The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team had three individuals earn Scholar All-America honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association this week. Juniors Drew Nicholson and Franco Valdes and freshman Weston Wichman were among the 191 individuals representing 59 institutions to be recognized by the organization for their work in the classroom. "It's my honor on behalf of the NWCA and our Board of Directors to recognize this outstanding list of team and individual award winners," said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. "These athletes had to navigate a season full of unknowns and the fact they were able to continue to excel in the classroom is a testament to the attack mentality that wrestlers bring to every aspect of their lives."This is just the fourth time in school history UTC has had three individuals recognized in the same season. It is the most since Sean Boyle, Jared Johnson and John Shrader won the honors in 2014-15. Nicholson represented the Mocs at the NCAA Tournament after winning the Southern Conference title at 165 pounds. He was the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the SoCon Tournament and is graduating with a degree in Engineering Management in the summer.Valdes was an All-SoCon performer with a 9-0 dual record during the regular season. An Academic All-SoCon selection, he is the current recipient of the Nancy Curtis Noblit Scholarship.Wichman was the SoCon Freshman of the Year after going 9-3 at 157 pounds in the regular season. An Exercise Science major, he pinned two opponents and held a 5-2 record in conference duals.All three Mocs are set to return to the lineup for the 2021-22 season. Head coach Kyle Ruschell just wrapped up his third year after leading the Mocs to an 8-4 dual record in 2020-21.

Tullahoma News... Desilets commits to keep wrestling at St. Andrews By Zach Birdsong Sports Editor May 19, 2021 Updated 7 hrs ago Divine Desilets recently signed her letter of intent to continue wrestling at St. Andrews University in North Carolina. Divine was a three-time state medalist for Tullahoma and was joined by her family and coaches when she signed. Front row, from left: Marie Desilets, Divine and Barbara Desilets. Back row: Tori Feuerbacher and Jenna Morris. Zach Birdsong Graduation took place Friday night, and Tullahoma High School senior Divine Desilets recently announced what her next step will be, as she signed her letter of intent to continue wrestling for St. Andrew’s University in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Desilets was a three-time state medalist for Tullahoma, including this past season, which saw her take second in the 103-pound weight class. During her time wrestling in Tullahoma, Desilets reached All-American status. Desilets and Jane Allen, who graduated in 2019, are the only three-time state medalists for the Lady Wildcats’ program. Katy Champion is the lone four-time state medalist for the THS girls wrestling team. “Divine has been a vital part of program,” said THS Head Coach Jenna Morris. “She’s by far one of the most dedicated girls we’ve had in our program and has led in that regard. Not only is she a good wrestler, but she learned to be a leader. She was very instrumental in our program, especially in this past year to get us through the COVID of it all.” Divine Desilets lifts Science Hill’s Ella Rimer during the pair’s matchup in the semifinals at the TSSAA Individual State Tournament back in February. Desilets took second place in the 103-pound weight class at this year’s tournament in Chattanooga. Zach Birdsong photo Desilets will be joining a new women’s wrestling program at St. Andrews University. While in school, she said she plans to major in pre-law, but said she might switch to forensics. “I’m pretty excited,” Desilets said. “They just started their girls program, and the coach up there thought it would be a good idea to recruit me, since I’m an All-American. He thought that would be a good image to display for the team.” Her new head coach, Robert Parland, echoed those sentiments. Heading into his first year at St. Andrews, Parland really wanted to make a splash with his recruits. When he watched video of Desilets on the mat, he was impressed. “I looked at her film and she kind of fit my philosophy as a coach,” Parland said. “She’s really adamant and really aggressive on the mat, which is something that I like as far as wrestling goes... I think she’s a really good athlete. I think her having All-American status is something that will really be big for our program in our first year.” During her wrestling career in Tullahoma, Desilets has continually seen success, improving each season that she was a Lady Wildcat. As a sophomore, she finished fifth in the state, before taking third place as a junior in 2020 and capping off this year with a second-place effort. At this year’s TSSAA Individual State Tournament, Desilets wasted little time in picking up a win as she opened things with a quick win by pin. After leading Sequatchie County’s Haven Curtis 3-0, Desilets notched the victory with seven seconds left in the second round. In the semifinals, Desilets followed with a more impressive victory over Science Hill’s Ella Rimer. After two rounds, the Lady Wildcat led Rimer 10-6 and 12-2 later in the third period. Desilets then put the match away and pinned Rimer 52 seconds into the final round to advance to the final, guaranteeing her to finish inside the top two in the state. __________ Hogan continues putting in work during offseason By Zach Birdsong Sports Editor May 20, 2021 Updated 6 hrs ago Liv Hogan hoists the trophy after securing the Ironman championship at Blackman High School on April 17.

