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.
Ken Chertow has announced a Wrestling Shoes Sales. It is time to clean out our inventory and we have dropped the prices on our discontinued shoes!
