Indiana_Wrestler

I believe Jordan Slivka moved from The southside of Indianapolis, where their oldest son wrestled at St. Barbara's and Roncalli to Anderson IN because of his families buisness. At the time they heard Shendandoah was the best academic school around so they sent There oldest son Johnny there. The family was also a big wrestling family (John Slivka coached at roncalli for several years) and at the time Shenandoah did not even have a wrestling club, so they sent Jordan to Yorktown wrestling club, which was an equal distance from where they lived to shendadoah. jordan wrestled with Yorktown, Coach McCormick and Coach Dulaney. After a couple years they went their separate ways. John Slivka decided to start a Elementary team for Shenandoah and he take over the head coaching job for the middle school wrestling coach. He started coaching a couple of, now sophomores as they seemed to be the most fascinated in the sport of wrestling. When John Slivka took over the middle school team 3/4 the way into the season, the now sophomore class were 5th graders, and the middle school team went 2-19, as the sophomore class were 6th graders John Slivka and Gary Black Sr. led the team, Mostly filled with 6th graders to a 19-2 Record only losing to the power house Yorktown (only winning 2 matches) and center grove the next year the team went 19-2 with the same exact schedule the next year the Raiders went 22-2 Overcoming Yorktown. As they got into their summer year of 8th grade Jordan Slivka decided to forward his education and Athletic career to Cathedral for their academic and religious purposes, and soon moved down to their house back in Greenwood. As Jordan Slivka left Shenandoah they only worked harder to get better. They overcame a lot of things including a loss in a key wrestler but they didn't let that stop them. As shendandoah had a great team in 2015-2016 they had one of their first or maybe first ever freshmen state qualifier, Hayden Lohrey 113 lbs. now this season Shenandoah has only been climbing higher to the top as they try to get their school their first ever State championship in any Men's sport up in FT.
