Drooke Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 After this weekend with so many Indiana wrestlers doing so well at the National Duals I began to wonder about Blake. I understand that severe neck injuries eliminated the possibility for him to wrestle in college ever again. But with Alex and Angel possibly primed for a championship run in March as well as his teammate Reece's awesome performance this year just makes me think that he would be right there with them. I've always felt that Blake was one of the most talented kids to ever come out of Indiana. Other than bringing up old memories I was wondering if anyone out there knew how Blake was doing and what he is up to now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNextDynasty Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I heard a rumor that he interviewed for the Jasper coaching job. If that's the case and he decides to be a coach, I think he will be an outstanding one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shekoh Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Blake still has at least one year of school left, and still hasn't done his student teaching, so I'm thinking that it's too long of a drive from Columbus, OH, to Jasper, IN, every day for practice and/or meets True, the Jasper folks are looking down the road and thinking about him in a year or so, but there hasn't been an interview yet.

2016GrecoGold Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That would be great to get some of the MD guys spread out in So. IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Is he still able to work out with the team at all in any capacity? As a possible coach will he be able to roll with the kids? It's good to hear that he is still in school though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbarnett Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I spoke to Blake's father at the Mater Dei Christmas tourney and he confirmed that Blake is still in school, coaching at a local high school, and working on a teaching degree. He also confirmed that Blake would definately consider coming back to Indiana and looking in to a teaching/coaching job in the area. Good luck Blake!
