  1. The Indiana wrestling community lost a great coach yesterday. Mike Ester of Fort Wayne passed away. Mike was the coach of Fort Wayne Snider before starting the Indiana Tech program and then recently returning to Snider as an assistant to help coach his son Brady Ester who is going into his senior season. Mike was my high school coach. I graduated from Snider in 2004. He had a tremendous impact on my life and I wouldn't be the man or coach I am today apart from his influence. I know Mike had a personality that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but those closest to him know how big his heart was for his wrestlers and this sport. Even if you would classify him as 'enemy' you cannot question his passion. Remember, we all have our flaws and it never hurts to extend grace rather than judgment. This is a husband, a father, a son, a brother and a fellow coach. It is times like these when our community has an opportunity to set our differences and our competitive nature aside to respond in love and support to show just how bonded and unique this family of wrestlers is. As a gift for the family, I am collecting letters from individuals who have a memory, a word of encouragement or a story to share of how Mike impacted your life. This will help capture some sweet memories that they can reflect on to know just how special he was. If you would like to contribute, you can send it to me via e-mail at spartangrappling@gmail.com. If you know someone who doesn't visit this discussion board but would like to contribute, please share this message with them. The family is unbelievably broken and at a loss right now, please lift them up in your prayers. Whatever you are facing today may not be as big or as serious as it seems. Take the time to let someone know they are loved. God bless, Nathan DeVaux - Head Coach - Homestead High School Snider '04

    CP on its way.

    @Sig40 has said in previous posts that this is not even the most impressive CP line up coming and that the next 4-5 yrs the line up will get even better and better. that is scary given their line up this year will be very very very good and their coaching staff is also at that same level with Hawk, Cosgrove, Sessa, McGill and the list keeps going. Look forward to see how this all turns out over next few years for sure !!!

    Coach Ester coached me at Battle Creek, Michigan for the National Duals and always tried to help me out at every tournament I saw him at thereafter, as a wrestler and a coach for the next 20 years.

    I think it was easier for me to do Mater Dei's lineup then our own. Lots of question marks where kids weights are... hopefully we get a full squad at IHPO to get an idea where they will fall. 106: Goin/Bahl 113: Frazier/Goin 120: Bettich/Frazier/Roberson 126: Roberson/Tattini/Carter/Bettich 132: Taylor/Mendez/Roberson/Tattini 138: Mendez/Taylor/Tattini 145: Goodwin/Cruz 152: Cruz/Goodwin 160: Willems/Hollendoner 170: Hollendoner/Willems 182: Taborski/Ayala 195: McElroy/Ayala 220?285?

    Concordia Wrestling and head coach James Jones would like to extend their condolences to the Ester family and the Snider Wrestling program. Coach Ester was always a fierce competitor and very passionate about the sport of wrestling. He will be missed by the entire wrestling community. Our prayers go out to all of his family and friends.

    Heard the coaching staff added Scott and Dave Hinkel. Scott coached at Purdue University for 20 years and was Head Coach for 7 of those years.

  11. Well I usually don’t get on this site to look at the forums but this was brought to my attention. This was not the case of who he couldn’t or could beat. There where many issues last year and we are glad that’s behind him. Castle is a great school and we wish them well. We also appreciate everything thing they did and all the time they spent with him. For somebody to say who he couldn’t beat means you probably don’t actually know what was going on. Mater Dei is a great opportunity for him not just for the wrestling aspects but for many other reasons. “Well over his allowance” he was .1 over not sure if that classifies as well over. That’s on him and hopefully he is at a different stage in his career where he won’t have to worry about that anymore.

    My guess is the mayor has a few tricks up his sleeve and still dominates.