Gavin Cagle — from McCallie... Greenfield Recorder 14 Hope StreetGreenfield, MA Northfield Mount Hermon School wrestler Cesar Alvan had the victory of a lifetime on Monday. The Ludlow native — who attended Springfield Central before doing a post-grad year with NMH this year — took home a first place finish at 160 in the National Prep Wrestling Championship at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pa. Alvan won New England’s in 2019 before a serious knee injury (torn ACL, MCL, meniscus and LCL) knocked him out of the 2020 postseason. He is committed to wrestle at Columbia next year. In the finals, Alvan defeated Gavin Cagle — from McCallie, Tennessee — by a 6-4 decision. That gave him 203 victories for his high school/prep career. https://www.recorder.com/Bulletin-Board-40302057 __________ The Bros get mentioned in Pennsylvania press... https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/sports/2021/05/06/escape-rock-wrestling-tournament-returning-2022/4961471001/

Search Connecticut Wrestling Online HIGH SCHOOL Provo, Rossetti capture Prep School national championships by Gerry deSimas, Jr. , Connecticut Wrestling Online May 3, 2021 Greens Farms Academy’s Nico Provo, left, and Loomis Chaffee’s Dom Rossetti, center won national titles at the Prep School Nationals Monday in Pennsylvania. GFA assistant coach Jon Valles is on the left. Rossetti also trains at South Side Wrestling Club that is run by GFA coach Jack Conroy. (Photo courtesy Jack Conroy) Stratford’s Nico Provo won his second national tournament in less than two weeks by capturing the 2021 National Prep School Open tournament in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Monday. Representing Greens Farms Academy in Westport, Provo beat Brennen Cernus of Wyoming Seminary in the championship match at 120 pounds, 8-2, to win his first prep school national title. Provo won the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) Senior Nationals two weeks ago in Virginia Beach. Provo was one of eight wrestlers from Greens Farms Academy to earn All-American honors by finishing in the top eight of their respective weight classes. Glastonbury’s Dominic Rossetti, a senior from Loomis Chaffee in Windsor, won his first national Prep School title with his 3-0 win over Lorenzo Norman of Blair Academy in the championship bout at 152 pounds. Greens Farms Justin Mastroianni of New Canaan was seconds away from a victory in the championship match but Danny Wask of Blair Academy got a takedown as time expired to earn a 2-1 victory in the final at 145 pounds. Greens Farms freshman Nate Taylor (160) of Newtown finished third at 160 pounds while Brunswick’s Chris Perry became a four-time Prep School All-American by finishing third at 138 pounds. Provo, who is going to Cornell in the fall, went 5-0 with three pins and a technical fall to earn Prep School All-American honors for the third time. He gave up just one takedown and a pair of escapes in his first four bouts including a 38 second pin of Wyoming Seminary’s Kai Owen in the semifinals. Cernus was a defending national champion at 113 pounds. He was tied 2-2 with Provo after getting a one-point escape with 1:53 left in the match. But Provo got a takedown with 57 seconds remaining and a four-point near fall with 18 seconds left to clinch the championship. Provo is the first Greens Farms wrestler to win a Prep School national title. “It’s hard to put into words what this means,” Provo said. “National Preps, for us, our season leads up to this moment. It is THE tournament and to finally win it, it’s about time. It means a lot to me and it means a lot to GFA and the program.” “He is a special kid. He has a special work ethic and he is super motivated,” Green Farms Academy coach Jack Conroy said. “I am proud of his ability to go out there and let it rip.” Rossetti had two pins to earn a spot in the semifinals where he beat Braden Baller of Liberty Christian, 10-0. In the championship match, Rossetti took a 1-0 lead thanks to an escape early in the third period and he clinched the victory with a takedown with 22 seconds left in regulation. It’s the first Prep School national title for Rossetti and for Loomis-Chaffee, which had five wrestlers reach the final. The most recent was Sean Boyle, who was second at 103 pounds in 2003. Rossetti will be attending Columbia University in the fall. “He is just great at controlling the match,” Conroy said. For the last few months, Rossetti has been working out with the GFA team at South Side Wrestling Club in Bridgeport, which is run by Conroy. “We’re very impressed on how he has grown and developed.” Mastroianni wasn’t challenged on his way to the finals at 145 pounds with three pins and a 15-0 technical fall victory in the semifinals. Mastroianni had a 1-0 lead thanks to an escape with 1:52 left in the third period. Welk got in deep with two takedown attempts in the final minute but couldn’t finish. After a second stalemate call with 11 seconds remaining, Welk tried for another takedown. Using a wizard with four seconds left, he got Mastroianni on his knees and was able to get the match-winning takedown as time expired although the Greens Farms bench protested to no avail. It was his second runner-up trophy in less than two weeks. Mastroianni finished second at the NHSCA Senior Nationals. Perry (138) won six bouts to become the first Bruin to earn All-American honors four times with his third place finish. Perry won his first matches by pin and beat Dominic Federici, 8-2 in the quarterfinals. After a loss to Hill School’s Kelvin Griffin in the semifinals, Perry got a reversal with 57 seconds left in the third period to beat Clayton Gabrielson in the consolation semifinals. In the consolation final, Perry built up a five-point lead to beat J.T. Chase of Western Reserve Academy, 5-2. Taylor rebounded from a two-point loss in the