Intensity... that's what it takes to become a Champion"
is a new website maintained by wrestling coaches for wrestling coaches. This website hopes to promote the sport of amateur wrestling by helping wrestling coaches be more effective and efficient. It is not about reporting results, creating rankings nor selecting All-Star teams as there are many great websites that already provide those services. It is about posting technique, promotional ideas, practice tips - anything that might make the job of wrestling coaches easier. This website will be effective only if coaches CONTRIBUTE ideas and articles. So please:
The Northwest Missouri State University Wrestling Team will be hosting an open house May 8 for wrestlers interested attending NWMSU. Wrestlers will have an opportunity to take guided tours of the campus, meet with an academic advisor and/or professors in their department of interest, meet with team members and coaches and get a glimpse of the Maryville community. Interested wrestlers should email David Nugent at northwestwrestling@hotmail.com or call (660)349-9257 to confirm a time to visit.

I have been helping create this new website: http://totalleague.com where coaches/parents can VERY easily create a website for their team. The website makes it easy to centralize communication with your team members, parents, and fans.
A few of the things you can do for Free:
- Create breaking news items
- Post your team schedule and results
- Share team roster and positions
- Post your team photos
- Create your own unique site name
Sorry about sounding like an advertisement but from my experiences I think many of you will benefit from using this website.
i use TotalLeague.com for my team's website and i've got to say that it is the easiest website that i have ever used. I had my website up and running in 5 minutes

PS all coaches watch your behavior—don’t want to be on tape acting inappropriately.
Hi, I am looking for a way to get in touch with Ben Perkins. He is from Omaha Nebraska, and I heard that he is currently living there. He wrestled at Creighton Prep back in the late 90's. He then went on to wrestle at Iowa State University. I would be thankful if someone could get me in contact with him. Anyone that can help me with this can reach me at cc_fisher@hotmail.com
Ben is in the Omaha area,he is coaching the Exploradries youth wrestling club but sorry don't have a contact #.More than likely I will see him this weekend in Tulsa and I'll let him know you are trying to contact him.
Just wanted to spread the word that THROWBACK got all the way up to #176 on the Barnes and Noble best seller list. It peaked there last Friday night. For a little while there was a book about HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING on the charts. There's going to be some some media exposure soon so I'm thinking maybe we can do it again!
Read about the book, read it for free, or buy the book via:
"Throwback", a new novel about high school wrestling, will be released in the next 6 weeks (too late for Christmas though). It will be available at amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and most other online retail outlets.

Now, I was up. I had deliberately avoided thinking about my opponent, Dave Charter. I did know that he was a senior, and had won most of his matches this year. He was very big for the weight class. When I went for the handshake during introductions I noted that he was several inches taller than me. Like so many of my opponents of late, it seemed that he had dropped a lot of weight to make 171.
We circled each other warily as the match started, each knowing that the outcome was important to our own team. I shot first, with bad results. I grabbed a leg, but he sprawled, kicking his legs backwards and landing most of his weight on my back. With my face exposed, he slammed me with a vicious cross-face. I thought it was flagrant, but the referee didn’t, so I continued to struggle. I was still holding onto his leg, but he was still cross facing hard and was slowly leveraging his body behind me. My nose hurt badly from the blow I’d received but I tried to block that out. After 20 more seconds, I couldn’t hold him back any longer. He whipped behind me and earned 2 points for a takedown.
At that point I became aware that my nose, which had born the brunt of the cross face, had begun dripping blood. I looked up at the referee to show him, and he immediately called for injury time. I had only wrestled a minute, but I was already out of breath as I walked back towards the bench.
The trainer checked to make sure my nose wasn’t broken, and tried to stop the bleeding. Then, she pushed some cotton balls up my nostrils to try to contain any more blood that flowed. This, I knew from experience, would contribute to my fatigue, because it would make breathing more difficult. I tried to talk with Coach Miles as best I could, but it was difficult with the trainer checking my nose, and my heavy breathing. As all this was going on, I watched someone I didn’t recognize clean my blood off the mat with a towel and a spray bottle. I’d bled more than I had realized.
