upperweights Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great Story. His Coaches and Teammates should hold their head high with honor. That is very responsible of his team to be accepting of him. Peru, you guys are a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbjemler Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 well I read this site all the time, just have not posted in eons This is a great kid and a great family. He also has run cross country and track his whole HS career. Peru wrestling is a family...much like many programs across the state. (you all can attest to programs you know that are like this) Coach Hobbs does not let anybody flounder in the program. They may not be the best wrestler, but if they show up and work hard there is always a place...starting with the five year olds that come in on elementary clinic nights. Always a pat on the back, hand shake for the parents and a welcome one and all attitude. Jacob has truly made it, and those people that know him have always rooted for his strong desire to be part of the family, and his desire to go to college. Jacob deserves this story!!! If there are any other stories out there like this...please share with the board. Great things happen in wrestling and because of wrestling.