quarterfinals with four straight wins in the consolation round to finish third with a 4-2 win over Aldan Bowers of Christian Brothers in Tennessee. Trailing by one, Taylor escaped with 1:57 left in the third period and got a takedown with 1:47 remaining to take control of the bout. Taylor, who won a national title at the NHSCA Freshman Nationals in Virginia Beach, advanced to the consolation final with a 4-2 win in overtime over Colby Isabelle. Greens Farms Aiden Hebert of Westport (132) and Peter Kane of Fairfield (145) each finished fourth. Kane went 5-2 with two pins while Hebert went 4-2 with two pins. Greens Farms wrestlers Michael Bartush of Norwalk (195) was fifth while Caleb Seyfried (126) of Westport was seventh and C.J. Shea of Milford (132) was eighth. “It’s hard to imagine four years ago we only had one All-American in the history of the (Greens Farms) program and today we have eight in this tournament,” Provo said. “This was the last hurrah.” A year ago, the Dragons had two All-American wrestlers. This year, they had eight. No team scores were kept at the tournament but Greens Farms would have been a contender. “This was a culmination of a lot of work in the past year,” Conroy said. “We have established a winning tradition and we don’t plan to let up.” West Hartford’s Brian Nanmoun (220) from Avon Old Farms finished sixth while Brunswick School senior Nick Bell (160) earned All-American honors by finishing eighth. The 2021 National Prep School national championships were held May 2-3 at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Parke with competition in 14 weight classes. Wrestlers were required to be attending their respective prep school during the 2020-21 school year. Masks were required to be worn at all times by athletes, coaches and spectators although athletes were not required to wrestle in masks on the mat. 2021 National Prep School Open At Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Kudos to those traveling and going after the best competition you can find right now. Sporting rules are commonly pertinent to those who enforce them, and why. Sort of like speed limits or certain other fees around the country,,,, revenue from those pricey tickets vs a tourism hot $pot. In this case, drawing talent & maintaining a reputation of having the most balanced, well seeded tournament possible with some heavy hitters not even coming as a result of recent year craziness may be to blame, imo. This year, much of this may only been a measuring stick... https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/7013404-national-prep-championship-preview ...Again, glad to see several traveling and making some noise!!

National Prep Championship Preview A complete breakdown of the 2021 National Prep Championship wrestling tournament. May 1, 2021 by Patrick Hitschler 160 Pounds Top Contenders Cesar Alvin, Northfield Mount Hermon Aiden Bowers, Christian Brothers (TN) Gavin Cagle, McCallie Owen Quinn, Malvern Colby Isabelle, Hill School Alvin is probably unknown to most people outside of New England, but he is a high-level wrestler. As a Columbia commit, he won a public school New England title back in 2019 before an injury took him out of the 2020 postseason. Bowers and Cagle are both returning placers at National Preps, and Bowers took an overtime win over Cagle in the Tennessee State Championships last month. Owen Quinn placed fourth at Escape the Rock this year, and Isabelle lost 12-11 last week in the finals of Sophomore Nationals. This is a weight that could definitely have some upsets in the later rounds. 220 Pounds Top Contenders #1 Nick Feldman, Malvern Prep Jeff Miller, Wyoming Seminary Gabe Fisher, Montgomery Bell (TN) Nick Feldman would need to pull a J’den Cox and miss weigh-ins for anyone else to win this weight class. The #1 ranked wrestler in the country and Ohio State commit has a knack for getting techfalls via only takedowns and has not lost a high school match in about a year and a half. Miller was round of 12 at 195 last year, and Gabe Fisher is a Tennessee Prep School state champion. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/7013404-national-prep-championship-preview

Alert Chattanooga Athletics COVID-19 Updates & Guidelines | Click here for more details. Skip To Main Content CHATTANOOGA MOCS Ben Dodds Retirement Congrats to Coach Reeve 4/30/2021 2:31:00 PM Story Links University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Director of Athletic Performance Ethan Reeve announced his retirement following 44 years in college athletics. Reeve served as the Mocs' wrestling coach from 1985-90 and recently returned to UTC as the Director of Strength & Conditioning. "I love UTC and I really enjoyed both stints at this University," stated Reeve. "I think this is a good time to move on to the next chapter outside of college athletics and I have a great opportunity that I am excited about." While Reeve is retiring from college athletics, he is not hanging it up all together. He has accepted a position as the Director of Strength & Athletic Performance at Mondo USA. Mondo is a world-wide leader in sports flooring with products ranging from track & field to strength & conditioning platforms. A past president of the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa), Coach Reeve will serve as a consultant and mentor for programs across the country in his new role. "We want to congratulate Coach Reeve on a tremendous career," stated UTC Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Mark Wharton. "He has a great opportunity with Mondo USA and we wish him well. He will always be a Moc." Mocs fans mainly remember Reeve as the head coach of the UTC wrestling program from 1985-90, guiding Chattanooga to five Southern Conference titles in six years. In addition, he posted a 57-38-2 (.598) record, leaving with the third most wins in school history.

