Scott,

You obviously have no idea who "smokeycabin" is...Sean is one of those in the state that has given countless hours to this sport and has asked for nothing in return. He coached kids wrestling before his own son was old enough and has continued to be the head coach for our club (STA) even though his son is now in college (check out West Point wrestling).

He could easily walk away from it all but he is one of those rare people who is in it not just for his own kid but for every kid who walks thru the doors at STA Wrestling. You usually also catch him helping out at other tournaments (after he is done in hospitality room) helping hang brackets, even handing out medals.

Sean has been nothing but a positive influence on my two kids who wrestle. I imagine a lot of others in the community would say the same thing. Ask his former wrestlers who are now coaching in high school or wrestling in college, ask many of the current wrestlers at St. Thomas Aquinas or at other Jo Co high schools, ask current members of STA Wrestling...we would not have STA Wrestling without Sean and the wrestling community as a whole would lose somebody who is dedicated to this sport.

Oh...and I have been guilty of sneaking coolers into gyms (against the rules) almost every weekend I can get away with it.
