samaj Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I would like to congratulate Larry Mattingly on his retirement and on an awesome career. I never met another coach or athlete who didn't think he was a great person. If you ever met him him you know he is the best joke teller on the planet. He is the definition of a great mentor to Memorial HS Wrestlers and fellow coaches for 36 years! I feel fortunate to say I was his assistant for most of them. Congrats Larry!

randalllynch Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I have enjoyed all I my interactions across the mat, walking down the hall, and especially the seeding meetings. Larry will always be remembered and talked about with a smile for years to come! Thanks for the great memories. Randy samaj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cooper Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 What a fantastic human being! I wish I had the opportunity to be around him more other than just in passing at meets and events. One of the most genuine people I’ve had the opportunity to meet through wrestling. QuinnHarris, samaj and Greg Ratliff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Humble Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Larry has been everything you would want a wrestling coach to be as a colleague and coach for your son or daughter. MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
