Coach Seymour Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Brownsburg HWT coach Eric Lynn has been awesome with our big guys. Ricky Clark, Riley Peterson, Lawson Aiken, Dorian Keys, and Leighton Jones just to name a few.

tyquhp13 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I don't know them by name, but in the past, watching the whole staff from Brownsburg was very inspiring as an opposing coach. By that I mean I'm happy for the future of our sport with individuals promoting not only the will to win, but also sportsmanship. FYI I'm not from the #county haha.

bsisson Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Since Cooper Samuels became my head assistant 7 years ago we've placed 8 with 2 state Champs. He's an amazing technician and a constant student of the sport. Also Brian Foxworthy, who still helps me, was the man behind all of the medals and finals appearances during our run in the 2000s. He's forgot more wrestling than I've ever known. Momir Petkovic doesn't sit in the corner but having him in the room and listening to his approach about wrestling and the journey has been very special for our program. rdrodd1, Derick Conway, Steven Sandefer and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyb Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Dave Kern has been an assistant at North Central and Avon. He got my oldest over the hump his senior year. He’s a great coach friend and man. Not a household name but should be. FCFIGHTER170, BrodyHardcastle, Alex Skipper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCFIGHTER170 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Mark "Sparky" Griffith at NC not only produced two unreal legends of the sport JJ and Whitey , but so many other savages on his way to being a IHSAA HOFer and imho best ever Middle school coach in state history with nearly 20 unbeaten teams as well.. I'll forever be indebted to the Griffiths,JJ was one of my best friends that we lost to Diabetes, I will forever miss him and proud of his brother Whitey aka Josh that beat cancer himself.

Darrick Snyder Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I just wanted to add I could not be more thankful and appreciative of my staff. I have incredible administrative support so we have several coaches in the building and at middle schools. Several of my assistants have been offered multiple head coaching jobs, but have stayed with us. So thankful to have them. My coaches who aren’t teachers are freaking incredible. They are literally losing several thousands of dollars to not run their business or cut their hours to coach wrestling. Often they will work in a 12 hour work day to allow them to be at future practice and/or a tournament.

anklepick Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Owen Valley: Coach Casey Bybee is an awesome assistant coach. Steven Spicer is an awesome head coach. They are both fully committed to developing the Owen Valley wrestlers into full-on quality men and competitors. I am very thankful for them both. They have totally turned the program around 100% in a few years' time. The staff shows up in-season, off-season, any time. They care about the kids and I'm sure they've turned down more lucrative and prestigious offers. Thanks to all the coaches that help us parents get the important lessons wrestling can teach to our kids. Happy new year!

We saw them at nearly every offseason tournament. I coached a high rollers team this summer and even when they weren’t coaching they were there supporting their kids. They have built some pretty tough wrestlers there and great kids as well. Every single one that wrestled for us approached me and said hi this weekend at Mooresville. Keep up the great work down there you guys are doing awesome! Lisa Stephenson, OVPatriots, FCFIGHTER170 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper160 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Justin Cooper at Whiteland High School, Head coach Anthony Meister , have built an up and coming program at Whiteland. The Warriors are on the move and are already a difficult team to beat in tournament format. Another couple years and they will be a problem for any team in the state. Good chance of placing two or more kids this year with Joey Butler leading the way. Hornet Coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriotfan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Coaches Joe Somerville and Brent Maddox down at Jeffersonville do a great job! There is a reason Jeff has a ton of kids ever year and Joe (2019 Assistant Coach of the Year) is a big part in that Also I'm not sure there are too many programs that can say they have a coach that trains a current UFC hwt fighter... (Coach Maddox trains Don'Tale Mayes) Edited January 3, 2022 by patriotfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
