State wrestling,"
Mocco said of his nomination. "There are some other real
strong athletes in this category, so to even be thought of by
them is an honor." Also nominated for "Best Male College
Athlete" are Andrew Bogut of Utah basketball, Alex Gordon
of Nebraska baseball, Matt Leinart of USC football and Marty Sertich
of Colorado College hockey. This is the first ESPY Award nomination
for Mocco. To vote for Gardner, Mocco and Sanderson, visit <http://espn.go.com/espy2005/s/05nomineesindex.html>espn.go.com/espy2005/s/05nomineesindex.html,

and Gardner (<http://www.rulongardner.com/>www.rulongardner.com/)
for more information. Past wrestling ESPY winners include Kyle
Maynard in 2004 for "Best Athlete with a Disability",
Cael Sanderson in 2002 for "Best Male College Athlete and
Rulon Gardner in 2001 for "Male USA Olympic Athlete. In 2003,
Eric Larkin was nominated for "Best Male College Athlete.
The ESPY Awards were created by ESPN in 1993 and are given for
Excellence in Sports Performance. The 2004 ESPY Awards will be
held at Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif. on July 13. The show
will be televised by ESPN on Sunday, July 17 at 9 p.m. (EST).

High School Excellence Awards, given by the National Wrestling
Hall of Fame to a high school senior. The program is based equally
on outstanding wrestling success, scholastic achievement and citizenship
or community service. The national winner will be announced in
May. Laboranti, who redshirted this past season, was equally
impressive at the Junior Nationals, placing second at 96 kg. He
dropped a 2-0, 2-0 decision to Brandon Halsey of Bakersfield,
Calif., in the finals, but had several nice wins en route to the
championship match. Laboranti will likely be Tech's 197-pounder
next year. With their performances at the Junior Nationals,
both Metcalf and Laboranti have qualified for the FILA Junior
World Trials, to be held May 22-29 at Colorado Springs, Col. Should
they win their weight class, they would go on to represent the
United States at the FILA Junior World Championships July 5-10
in Vilius, Lithuania. At the Senior Nationals, the top finisher
representing Tech was volunteer assistant Lee Fullhart, who placed
second at 84 kg. He dropped a 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 decision to Mo Lawal
of the Gator WC in the finals. Fekete, who wrestles in the Tech
club program, placed third at 96 kg while assistant coach Doug
Schwab placed fifth at 66 kg. Rising senior Mike Faust placed
fifth at 120 kg. With their performances at the Senior Nationals,
all four have qualified for the FILA Senior World Team Trials,
to be held June 17-19 at Ames, Iowa. Should they win their weight
class, they would go on to represent the United States at the
FILA Senior Worlds Sept 27-Oct. 3 in Budapest, Hungary. Faust
Named to NWCA All-Academic Team
Hokie grappler one of three ACC wrestlers honored
BLACKSBURG, Va - Virginia Tech redshirt-junior Mike Faust has
been named to the National Wrestling Coaches Association's 2005
All-Academic Team Friday. The heavyweight was one of 64 honored
by the NWCA and one of three from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Faust finished the 2005 season with a 30-7 overall record in 2005,
with a Tech school record tying 19-1 dual meet record. He also
finished third on the team with 72 points scored in dual matches.
He was the 2005 heavyweight Champion and was a first-time NCAA
Tournament qualifier. Faust did not compete 2004, taking an Olympic
redshirt to train for the Athens Games. He qualified for the trials
by winning the Central Regional Qualifier in Laramie, WY. He defeated
Jason Still of Wyoming, 3-1, in the gold medal match at 120 kgs
(264.5 lbs.). Most recently at the Senior Nationals in Las Vegas,
Faust placed fifth at 120 kg.
MASON WRESTLING RECEIVES ACADEMIC HONOR
George Mason among top 30 teams - academic excellence; David Emison
named All-Academic Team
FAIRFAX, Va. (May 11, 2005) - The National Wrestling Coaches
Association (NWCA) announced Tuesday (May 10) its NWCA Top 30
Division I All-Academic Teams and George Mason made the elite
list, ranking eighth overall, marking its first top 10 finish.
This is the second consecutive season Mason's joined the all-academic
rankings, jumping ahead nine spots and making a significant improvement
from last year's 17th-place showing. Other teams in the top 10
include Brown, Princeton, Stanford and Columbia. Among the approximately
89 Division I wrestling programs, the Patriots' eighth-place rating
was the second highest among schools that compete in the Colonial
Athletic Association (CAA). Sacred Heart, which also competes
in the CAA, was the NWCA's top academic program with a team grade-point-average
(GPA) of 3.1055. Mason's team GPA of 3.0875 is an improvement
from last year's 2.9657 cumulative mark and is ahead of such programs
as Cornell, Michigan, Harvard, Virginia, UPenn and CAA runner-up
Rider. "This is a well deserved honor for our program,"
expressed head coach Brian Shaffer, who just completed his tenth
season at Mason. "We have a great group of student-athletes
who are always striving to be the best in everything they do.
To be ranked among the nation's elite is quite an achievement
and something that the university and local community can be very
proud of. With most of them returning next year, we expect to
continue this success both on and off the mat." George Mason's
David Emison (Stafford, Va./North Stafford) also received scholarly
honors as one of 64 student-athletes selected to the NWCA Division
I All-Academic Team, earning a 3.27 GPA. Emison, a sophomore,
has yet to declare a major. A two-year starter at 133 pounds,
Emison concluded the 2004-05 season leading the team in overall
victories, posting a 27-11 mark. He placed fourth at the CAA Championships
and finished the year 5-2 in CAA dual matches and 11-3 in overall
dual meets. Nineteen of Emison's 27 victories were via pin fall
(4), technical fall or major decision. He led the Patriots in
technical fall and major decision wins with 10 and five, respectively.
To be eligible for the NWCA Top 30 Division I All-Academic Team,
schools must submit the cumulative GPA's of the 10 starters that
participated in their respective tournament hampionships along
with two alternates. Individual academic honors are given to those
student-athletes who are either NCAA qualifiers and have achieved
a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or individuals who won a minimum of sixty
percent of their matches and achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2
or above.