“I don’t think I can go 6 minutes with this guy,” I gasped. “I’m already beat.”
“You’re just not getting much air, is all,” he said. It was more than that, though. I was worn out even before the cotton balls were shoved up my nose. “We need something here, Ben, just do your best. You’re better than he is,” he said firmly. I wasn’t so sure.
“He’s so damn big. I’ll have try to end it early, that’s the only way,” I said without bravado, still breathing hard.
I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Having been taken down, I was on bottom, of course. I managed to stand up, and Charter stood with me, locking his hands around my waist. Perfect, I thought. I took four steps forward, increasing in speed, making him think that I was trying to break free or simply heading out of bounds for a fresh start. Then, I grabbed his right wrist with my left hand, and pivoted hard to my right. As I swung around I stuck my right arm between his legs, while retaining my hold on his other arm. Simultaneously I sat towards the mat. He had no choice but to follow my motion, first forward and then face-first toward the mat, because he hadn’t had a chance to let go.
I had executed a perfect standing switch, and Charter hadn’t seen it coming. How could he? In my day switches more common, but of course the standing switch less so. Just 2 years later, not many high school wrestlers were using the move. I hadn’t seen a standing switch in years. I hadn’t even tried one in practice since coming to Chapel Forge, let alone in a match. I’m sure my own teammates were as surprised as anybody else to see it.
The beauty of a standing switch was the whipping action that sent the other wrestler face first into the mat at lightning speed. As that was happening, he would instinctively be concerned with self-preservation rather than continuing his attack on me. If I had caused his body to slam to the mat as it did under almost any other circumstances I would be penalized for it. In this case, however, there was no penalty warranted. He chose to hold on, and so “followed me to the mat,” as it is stated in the rulebook.
The jolt usually provided a brief window for the switcher to attack an opponent who has dropped his guard. Not only that, the force with which he strikes the mat momentarily stuns the wrestler, making him more vulnerable. That’s just what happened that night. Charter slammed into the mat and came to rest on his hands and knees. I went in for the kill as he paused to regain his senses, throwing in one of my favorite pinning combinations, a nearside cradle. I felt little resistance until he was on his back, and by then it was too late. The referee had called the pin. Two consecutive first period pins had enabled us to take the lead again, by 24 – 20. The gym got really loud after the pin was called.
After I came off the mat desperate for air, I frantically pulled the cotton from my nose and threw it to the floor. More blood began to dribble out, and the trainer ordered me to lie down on the mats behind the bench. As I lay there I noticed that one side of the gym had grown very quiet. My nose, and one of my cheeks now, was throbbing and pulsing with pain.
We never relinquished our lead. In fact, we won two of the final three matches after mine, by decision. In one of the most shocking upsets of the season so far, Chapel Forge Township beat Peach Valley convincingly, by a score of 30 to 23. PV lost a few more matches that year. It turned out that this was their weakest team in years. We didn’t know that at the time, so that didn’t take away any of the luster from our win.
There was a lot of whooping and hollering in the locker room, but not by me. I couldn’t believe my nose wasn’t broken, and even went back to the trainer. She assured me that it wasn’t broken, but warned me that it would be quite sore for a week or so. “You’ll probably have a black eye in the morning, if not two,” she said. She handed me a fresh baggy of ice, which I gently applied when I had a spare hand while showering and dressing. As I was leaving, Robert Mendez reminded me about the party that most team members would be at later. “You’re coming, right?” he asked.
“I’ll see how this feels,” I said, lifting the bag of ice off of my nose, “but if I’m alright I’ll be there.”
“Are you kidding?” he said. “I wish I had a face like that tonight, the girls are going to eat you up! Make sure you bring the bag of ice,” he laughed.
