To the family of Elijah Lacey, Coach Tonte and to the Warren wrestling community,
I sincerely apologize if the picture used in Cooper Noehre's Indy Star Athlete of the Week nomination offended any of you. The star did not choose the picture, I did. I didn't look at who he was wrestling. I just chose a picture I had on my computer that I thought would be easy to see. I feel absolutely horrible that this could be looked as disrespectful. Elijah was never anything but a class act to me and my team. I have nothing but respect for Coach Tonte and the people in his program.
Again, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry for a stupid oversight.