GWU Wrestling Class Headlined By Four State Champions By Seth Mikel
BOILING SPRINGS The Gardner-Webb wrestling program has signed
seven student athletes to National Letters of Intent, head coach
Dick Wince announced on Friday. The group has five combined state
championships and will join the Bulldog roster in the fall of
2005. The incoming class spans six states along the Eastern seaboard
and will provide a substantial amount of depth to the low and
middle-weight classes in the upcoming season. "This is no
doubt the best recruiting class in the history of the program,
Wince stated. "These great athletes add depth in the lower
and middle weights. This class has the ability to continue the
ascent to the upper levels of Division I wrestling that our veterans
have begun. We are expecting them to step right into the program
and contribute immediately. Cortney Roberts (Spencer HS / Van
Etten, NY) and Matt Taylor (Colonial Forge HS / Stafford, VA)
will wrestle at 125 pounds, while Chad Cotterman (Walkersville
HS / Frederick, MD), Paul Florio (LaSalle Institute / Troy, NY)
and Rob Tate (East Gaston HS / Gastonia, NC) will compete at 133
or 141, Rich Boland (George Walton HS / Marietta, GA) could see
time at 149 or 157 and J.J. Davis (Byrnes HS / Duncan, SC) will
give GWU another strong competitor in the 165-pound class. Boland,
a two-time Georgia state champion, finished his prep career with
a second-place showing in the state tournament at 135 pounds in
2005. The Marietta, Ga., native also took second place in his
freshman campaign before winning the state championship in 2003
and 2004. Boland posted a 43-8 mark during his senior year and
went 161-19 over his four-year career. Boland is projected to
compete at 149 or 157 pounds for Gardner-Webb. Cotterman should
contend for time in the 133 or 141 pound classes at the collegiate
level after turning in second-place finishes in the state of Maryland
in 2004 and 2005 at 135 pounds. Cotterman is a four-time regional
champion and state qualifier and a three-time county champion.
The Walkersville High School standout ripped off a 38-3 record
in his final prep season and was honored as the 2005 Frederick
News Post Wrestler of the Year as well as being named to Maryland,s
2005 Senior Team. Davis, the 2005 South Carolina Wrestler of the
Year, should make an immediate impact for the Bulldogs. Davis
won the South Carolina state title at 160 pounds as a senior after
turning in runner-up finishes at 152 pounds in 2004 and 140 pounds
in 2003. The Duncan, S.C., native is a two-time member of the
South Carolina Junior National Team and owns a career record of
146 wins to just seven losses after going 32-1 in his final prep
season. Davis will be asked to move up to the 165-pound division
in his first collegiate season at Gardner-Webb. Florio will bring
a New York state championship with him to Boiling Springs this
fall after marching to a 44-2 mark and a state title during his
senior season. Florio won 193 high school matches over his career
and was named as a FILA Cadet All-American in 2002. The LaSalle
Institute standout is a two-time New York Section II champ and
a five-time New York Section II place winner. Florio is projected
to compete at 141 pounds for GWU this fall. Roberts is also a
New York product and hails from Spencer High School. Roberts took
fourth in New York,s Section IV during his final prep season after
finishing second in the section in 2004. In 2004, Roberts won
the New York state championship in Freestyle and Greco-Roman,
and was a member of the New York Junior National Team. Roberts
went 30-6 as a senior and 133-29 over the course of his prep career
and will compete at 125 pounds at the collegiate level for the
Bulldogs. Tate is the fourth member of the signing class to have
a state championship after winning the 119-pound weight class
title in 2004. Tate was the runner-up at 125 pounds in 2005 and
also placed at the North Carolina state championships during his
sophomore campaign. The local product out of East Gaston High
School in Gastonia, N.C., is a four-time state qualifier, a three-time
member of the North Carolina Cadet and Junior National Teams and
a Freestyle and Greco-Roman state champion. Tate is projected
to wrestle in the 133, or 141-pound weight class for Gardner-Webb.
Taylor signed with GWU in November, and is a four-time place winner
in the state of Virginia. Taylor possesses a career mark of 153-36
and went 45-6 during his senior year. The Stafford, Va., native
took sixth in the state at 103 pounds in 2002, fifth at 119 in
2003, third at 119 in 2004 and second at 125 pounds in 2005. Among
Taylor,s list of accomplishments are being a three-time member
of the Junior National Team in Freestyle and Greco-Roman, a FILA
Cadet All-American in Greco-Roman in 2003 and a Virginia Freestyle
and Greco-Roman state champion in 2003. Taylor was ranked in the
fall as one of the top 125-pound recruits in the nation by
Intermatwrestle.com, and should make an immediate impact
for the Bulldogs. The seven newcomers will join Gardner-Webb,s
16 returners from a team that posted a 6-11 mark during the 2004-2005
campaign.