A sport that many figured would be grounded during the pandemic, 37 states have been able to start regular-season wrestling, with only four states having to cancel the entire season (Connecticut, Maine, Nevada and Vermont). Five additional states – New Mexico, Illinois, North Carolina, Washington and Oregon – are due to start competition in April and May. While some states have been able to start and finish wrestling on time this year, other states have had to employ more creative measures to offer the sport. In New Jersey, where the start of the season was delayed until March 16, several schools have conducted dual meets outdoors in an attempt to provide a safer environment.... Fall, Winter, Spring Sports Being Held Simultaneously Across Country Wednesday, April 28, 2021 - by Dr. Karissa Niehoff, NFHS Executive Director Dr. Karissa Niehoff At the end of March 2020, high school sports and performing arts were grounded – victims of a novel coronavirus that was wreaking havoc throughout the world. NFHS member state high school associations were in the concluding stages of winter sports championships when the pandemic struck last spring. Although 17 states were able to complete basketball championships, student-athletes in 34 states were not able to experience the “madness” of March. And approximately three million participants in spring sports and performing arts were unable to be involved in their favorite activities. https://www.chattanoogan.com/2021/4/28/427395/Fall-Winter-Spring-Sports-Being-Held.aspx

Some of you may remember... Legendary Coach McMahan Changed Lives During His 47 Years At Baylor Sunday, April 25, 2021 - by Paul Payne Coach Bill McMahan responds to ovation last week as he honored at his final track meet for Baylor’s middle school - photo by Contributed Photo It’s the only career path Bill McMahan ever envisioned for himself. The moment he graduated from Baylor School in 1967, it became his dream to discover an avenue to return to the place that gave him a sense of purpose. It’s also telling that the setting where McMahan experienced some of the hardest challenges of his early years is the same place he enjoyed his greatest accomplishments. That dream hatched half a century ago comes to a close next month as McMahan will retire after a 47-year career at Baylor. “I really didn’t plan to be here that long,” McMahan said. “One of the reasons I’ve lasted this long is the relationship with the kids. I wasn’t trying to see how long I could stay, but I’d remain as long as I felt I was making a positive contribution. If I lost the desire to do the best I could each day, I’d know it was time to leave. It’s time to go now.” McMahan won nine state championships during his 28 years leading the boys and girls track and field programs before stepping down three years ago, continuing to coach the middle school team until his final competition last week. He also served on the Baylor varsity football staff for 31 seasons, and had stints coaching wrestling and basketball since his return in 1974. The fact he made it back to his alma mater at all still amazes McMahan. He was in his third year as a physical education teacher and coach at Tyner Junior High when he inquired about getting hired at Baylor. “In the spring of ’74 I talked to (Baylor administrator) Ray Deering,” McMahan said. “There wasn’t a P.E. program and he told me if I was serious about coming to Baylor, I needed to go back and get some hours in a subject matter and call us later. When I drove out of the old Baylor gate, I decided I wasn’t going back to school. So I resigned myself to the fact that wasn’t going to happen for me to come back.” But a few months later, Deering reached out to McMahan late one evening just weeks before the new school year to see if he was still interested. “I told him I hadn’t been back to get any graduate hours, but he said something had come up and he wanted me to meet him and Dr. (Herbert) Barks the next morning,” McMahan said. What unfolded not only stunned McMahan, but forever impacted the lives of countless students and fellow faculty members for years to come. “I can remember the conversation like it was yesterday,” McMahan said. “I had never met Dr. Barks, and I walked into his office and he didn’t ask me anything or interview me. He told me ‘You’re going to teach four classes of eighth grade civics. You’ll coach ninth grade football and they haven’t lost a game in seventh or eighth grade, and Coach Red Etter will give you your other coaching responsibilities. Do you have any questions?’ “I didn’t know what to say. I about fell out of the chair. That’s how I got hired, just like that. Something came up overnight with a coach that decided to go back to his hometown, so they must have been desperate to call me.” While he was grateful for the chance to return to Baylor, McMahan quickly discovered that he was outmatched by the eighth graders he was tasked to instruct. “Listen, I made a ‘D’ in political science at UT,” McMahan said. “In the first class I ever taught in the bottom of Trustee Hall, I’ve got Mark Goldstein who wound up going to Harvard, Frank Hirsch who was a Morehead Scholar at UNC, French Wall who went to Harvard, Bo Watson who is a state senator and Monte Bruell who went to Harvard. I’m sitting there with guys who were so much smarter than I was that when they left the class I knew I was in deep trouble.” But McMahan rose to the challenge with the same determination he expected of his athletes. “The very next morning I stopped at the Waffle House for breakfast and bought a paper, threw away everything but the front section, and read it. I did that every morning for a long time. I subscribed to Time and Newsweek and, to be honest, I learned with them,” McMahan said. McMahan also has vivid memories of a harrowing trip to Atlanta riding with the legendary coach E.B. “Red” Etter that initial year. Etter was implementing the wishbone offense and wanted McMahan and his fellow coaches to attend a clinic to learn the intricacies of the new