Great Job to the team and their coaches

who was outstanding wreatler and coach of the year?

Outstnding wrestler was Kendric Maple of Heights and Outstanding coach was Southeast coach, but sorry can't remember his name, I beleive he was an assistant at BC last year. Both people very deserving of their honors.

The SE Coach is David Tawater. As mentioned he was an assistant at BC last year and is very deserving of this recognition.

Beyond his knowledge and skill in the sport, he taught my son alot about goals and achievement when he was at BC. In fact, he still is teaching him.

Yesterday my son really messed up in a match against a SE kid and got caught. When Coach Tawater shook his hand after the match, I noticed that he pulled my son close and talked to him. I asked my son what he said to him, and what Coach Tawater said was "Hey, you were clearly the better wrestler, you got caught. But remember that this doesn't mean s--t, as next weekend is regionals. Get this out of your head and get ready for regionals."

I thought that was a classy thing to do and exemplifies who Coach Tawater is.

Just had to clarify:

The OW award went to Maple of Heights and Diamond Wilson of North.

Why did they split the OW when Wilson didn't even win his weight class, for cryin' out loud he got pinned in his finals match?

As I understand it, the results which the Eagle obtained, which were referenced above, were incorrect. Wilson won by fall in the finals over his opponent.
