Posts Tagged ‘Wednesday Night’

Congratulations on another great tournament Saturday. I want to express my appreciation to all the coaches who were there to support the team in my absence. Here is what is up for the next two weeks.

We have practice today and tomorrow at the normal times.

Wednesday morning from 7:00 to 8:30 we will have a regular practice. Instead of just a run. The Wednesday practice is optional.

This week we will be doing challenge matches today and tomorrow for the South Summit tournament. The information is as follows:

Saturday January 2nd. Meet at 5:20 AM, leave at 5:30 AM. Weigh ins at South Summit at 7:00 AM. This is the first same day weigh in tournament we have had this year. $10.00 per boy. Bring the cash that morning. Plan on all day.

65, 70, 73, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 105, 112, 116, 120, 128, 135, 145, 155, 165, 185, HWT 275.

We are taking one varsity team and supplementing Spanish Fork’s team where they have holes. We can take a few extras so even if you don’t make varsity for this tournament and want to go, please let me know!

The following week, we have club practice on Wednesday night the 30th, Thursday the 31st and Friday January 1st. These are all club practices and are not mandatory. I do expect that if you are going to South Summit, that you come to most of these optional practices.

WOW, is all I can say. I am so proud of the boys, every one of them! This weekend was great. It is not just that we DOMINATED as a team, it was that every wrestler improved and proved that they are paying attention in practice. We had 14 boys go undefeated and we more than doubled our score on every other team. Even our JV team won matches and came down to the last match against experienced varsity wrestlers.

Also so blessed that we all got home safe.

This week’s schedule:

Regular practice today. Moving mats at the end of practice. We will have a mat moved to the Jr. High right after practice. This will be just the one small red mat. The larger mat will stay. I will need one trailer and lots of hands.

Tomorrow: All boys will be excused from school early. This is Jr. High boys that attend the Jr. High schools in Nebo District. I will excuse you from Springville and Mapleton Jr. High at 1:30. You need to be dressed and ready for warm up at 2:00 in the main gym of Mapleton JH. Wrestling starts at 3:15. Regular line brackets, double elimination tournament with the following weights:

75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 145, 160, 195, Hvy

Wrestling will be done when it is done. Hopefully by 6:30 or so.

Remember grade school kids, club kids, kids not in Nebo district are not able to compete at this one. No cost. Weigh ins will be tonight.

I would like to invite any parents and 5/6th graders to help on tables and officiating if possible. Please let me know.

Wednesday regular practice with a 4:30 stop time.

Wednesday night Salem Hills VS Maple Mountain High School at Maple Mountain High. JV at 5:30, Varsity at 7:00.

Thursday and Friday regular practice.

Saturday a club tournament at Provo High School for all ages K-9.

First I want to say congratulations to our team. As was expected, we were able to win both trophies at the Salt Lake Slam. This is a national level tournament and we were, as a club able to win both of the older division championship trophies.

Another busy week for everyone.

Monday, Regular practice for Jr. High and Club. During club portion on Monday and Tuesday we will have the more experienced Spanish Fork wrestlers in our room with us to help us get ready for the Delta Duals.

Tuesday, same as Monday. Regular practice times.

Wednesday: Regular early start, but ending practice early. Practice will end at 4:30 PM to get ready for wrestle till you drop for the younger kids.

Wednesday night I will need 7-9 grade officials to officiate kids matches. I will need five officials that night from 5:00 till 9:00. They will be paid.

Thursday is a short practice again due to the high school dual meets. Maple Mountain is wrestling Springville at Springville. 5:00 JV and 7:00 Varsity. I would like everyone to be there if possible. You must wear your team t-shirt that night to get in for free.

Friday. Coach Killian and I will both be at the high school tournament on Friday. We will have practice on Friday for sure. It will be for those wrestlers who are traveling to Delta this week. They will be in charge of moving mats to the stage after practice, and they will need to make weight. A Coach (whomever runs practice that night) will need to weigh in each wrestler during Friday’s practice.

The tournament on Saturday at Delta is for those that make the varsity and JV teams. I will be willing to take some extra kids in case of injury, or in case there are extra spots on other teams.

Spanish Fork will be filling in some of our weights and we will be filling in some of their weights so we can collectively take more guys.

If you are in 6th grade and below, I suggest you wrestle at Spanish Fork this weekend. register on trackwrestling.com like every other week. $10.00. You will put in your own honest weight. No weigh ins at Spanish Fork.

The Delta meet is also $10.00 per boy. If you make the travel team, you need to bring $10.00 to coach LaMont.

Car pool will meet at 5:50 AM on Saturday for Delta. Leaving the lot at 6:00 AM.