Daren Burns wins bronze medal at Pan American Championship 5/6/2005
GUATEMALA CITY UNC Greensboro sophomore Daren Burns won a bronze medal in men,s freestyle at the 20th annual Pan American Wrestling Championship. Burns was selected by USA Wrestling to represent the United States in the competition that took place April 28-April 30 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. "Being part of an event with such an elite group of wrestlers and do as well as he did is an incredible achievement for Daren, said UNCG head wrestling coach Tom Shifflet. "His confidence level should be much greater next season. "Sometimes just being around world class competition can bring an athlete to new heights. Daren rose to the occasion and showed off the skills it took to bring home a medal, said Shifflet. It will be a trip that he will not soon forget. Burns got off to a good start with a win in his first match over Jose Villalobos (Venezuala) 1-0; 1-0. He lost his second match to the eventual gold medalist Michel Batista (Cuba) 0-4; 2-3, but in his final match, Burns tied Arnulfo Hernandez (Columbia) 0-1, 1-0, 1-1 to garner the bronze in the 96 kilogram (211.5 pounds) weight class. Burns, the native of Catawba, NC, completed the 2004-05 season with a 30-6 record for the Spartans. Burns claimed his second Southern Conference title in as many years at the 197-pound weight class, and reached the quarterfinal round at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, MO. Burns, an All-SoCon selection this season, also captured his weight class at the 2004 Southern Scuffle. In addition, he finished with a team-high ten pins and was the only Spartan to go undefeated in SoCon bouts. USA Wrestling is recognized by the United States Olympic Committee as the National Governing Body for the sport of amateur wrestling in the United States.