system. “He drove the whole way in second gear,” McMahan said. “It was raining and Coach Etter was drawing plays on the windshield while he was driving. I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to die right here.’” McMahan’s coaching style in the early years was modeled after the no-nonsense approach of his coaches back when Baylor was a military school. While the military presence had been dropped three years earlier, there was still a high expectation among the all-male student body. “I wasn’t real bright and had to work my butt off to succeed at Baylor,” McMahan said. “I went here three years and probably 300 Saturday schools just to make it through. So I expected the same effort out of my students. I was young and didn’t know any better and was consumed with winning. I still don’t like to lose, even when I’m playing kickball with my granddaughter. But the older I got, I got a little wiser. It’s all about the relationship with the kids. When I started out, I didn’t think that would matter. I just thought about wins and losses.” As time progressed, McMahan never wavered on his belief that there were no shortcuts to achievement. But he began to recognize it was the lessons learned and the friendships cultivated each step along the path that mattered most. He began to measure success not by outcomes, but rather with an old-school expectation that perseverance served as the true barometer of character. “I wanted the kids to learn what a good worth ethic was all about,” McMahan said. “In the end, you’re going to face much tougher things in life than a race or a ballgame. You’re going to have trials in your life that, by going through these workouts and reaching down and making yourself do something when you didn’t think you could, maybe it will help them cope with real life issues like cancer or a divorce. People who have had to push themselves appreciate adversity more than those who’ve had everything given to them.” The influence of McMahan, who is a member of the Baylor Sports Hall of Fame and the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Game, goes well beyond the athletes he coached. He served as a mentor to many of his fellow coaches, including long-time girls head cross country and track assistant Heather Ott. “I met Coach McMahan while a young teacher and coach at the start of my 35 years here. He’s provided an example of what it looks like to educate and mentor young people,” Ott said. “He lives with absolute honesty, generosity and integrity and expects that of the kids. “He shows up in the lives of these kids while they are at Baylor and in the decades beyond. And he does the same in the lives of colleagues. Many Baylor teachers and coaches love Baylor, but none more than Bill McMahan. I cannot imagine this place without him.” Long-time former Baylor basketball coach and athletic director Austin Clark has had a special relationship with McMahan over their four decades together. It was Clark who first offered McMahan the chance to oversee Baylor’s track program. “He is who he is because of what Baylor did for him as a student. He worked hard for everything he ever had,” Clark said. “He is the true example of a coach. He’s coached nearly every sport, and he’s done it with excellence. He has a way of making people believe in themselves so that they become better people. His message was never about winning. It’s always been about doing their best. He just looks for the best in people. “I love him like a brother because we’ve experienced life together for so many years. It’s like he’s Gus and I’m Woodrow from the ‘Lonesome Dove’ series. It’s all about loyalty.” But McMahan has come to truly understand that loyalty can be a two-way street. He’s had a front-row seat to witness that attribute through the support of his family. His wife, Debbie, has steadfastly supported McMahan throughout their 43 years of marriage, and his daughter, Allison LaPorta, and son, Knox, are among his greatest fans. “I always knew my father supported me and loved me, but it was how he treated others that truly impacted me,” Knox McMahan said. “I saw how he invested into others, and how many former students he touched in a positive way. No matter what award or championships he won, it was never about him. He hates the limelight. It’s always about the team, not individuals. I couldn’t be prouder to have him as my father.” LaPorta had the opportunity to compete in track under her father’s coaching. She and her husband, Nick, have two children who are now benefiting from their “Pap’s” wisdom. “I was so proud to run for my dad. If he was involved in something, I wanted to be there,” LaPorta said. “He yelled at me and my friends because we knew he expected more from us. When he raised his voice in the heat of the moment, it didn’t mean he was mad. It was always about us reaching our potential. “I’m still the biggest daddy’s girl. My role has always been his No. 1 fan, and that’s never changed. We have become more alike as we’ve gotten older. I wish my kids knew what a treasure they have in their grandfather. Since I now have children of my own, it’s a humbling experience to recognize the sacrifices my mother made. She was the true hero, and she never missed a beat with me and my brother.” McMahan has become more appreciative of the role his family played while chasing his dream, the long hours away from home while investing into the lives of others’ children. “Unless you’ve been married to a coach, you never realize the sacrifices made by the family,” McMahan said. “I’ve learned to love my family more because they always stayed in the shadows to allow me to pursue something I loved. Debbie is the unsung hero of my career and I’m so thankful for the support of my family.” McMahan is just as competitive as ever, but he now has the advantage of years of wisdom in understanding his role. He’s just trying to honor those men who invested in his life during his years as a Baylor student and hoping to do the same for others. “There are people that influenced