Colors will be presented. Veterans will address each team prematch both teams will wear special edition camo uniforms. silent auction for uniforms post match with all proceeds donated. event tee shirts sold with all proceeds donated other items still being planned. If you are a southwestern Indiana wrestling fan please plan to attend this event and help us show what the wrestling community is capable of when we work together.

loscoz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 This sounds like a great event but why at this met? I am wondering if the turn out is usually large at this met? Would be great if all teams would did this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskin Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 We do this with New Washington as both myself and New Washington Coach are marine vets as well as others on our staff are military veterans. Only wrinkle we had last year was we had each team have a Veteran represent each team as capt for the coin toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samaj Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 This sounds like a great event but why at this met? I am wondering if the turn out is usually large at this met? Would be great if all teams would did this! No other reason than that the coaching staffs of these two programs got together and decided to do it. Yes, your right, it would be great if all teams would do this. We have a larger goal in mind but need to get this event rolling first and then see if the other is possible.

EvansvilleSpectator Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Memorial with a pin at 195. I guess point was taken away for the misconduct on Castle. (Even though I think he had a very good argument) 220 forfeit for memorial. 12-8 Memorial leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon H Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I agree it was a good night of wrestling for a great cause. Gina Moore singing the National Anthem was terrific! The 170 match did get things going early with some fireworks on the mat and in the corner. I agree that the coach probably had a good point and probably got the make-up call with the take-down in Overtime. T.C. had a lot of tough calls to make in that match. A lot of action on the edge. The 120 match was exciting. Brown seemed to be in control but Arny kept it close and had the "cement mixer" or whatever it's called as time expired. He just needed a few more seconds. Arny is hard to hold down and seems to be in great condition. I'm sure these guys will see a lot of each other in the next few weeks. Petrig also gave Schnell a little scare at 138 as time expired. Schnell looks strong this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samaj Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Great Night Last Night. I want to thank Castle and their coaching staff for allowing this event to be moved to their school after being postponed on Tuesday. What a fantastic atmosphere for the wrestlers to get to compete in and all the while doing everything for a great cause. Thanks to the parents, fans, and other wrestling supporters (Jon H in particular) for coming out and watching. The crowd was great. Standing Room Only is always nice! Good Luck to both teams in the upcoming State Tournament! Jeff Schaefer Asst Coach - Evansville Memorial HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