Editor,s Notes& Announcements: This issue is a week later than planned due to computer malfunctions. Don,t think herniated discs are contagious but the TDR Office,s PC also slipped a disc, this spring. Thus, we are later than planned in announcing that the recipient of the Michael Stokes Award will be Anthony Taylor of Rocky Mount. The Lee Carroll Award will be presented to Jimmy McNamara of Wilson Hunt. More details are included in the High School news section of this issue. We had TDR Top 12 Shirts and State Finals DVDs at the Smithfield-Selma Tourney on the 30th. It was a small event but well run. They are looking to host another tourney in June. They had a car wash and yard sale to go along with the event. The TDR presented the Top 12 Top Wrestler Awards to Frank Hickman of Laney and David Pelsang of White Oak at the Wilmington Tournament on the 7th. We will be at UNC-Pembroke this weekend with shirts and DVDs. Some High School certificates have been mailed and the rest are ready to be mailed. If you have not received yours e-mail us the best mailing address for us to send the certificates. C.B. Aycock was to be presented the TDR Top Team Award at a home baseball game but the rains last Friday postponed that. Send in news of college signings and plans of seniors to pass along to others.
We welcome polite input and corrections. Note embedded links in the Index below. Send news, results, & articles on-line to us. Until later, Martin Fleming, Editor

-------------------------------------------- Letters to the Editor -----------------------------------------------
Martin,
Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to make these tapes available as well as serving as one of the commentators for the highlight video. We taped it the last time a highlight tape was televised a couple years ago. I clearly remember how the finals match between McKinney and Long inspired my son to work hard at this sport. I hope this year's tape will have the same impact on younger wrestlers throughout the state. It's a great sport. Thanks for your contributions. I'll be sending you an order soon.

National Federation adopts new wrestling rules on weight
management
INDIANAPOLIS High school wrestlers will have to follow a more
stringent program to prevent rapid weight loss. Starting in 2006-07,
wrestlers may not lose more than one-and-a-ahalf percent of their
weight per week and must maintain body fat of at least seven percent
for boys and 12 percent for girls. Also, their weight-loss plans
must be monitored weekly by the schools. The changes were approved
by the board of directors of the National Federation of State
High School Associations. The federation is based in Indianapolis
and represents about 18-thousand high schools and some 13 (m)
million students in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The issue surfaced in 1997 after three college wrestlers died
as a result of ailments attributed to excessive weight-loss in
an attempt to reach a lower weight class for competition. The
N-C-A-A clamped down the next year, and since then, high school
athletic associations in at least 18 states also have set standards
for the amount of weight wrestlers may lose. The action by the
N-F-H-S this week makes it mandatory for all its member state
associations, including Indiana.