me – Jim Hitt, Jim Worthington, Coach (Luke) Worsham - that made me want to come back to Baylor,” McMahan said. “These were people who weren’t going to let me fail. What they did was go the extra mile to try to make me better. They didn’t know how it would turn out, but they never let me quit. McMahan’s legacy lives on in the lives of those he coached, and he cherishes the ongoing relationship enjoyed through periodic visits and connection via social media. “What I’ve always tried to do is to push kids, to make them do things they didn’t think they could do,” McMahan said. “When you see somebody married now with a family, they’re not going to remember how high they jumped in the high jump or how many yards they ran for in a football game. They’re going to remember the journey – going through practice, making it when you didn’t think you could. That’s the part that means the most to me. People forget the accomplishments, but they’re never going to forget about being a friend.” * * * Chattanoogan Paul Payne can be reached by email at paulpayne6249@gmail.com or via Twitter @Paul_A_Payne _____________________ Ga/Collins Hill/Millhoff update... BOYS WRESTLER OF THE YEAR: Collins Hill's Clint Gilbert By David Friedlander Staff As a member of Collins Hill’s football and wrestling teams, it is quite common for Clint Gilbert to get a bit of a late start to the season in the latter each year because of overlaps with the season of the former. But the 2020-21 wrestling season saw a far longer delay in the transition between the two seasons for the for the senior thanks to a back injury sustained while on the gridiron late in the Eagles’ Class AAAAAAA state runner-up season. The recovery time limited Gilbert to just 13 total matches this past season, though the 2021 Daily Post Wrestler of the Year admits that the toughest part of his comeback trail this season was more the mental side than the physical. “It was very difficult,” Gilbert said. “I’d lost a lot of my knowledge because it just felt weird not being in the (wrestling) room that long. It was actually five weeks. It really makes a difference.” Gilbert made the most of his recovery — both mental and physical — however, winning all 13 of his matches, 11 of which came by pinfall, plus another by technical fall and another by major decision. And his strong run came at the right time, with another region championship and his third Class AAAAAAA state title in his four high school seasons with an 8-4 decision over Camden County’s Anthony Doyle in the finals at the GHSA State Traditional meet Feb. 6 at the Macon Centreplex. Gilbert’s ability to adjust on the fly came as little surprise to Collins Hill’s first-year coach Ryan Millhof. Even so, Millhof, a 2014 Collins Hill grad and former Eagles mat standout himself, wasn’t going to leave anything to chance, and took a hands-on approach to helping Gilbert realize his full potential in his senior season. “Clint’s a tough kid,” said Millhof – like Gilbert, a three-time state champion and four-time state finalist. “He’s an extremely tough kid. He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and the thing that separates Clint is that he knows what it takes to be a champ. So with two weeks left going into state, he was able to hop back in and I told him, ‘You’re wrestling me every day (in practice),’ and we got after it. He put in the extra time he needed to. “The main conversation was, ‘Don’t focus on what you didn’t have (this season). Focus on what you do have. You didn’t get the whole season, but hey, you’ve got a whole month to wrap up your high school career and go out with a bang.’” As competitive as Gilbert is, he didn’t really need much from a motivational standpoint to give his best effort. However, he was also smart enough to realize that when someone with the credentials of Millhof, who went on to a Division I All-American career at Oklahoma and Arizona State that included qualifying for the NCAA Tournament three different times, talks, it’s wise to listen. “Two weeks before state, I wrestled him in practice every day live and drilling,” Gilbert recalled. “He taught me a lot of things. … I thought I’d learned it all, but he has a lot of (knowledge). “Just seeing him wrestle through all the different positions (was important). There’s not one thing during a match that you can’t get out of or that you can’t go to after this happens or after that happens. Just keep wrestling throughout the match.” Just as Millhof hoped, Gilbert took his challenge to heart and ended with a bang a high school career as decorated as that of his mentor, with a final career record of 136-21 and state titles at 106 pounds his freshman season in 2018 and 138 the past two seasons, plus a state runner-up finish at 126 as a junior in 2019. From Gilbert’s perspective, it was very much worth everything he had to endure, not all of which involved what happened on the mat. “(One) thing I’m proud of myself for is that I’ve had a different (head) coach (almost every) year — (three out of) four years,” Gilbert said. “So really, I was kind of on my own. Not the whole year because the coaches teach and stuff, but it’s just different when you’ve got (three) different people for four different years.” Having to process a different voice in the wrestling room almost every year wasn’t the only sacrifice Gilbert had to make during his wrestling career at Collins Hill. But as he prepares to graduate and head off to Georgia Military College to study and play football, a sport in which he also excelled as a receiver for the Eagles for four years, there is one sacrifice he is most looking forward to not having to make anymore. “What am I most proud of? Cutting weight,” said Gilbert, who wrestled down a weight class because of his back injury, and hopes to add to the 150 pounds he carried last football season. “There’s a lot that goes into it, and I love to eat. So cutting weight is really hard, and I’ve been doing it for about 12 years. Once you wrestle after cutting weight, you want to eat.”

