To Coach Faurote and all the Bellmont wrestling family my thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your friend and mentor. Throughout the years that we competed with the Braves I always knew of Coach Friedt but was never fortunate enough to get to know him on a personal level.
From reading all of the wonderful tributes and memories shared here it is evident that he was a special man and a huge part of making Bellmont wrestling the great program that it is today. I have always had the greatest respect for Coach Faurote and his staff and the fierce competitors who represent the Braves each and every year. Now I know the rest of the story.
May he rest in peace.