Cornely, Dudziak Turn In Successful Showings At U.S. Freestyle Nationals
Cornely earns Freestyle All-America honors April 19, 2005
EVANSTON, Ill. - Blue Devil senior Frank Cornely and freshman Konrad Dudziak represented the Duke wrestling team at the United States Freestyle Nationals over the weekend. The event is considered to be the most elite college freestyle event in the nation. Cornely took home a sixth-place finish at 185 pounds, garnering freestyle All-America status. Dudziak also turned in an impressive performance, finishing 12th at 211.5 pounds. Cornely's journey started with a pigtail match against Kurt Brenner of the Angry Fish Wrestling Club, which he won, two periods to none. He followed with a dominating performance against Justin Peterson of Wisconsin Wrestling Club and a low-scoring affair against Doug Umbehauer of Rider Wrestling Club. In the round of 16, Cornely continued his perfect period streak, winning both periods against Alex Pavlenko of Sunkist Kids, each by a 2-0 score. In the quarterfinals, he won in similar fashion, 1-0 and 3-0, over Keith Gavin of Pittsburgh Wrestling Club. That set up a semifinal match-up with two-time NCAA finalist Ben Askren of Missouri. Cornely started off with a first period victory, 2-0, but Askren turned the tables by tying the second period at 1-1 and then dominating the third period to send Cornely to the consolation bracket. >From there, the Duke senior wrestled the third-place finisher at the NCAA Championships, Jake Herbert of Northwestern. Herbert took advantage of his home territory with a strong two period victory. Cornely's placing match was closer, but he fell to Tyrell Todd of the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club in three periods, leaving him with an impressive sixth place finish and a 5-3 record for the weekend. Dudziak, a freshman who was fresh off a national title in his native Poland, also had a terrific weekend. He started out with a two-period win over Stanford's Ian Bork. His next match came against Joe Gulotta of Wildcat Wrestling Club, who managed to defeat Dudziak in two periods. The long march through the consolations for the Blue Devil began with dominating wins of 3-0, 6-0 and 1-0, 7-0. Dudziak continued his hot streak, winning a 4-3, 6-0 match over Jarred Massey. The run would end there, however, as Dudziak lost a tight, 1-0, 1-1 match to eventual eighth-place finisher Justin Bronson of the Minnesota Storm. Overall, Dudziak went 4-2 on the weekend.

4/18/2005 -- Newberry wrestling welcomes 29 new grapplers to the fold for 2005 by Ryan Gross, Newberry Sports Information
NEWBERRY, S.C. The Newberry College wrestling program is proud to announce the signing of 29 grapplers that will represent the Indians on the mat in 2005, as the team makes its transition to full NCAA Division II status. "I am very pleased with the young men who have pledged their services to Newberry College, said head wrestling coach <http://www.newberryindians.com/profile.asp?playerID=425>Jason Valek. "This group will be a solid part of our foundation for years to come and I look forward to the others that will join them in the near future. This past year marked the first time Newberry College had ever fielded a wrestling team, as the Indians wrestled competitively on the club level. Newberry will have enough wrestlers next year to compete on both the club wrestling circuit, and the Division II level. The Indians had a very successful inaugural season, as Newberry sent no less than nine participants to the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) National Tournament. Indian grappler <http://www.newberryindians.com/profile.asp?playerID=417>Quinn Tolbert (Summerville, S.C.) took home a national championship in his respective weight class, as the Newberry team went on to take fifth place overall in the match.

S.C. spawns two national champs By JIM McLAURIN
Staff Writer
Before this past weekend, you could count on one hand the number
of South Carolina wrestlers to win collegiate national championships.
To get two in one day was a trifle out of the ordinary. "They
wanted me to give a speech at halftime of the girls basketball
game, said Dutch Fork graduate Careef Robertson, who won the NCAA
Division II 174-pound weight class title in Omaha, Neb., on Saturday.
"I don,t know how many pictures they took for the newspaper.
They wanted me to bring out my plaque, and I got interviewed by
the school president and everything. They had quite a little deal
for me.
Robertson, a junior at Anderson College, decisioned Travis Krinke of Minnesota-Mankato, 6-4, in overtime in the championship match. Rest of Story at <http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/sports/11166588.htm>http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/sports/11166588.htm