The measure do, however, remain a recommendation. The decision was made after consulting with the governor's office. "We are not seeing people at outdoor venues wearing (masks) anyway," TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress told the Tennessean. "We do see them sitting away from each other." Masks had been mandated at all sports venues since the school year began and the TSSAA does continue to recommend that capacities be limited to a number that will allow for social distancing. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/preps/story/2021/apr/21/tssaadjusts-covid-protocols-fans/545554/

Hard to replace!! Not sure I've seen anyone have and overcome adversity in this sport any one than this fine coach. Always committed and devoted to his wrestling family in the area of Hendersonville and beyond... Just ask other teams who ended up benefiting from some of his talent over the years...

Here's a little fun tid bit, should anyone want to do something like creative... Did you know... Colorful career Pistol Pez Whatley (RIP '05) came by his pro credentials honestly. He held the distinction of being the first Black prep athlete in Tennessee to win a state wrestling championship, first in 1967 and again in 1969, at Chattanooga’s Notre Dame High where he was a standout running back on the football team. He also was the first Black wrestler at UT-Chattanooga, where he was a teammate of George Weingeroff, son of legendary Tennessee manager Saul Weingeroff and a future pro himself. https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/wrestling/pistol-pez-whatley-was-gifted-grappler-skilled-showman/article_82f7e4a2-9ebd-11eb-9550-57e0d6e06623.html

SHARE THIS Warrensburg's McKenna took different route to wrestle this season Warrensburg's Hunter McKenna hugs his father, assistant coach Scott McKenna, following his win in the 152-pound final of the Section II wrestling championships last year. Jenn March File Photo, Special to The Post-Star Hunter McKenna might never have wrestled at all in high school were it not for some miracles of modern medicine. He might never have wrestled in his senior year if it weren’t for a phone call from a former teammate around Christmas time, inviting him to Tennessee for the opportunity. McKenna, Warrensburg’s all-time leader in career victories, was diagnosed at age 12 with juvenile arthritis, a rheumatic disease that causes inflammation in the joints. In McKenna’s case, it could have been severely debilitating. “I always thought it was an older person disease,” he said. “At 12 years old, it’s weird to tell somebody that you have arthritis. At 18, it’s still weird. I have the body of a 60-year-old. “I wouldn’t be able to walk, I’d be wheeling myself around,” added McKenna, who plans to wrestle at Division III Augsburg University in Minneapolis next year. “Wrestling keeps me moving, it helps me a lot keeping me loose.” “It affects every joint in his body except his jaw,” said Scott McKenna, Hunter’s father and a longtime assistant wrestling coach with Mark Trapasso at Warrensburg. McKenna’s wrestling career had appeared all but over in December, as the state delayed the start of “high-risk” winter sports, including wrestling and basketball. Time appeared to be running out for wrestlers in New York state.

