Culver Academies Regional Training Center tonight at 6:00PM in the Culver Academies wrestling room. All are welcome. If you want to be great, go all in! Our RTC is full of state placers. Challenge yourself and be there tonight! - Coach Behling

THIS IS COACH BEHLING, HEAD COACH AT CULVER ACADEMIES. FIRST THINGS FIRST, MANZONA BRYANT IS A GREAT KID AND TOUGH AS NAILS. HE WOULDN'T BE IN THE SEMIS AT FLO IF HE WAS NOT. I AM NOT AT FLO WITH MANZONA, BUT I DID WATCH IT LIVE ONLINE ON FLOWRESTLING. WHILE WATCHING, THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WAS "THAT'S ILLEGAL." BOTH REFEREES CLEARLY AGREED. IN REGARDS TO THIS POST, I HAVE WATCHED THE RE-RUN OF THE VIDEO. THE COACH IN THE CORNER NEVER MADE EYE CONTACT WITH OR HAD ANY COMMUNICATION WITH MANZONA PRIOR TO HIM GRABBING HIS BACK. MANZONA DID LOOK BACK TO THE CORNER, BUT THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM. THE COACHES IN THE CORNER WERE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT MANZONA WHEN HE LOOKED OVER. IT IS CLEAR HE GRABBED HIS BACK WITH NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE COACH. GO TO TIME 7:52. I AM NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM CHRIS RUMPH WITH THIS POST. I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR HIM AND WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE SPORT OF WRESTLING. I THINK VERY HIGHLY OF HIM REGARDLESS OF THE MISTAKE HE MADE IN THIS MATCH.

Guest Clinicians tonight at Culver Academies RTC are: Grant Martsolf - Mishawaka State Runner-Up Steve Stahl - Elkhart Memorial State Champion See everyone in the room at 6:00 pm. We will wrestle lots of live as well! Coach Behling