I left the locker room in high spirits. My entire face hurt, not just because of the cross-face but also because some of my mat burns had been rubbed raw, but none of that mattered at the moment because we had won a big match. I would go home, clean up, and actually drop by that party.
When I turned the corner in the gym lobby, I was startled. Judy was there, by herself, leaning against the wall. “Hi Ben, you were so great tonight!” she gushed. “Is your nose still bleeding?” When I got close enough, she saw my nose, and the ice bag that was in my hand. My nose was already turning a bluish color, and was a bit swollen. I think she was taken aback. “Are you okay?” she asked, with what sounded like genuine concern. I assured her that I was.
It felt unbelievably good to know that she had come to the match after all. The fact that she was outside the locker room meant that she’d come mostly to see me. That felt even better. “I’m so glad you came,” I said. “I looked for you but it was hard to see, there were so many people.”
“We came late, and we ended up sitting in a bunch of fans from the other team. We had to keep kind of quiet,” she laughed. “Are you sure you’re OK?” she asked again, the concern returning to her voice.
“Yeah, I’m alright,” I said. “Who did you come here with?” I asked, looking around. There didn’t seem to be anybody with her.
“My friends Karen and Paula,” she explained. “They already left. I was kind of hoping you could give me a ride.”
“Of course, I’d love to,” I said with all honesty. I was touched that she had come, and even more so because she had waited for me afterwards.
“Are you still going to that party?” she asked shyly.
“Yeah, I just told the guys that I’d be there, after I cleaned up a little bit,” I said, suddenly hopeful.
“Am I still invited?” She asked meekly.
My heart soared. “Of course. Did you change your mind?” I said. She nodded in the affirmative. She certainly didn’t seem like she was dying to go to the party. That was obvious.
We walked outside. “My car is over here. Do you need to go home first?”
“No, this is as ready as I get,” she said.
“Sorry, I just meant--“
“I know, I’m just giving you a hard time,” she said playfully.
Now, I had a dilemma on my hands, a real dilemma. Yet another rule of mine was in danger of being broken. I had always known that anybody who set foot in my condo would know pretty easily that I lived there alone. It was rather small, and there was no evidence of any other resident, especially a parent. For that reason, nobody had ever been allowed in. Until now, that had never been a problem. Tonight, for the first time, it was cramping my style. I had a choice: we could drive straight to the party, or I could take Judy back to my place, where she could wait while I did some much-need cleaning up. It was an easy decision for me to make.
Well I was thinking about sending my sons but don't have any info so I guess we'll just blowout it off just like NE USA is blowing us off.
I know there was a thread on the Dominques boys wrestling for Iowa on the huskermat forum now we know why they went to the state of Iowa because they have their poop in one group and plan way ahead of time and the wrestling community knows what's going on unlike NE.
I am sorry about your situation and I know that this response is very late, that is because I do not visit this forum very often. I know that I should more, but at times I am too busy to be following all the different forums. The forums are NOT a good site to get information anyway. The Nebraska USA website has the State Directors phone numbers and email addresses. If you need information call or email the State Directors. Most Directors are good about responding to calls and emails. I always respond to my calls and emails even if I do not know the information. If I do not know what you are asking for, I find out the information and get back to you.
The bottom line is if you want information use the right resources and forums are not good or reliable sources for information whether it is this forum, huskermat, prepreport, themat, or any other forum. Use the phone or email and you can usually get a response within 24-48 hours.
The first and only nationwide wrestling search is available for entries now. If you would like your team, state or any other link that is wrestling related stop in and add it today. All we ask is for a return link on your team or state site. Thank you http://matclub.com/sumo/index.html
Has anyone had any experience with the website, www.summerwrestlingcamps.com? It features a handful of Nebraska wrestlers. Who's heading it and has anyone booked any camps through the site?
Does anyone know of a youth camp in the Omaha area in the first 2 weeks of August? I'd like to find a camp for my 14 year old son. I'll be visiting my inlaws, so as much contact information about the camp that you can provide would be appreciated.