McKenna, a two-time state qualifier in New York, moved to Tennessee this winter to compete in wrestling during the pandemic. Jenn March File Photo, Special to The Post-Star “I had posted something on Instagram saying how I didn’t think wrestling was going to happen,” said Hunter McKenna, a Section II champ and Most Outstanding Wrestler in the small schools last year. “At the time, I didn’t see myself wrestling my senior year. It wasn’t looking good.” Then came the phone call from former Warrensburg teammate Dylan Winchell, who had moved in with his aunt and uncle in Newport, Tennessee, over the summer to play football and wrestle at Cocke County High School. Tennessee, like many other states, was far more open than New York during the pandemic. While New York had shut down “high-risk” sports and enforced mask-wearing and social distancing, other states continued to play sports like football and wrestling through the pandemic. “I was sitting home in December, during Christmas break, and I get a call from Dylan Winchell,” McKenna said. “He calls me up and says, ‘We’re looking for a 152-pounder. If you’re interested, we’ve got a spot for you.’” The opportunity to wrestle his senior season was too good to pass up — despite the fact that he would have to move 860-odd miles and 13 hours from home. First he had to talk his parents into it. “At first, it was a no-brainer, but when I told my family what I wanted to do, I started feeling a little nervous,” Hunter McKenna said. “It was hard getting in that car the next weekend.” “The last thing I wanted to do was bring my kid to Tennessee to wrestle,” Scott McKenna said. “He’s been a Warrensburg kid forever. I coached there for 20-plus years. But I knew he would kick himself if he didn’t do it.” Warrensburg's Hunter McKenna reacts to his win against Hadley-Luzerne's Justin Hoffman in the 152-pound final of the Section II wrestling championships last year. McKenna, a two-time state qualifier in New York, moved to Tennessee this winter to compete in wrestling during the pandemic. Jenn March File Photo, Special to The Post-Star So at the beginning of the new year, the McKennas brought their oldest boy down to Tennessee for the final two months of high school wrestling season. McKenna and Winchell were not the only area athletes to leave New York to pursue opportunities in less-restrictive states. Queensbury’s Dylan Erickson moved to Texas to play football. Corinth’s Devlin Blanchard moved to Colorado to wrestle. “When I said I was moving out of state to wrestle, I got quite a few text messages saying they did the same thing,” Hunter McKenna said. “Every school we talked to about wrestling — the top three were Springfield, Norwich and Augsburg — said, ‘If you have the opportunity, do it,’” Scott McKenna said. In Tennessee, Hunter McKenna said athletes did not have to wear masks and masks were optional even for fans. “No masks, full spectators, everything looked normal, like nothing’s going on,” he said. Already Warrensburg’s record-holder with 173 career wins, McKenna went 19-4 in Tennessee in January and February, and qualified for the state Class AAA meet at 152 pounds, where he knocked off the third seed before losing in the quarterfinals. Winchell also made the state meet, at 126. The best part about the state meet was having his parents coming down to watch him — and his father coaching him from the corner. “That was awesome,” said Hunter McKenna, who is playing baseball this spring. “He’s been in my corner since I was 4 years old. “I had two months of wrestling, but it was great,” he added. “There was a sense of normalcy. I was blessed to have a season.” The fact that he’s able to wrestle at all is a triumph of medicine. A wrestler since he was old enough to be on the mat, McKenna remembers coming home one day when he was 12 with what he thought was a tweaked ankle. “But it went on for a few days, then it was my other ankle and my knees,” he said. “A few days later, I fell out of bed and I couldn’t move. I called out to my dad. It was a really scary situation.” Scott McKenna had to carry his son into the emergency room. Then it was on to Burlington for further analysis — and a diagnosis of juvenile arthritis. His doctors found the right combination of drugs to keep his joints limber and functioning. “I was in a lot of pain for a few weeks. It was weird and scary,” Hunter McKenna said. “I’ve been on a few drugs for it. I used to go to Albany for 3 1/2 hours with an IV once a month. Then I got approved to do it at Glens Falls Hospital. “Now I do a weekly injection myself and I live my life,” he added. After consulting with his doctors last summer, McKenna tried an experiment by going off his meds. “About a month in, I was back to square one,” he said. “That next day, we went right back to Albany. I got prednisone to get to walk, and the next day I was at Glens Falls for an IV.” McKenna said he loosens up throughout the course of the day, just keeping himself moving. “In the mornings I’m a little stiff, I can’t squeeze my hand to grab a pencil,” he said. “By the end of the night, I can squeeze a pencil. I’m not like a normal teen where I can run a mile and feel fine. I’ve got to take my breaks.” Last month, McKenna committed to Augsburg, a small college in Minneapolis with one of the best Division III wrestling programs in the country. He’s planning to major in business. “I miss my parents but it certainly was a good experience to come down to Tennessee,” he said. “It gets me ready for college, being away from home.” Although he will graduate from high school in Tennessee, McKenna plans to be back in town to watch his former teammates graduate in June. “I grew up with them — they’re my best friends,” he said. “All of the stuff we did in the wrestling room, all of the bonding that we had — it was one heck of a time. We wrestled every weekend, we worked for that high school level, and when we got there, we rocked it out of the park.” https://poststar.com/sports/high-school/wrestling/warrensburgs-mckenna-took-different-route-to-wrestle-this-season/article_a158c5f0-19ec-5286-8d63-2da0eadd6b96.html