highest draft choice since running back Dick Leftridge was selected
third overall by the Steelers in the 1966 draft, and he is only
the sixth top-10 pick in West Virginia history and the eighth
first-round selection. Friday, another West Virginia University
athlete named Jones took the first step towards a possible career
in pro football. Greg Jones, a three-time NCAA wrestling champion
for the Mountaineers, took part in a private workout with the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones said he worked out for about an hour
and did a series of strength, speed and agility tests. Jones said
he is not allowed to discuss specifics of the workout, such as
his 40-yard dash time, but he came away feeling confident he performed
well. The Steelers must have liked what they saw because Jones
was invited back for another workout May 8th. "I was under
the impression they came away fairly impressed with my workout,
Jones said Sunday afternoon. "It,s exciting to have this
opportunity. My focus has always been wrestling and I have goals
in wrestling but if this opportunity continues I will do what
I can to make the most of it. Jones, a native of Slickville, Pa.,
is 6 feet tall and wrestled at 174 and 184 in college, but hasn,t
played football since his days at Greensburg Salem High School
in western Pennsylvania, where he was an all-conference defensive
back. Despite his lack of experience playing college football,
Jones is an intriguing prospect because of his athletic ability.
Antonio Gates, a former Kent State college basketball player who
never played college football, became an All-Pro tight end with
the San Diego Chargers this past season. Numerous other college
athletes who did not play college football are also receiving
private tryouts. Mercer University basketball forward Wesley Duke
and Pittsburgh basketball player Chevon Troutman are among others
who are receiving interest from NFL teams. Former Cal State Bakersfield
wrestler and NCAA champion Stephen Neal is a member of the Super
Bowl champion New England Patriots, and former Pitt-Johnstown
wrestler Carleton Haselrig played four seasons in the NFL with
the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets. Brock Lesnar, an NCAA
champion with Minnesota, went to training camp with the Minnesota
Vikings last August but was cut late in camp. Of the 14 players
who never played college football but played in the NFL, 11 were
basketball players, two wrestlers and one Renaldo Nehemiah who
played with the San Francisco 49ers - was a world class hurdler.
Jones however, is much different than Neal, Haselrig and Lesnar.
Those players were all interior lineman. Jones will be attempting
to make it as a member of the defensive backfield, as either a
cornerback or a safety. He said recently that two years ago he
ran a 4.45 40 yard dash. Zeke Jones, an assistant coach at West
Virginia, thinks Greg Jones has the necessary tools to succeed.
"He's all athlete," Jones recently told USA Today.
"Everybody (in the NFL) is looking for a burst of speed.
That's exactly what Greg is." Jones, who said he knows Pacman
Jones but hasn,t had a chance to talk with him about his chances
in the NFL, or playing defensive back at a higher level, said
he,d by lying if he said he hasn,t envisioned a future playing
pro football, and maybe someday covering a guy like West Virginia
native Randy Moss, now of the Oakland Raiders. "I think anybody
who plays football at some level dreams of what it would be like
to play in the NFL, says Jones. "It,s something I have thought
about and it,s something I would like to pursue if given the opportunity.
I have to keep things in perspective though and hope for the best.
In January Jones was honored as the recipient of the Hardman Award
as the 2004 West Virginia state Amateur Athlete of the Year. He
will be recognized May 1 by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association
at the 59th annual Victory Awards Dinner in Fairmont. "Based
on his accomplishment Greg would have to be on the short list
among the greatest athletes in school history, said West Virginia
coach Craig Turnbull back in January. Jones won the award in balloting
with four other finalists including runner-up Pat Carter of Huntington,
the 2000 honoree who extended his West Virginia Amateur Golf Tournament
title run to a national record 10 in a row. Other finalists were
WVU football quarterback Rasheed Marshall, the Big East Conference
offensive player of the year; Mountain State's Zach Moss, the
NAIA national basketball player of the year; and Marshall football
lineman Johnathan Goddard, the Mid-America Conference defensive
player of the year and All-America honoree. Goddard was selected
by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft
on Sunday. Jones has been training in preparation for the upcoming
U.S. Senior Nationals in Las Vegas this weekend and appears to
have a bright future in wrestling. However, he said an abdomen
strain has slowed his preparation and he,s not sure if he will
compete or not. "He has competed with, and fared very well,
in USA Wrestling competition against the best in the land, said
Turnbull. "Greg has been to the Olympic and World training
camps and has his sights set on the 2008 Olympic Games."
That,s the long-term plan. The short-term plan could include a
chance at making it in pro football. "All I can do know is
prepare for the next workout and give it my best shot, Jones said.
"I just have to make the most of the next opportunity.

