Looking at the possibility of this date as there was limited interest in the previous date posted!

January 20th the weekend before sectionals!

We have the gym available just need teams.

We are open to doing duals or individual tournament depending on the interest level!

Maybe I’ll make the trip up looks like too many Fort Wayne coaches

Hearing whispers there may be more than one PM kid in Roncalli Gear now

Hockaday, Henry or Dickman going to sem??

No, believe it’s a brownsburg kid who actually won’t ever wrestle for brownsburg in HS would’ve been a freshman last year. Took a year, now rumors are he’s going to SEM

Ben Davis is looking for multiple JV events.

Please reach out to myself with any openings.

Was a tough scene today at the funeral.

@QuinnHarris after your sucessful season at Cascade - are you sitting a year out, do you have a place in mind, or are you waiting for other opportunities to open up?

Hoping to have an announcement this week or next week!

Thank you for the kind words!

I thought that that might have been who I was thinking, I know there were a couple sleeper AAs in Greco last year, but it looks like he's starting to become an elite folkstyle wrester as well.

He is the one who upset spears at semi state and then got beat by Bradley owen of Jeff in a barn burner! Great kid!

Alex smith was a cadet Fargo AA Last summer! Kid puts in the work!

Great read. GREAT coach! 
 

Enjoy retirement coach!

Cam Deip Fishers

GREAT hire

Austin Arnold of Brownsburg I believe won the Avon sectional 3 maybe 4 times and never reached semi state. A little different then not making it out of sectionals.

To the dirty south we go! 
 

@TripleB here the state comes!

Why do you assume that we are not putting in effort?

 

Why do you assume that we are not running an intramural league for our k-3 grades so that parents don't have to travel an hour+ in the wee hours on Sunday to get exposed to the sport?

 

Why do you assume that we (along with Triton, Urey, Knox, Judson) are not working hard to develop a wrestling league for grades 4 and 5 for the same reason stated above?

 

Why do you assume that we have coaches to cover these teams (along with our MS team) so that the varsity coach doesn't have to coach or assist all of them?

 

Why do you assume that we do not offer off-season wrestling for our varsity wrestlers as well as opportunities to attend camps with school-provided transportation?

 

Our coaches are dedicated. Our kids work their tails off. Our administration supports the hell out of us.

 

We are playing a different game.

 

Never said you weren’t doing those things. I was the High School head coach and ran our youth league taking kids to tournaments myself every Sunday as well as running weekly practices.

All I’m stating is that it takes exactly that A TON OF WORK, and then some, to build success. No matter what size school you are at there are hurdles!

Ah, see you coached at CMA, a private boarding school with an enrollment of about 800. I am talking about comparing Penn to Culver Community, a small rural school with an enrollment of about 240. There is a big difference between Culver Community and Culver Academy.

 

Trust me, we are working to "find a way" every season, and will continue to do so.

Cascade has an enrollment of about 495.

No state qualifiers from 1966-2008. 4 qualifiers from 2008-2014. 3 qualifiers in 2022, 2023. 

At small schools the coach needs to create opportunities just like the big school. Host an RTC, carpool to an RTC, host offseason practices even if it’s 6+ kids someone is improving although it’s not a room full of 25+ you are still getting better and growing!

Again I’ll say it, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES, the success will follow!

I would love to talk about this. I did coach at CMA for two years out of college and yes it was difficult to develop talent. But those individuals we had found ways to get better. Off season wrestling, going to other clubs, private coaches. 
I can see both sides of the argument but there are ways we just need to find them. In 2007 we had to rebuild Penn and it was a tough few years, did we have more numbers? Yes. But it took an army of coaches, pulling kids out of the hallways, having fun, going on trips. It takes hard word. Honestly I’m going to use a guy like @QuinnHarrishe took a small cascade team in a couple of years and was making noise, they don’t have the numbers like Penn does either. Look at Wawasee they are a tiny rural school as well and they are producing state guys each year. I could name more schools if I wanted to. 
 All classing is going to do is water down Indiana wrestling. 

Success can be found anywhere! Just have to find a guy willing to put in the time for the kids!!! OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY! The more you make available to your kids the more everyone will grow

Hey everyone.

I made an announcement on Facebook but wanted to share here as well because I want a great coach to come take this over.

Yesterday I resigned as the Head Wrestling Coach at Cascade High School.

To many this will come as a shock and it has absolutely nothing to do with Cascade or the state of the program as both of those are in amazing shape.

I had to make a decision for myself and do what was best for me professionally to pursue other opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me the past 2 seasons!!

I can promise you will see me in a corner next season I just don’t know what colors I will be wearing!

Anyone interested in the job at Cascade please reach out I would love to get you in contact with the right people!