RPW Featured in Sports Illustrated, March 21st Issue
This week, RealProWrestling is featured in the leading national sports magazine Sports Illustrated, through an exceptional full-page article written by journalist Bill Syken. Article excerpt: For decades amateur wrestlers have resented the "professional" version of their sport -- not just for its choreographed action, bad acting and buxom ring valets but also because that being a part of that spectacle was the only way to make big money for doing anything even resembling wrestling. The amateurs, with their iron discipline and abs to match, remained true to their sport and spent their careers mostly grappling for medals. "Look at baseball, football or basketball players," says Jeff Prescott, a two-time NCAA champion who now coaches high school and club wrestling in South Florida. "I'm not taking anything away from those athletes, but I know how tough my sport is. I know not one of those guys could make it through my wrestling [training] room for one week." For more, see the March 21st issue of Sports llustrated.

The Takedown Report # 12-62 Week of April 18th ,
2005 8 pages
Editor,s Notes& Announcements: A little late this week but we remind all that the State Finals will be on Public Tvthis Saturday. We will have copies of that show and full division tapes available for sale. Details on the State Finals Video Tapes sales are included in this issue. Also this weekend is the first of New Bern,s spring tournaments. With the spring season the TDR newsletters will get shorter but we will continue with a weekly schedule.
We would like to know the signings and plans of Seniors so we can pass along the news to others. For example Jack McGee of White Oak and #1 at 119 in the Top 12 Rankings will attend the U.S. Naval Academy and run on their cross-country team. The Top 12 Certificates and others are being produced and will be mailed soon. We ask coaches to send us the address that they would like them mailed. The Final College Rankings with TDR Award Plaques to the top wrestlers and certificates to the other ranked wrestlers can be seen at <http://www.geocities.com/tdrcollegetop7/topcarolinascollegewrestlersnamed.html>Top Carolinas College Wrestlers. Shirts can also be mailed along with certificates. If anyone wants a prior certificate re-printed or additional copies let us know. Cost for these just $3.00.
The past two weeks we were able to attend tournaments in West Carteret and Tarboro. The first was a NHSCA National Qualifier. It went fairly well and almost all qualified for the National Open tournament in June and were able to get a full slate of matches in. The one in Tarboro was affected by the weather off shore as some of the tournament staff were unable to leave the island, due to high winds and waves. Yet this did not deter the wrestlers and coaches since the mats were down and the officials present. Being resourceful wrestlers they made the most of it and all were able to get matches in until they go tired.
We welcome polite input and corrections. Note embedded links in the Index below. Send news, results, & articles on-line to us. Until later, Martin Fleming, Editor

Duke,s Cornely ends career at NCAAs by Matt Becker
Frank Cornely,s goal from the beginning of the season was to become an All-American. Duke,s 184-pounder had his chance this weekend but fell two wins short at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in St. Louis. Cornely, who won a pair of matches at nationals last year and two more this weekend, finishes his career with four wins at NCAAs, the most ever for a Duke wrestler. "I would have liked for it to turn out differently, but it just didn,t work out, Cornely said. "Looking back, I did everything I could. I trained as hard as I could. I have no regrets, and I can walk away with my head held high. Cornely opened the tournament with a 10-4 first-round loss to No. 12 seed C.B. Dollaway of Arizona State. The loss sent Cornely to the consolation bracket, also known as the wrestle-backs, where he would need to win four straight matches to place in the top eight and earn All-American status. "I think winning that opening match would have really helped for momentum and confidence, head coach Clar Anderson said. "Coming through the wrestle-backs is brutal. Cornely was able to rebound from his opening loss with an 8-5 decision over Old Dominion,s Adam Wright to advance to the second day of the tournament. The win was Cornely,s second over Wright this season. "I was upset about that first loss, but I knew I had to get over it quickly, Cornely said. "I feel like I was mentally ready to wrestle again. Cornely began the second day the way he ended the first. Facing Indiana,s Andy Rios, Cornely survived a high-scoring first period and used a late takedown to earn a 14-13 victory. But Cornely was unable to continue his win streak, falling to No. 10 seed Roger Kish of Minnesota 7-2. The loss brought an end to Cornely,s Duke career.
