To the Kansas wrestling community:
As you say your prayers over the coming days, I would like ask you all to include the Barba family of Leavenworth in them.
Many of you in the northeastern part of the state probably know Dennis Barba. Dennis is a long-time official and for a few years was the head coach at Immaculata. He and his wife Pam's oldest daughter, 22-year old Corrine, is in a Texas hospital tonight, fighting for her life with an unknown heart condition.
Corrine served as a wrestling Mat-Aide at Imac for several seasons, and while she graduated before I started coaching there, she did a great job of training her kid sister Lory. Lory was my top Aide for three seasons.
On this forum we spend a lot of time on pretty trivial subjects as if they were the most important thing in the world. Tonight and in the coming days, please put all of that aside and say a little prayer for Corrine Barba.
Sincerely,
Jeff Holmes
Maur Hill Prep
(formerly at Immaculata)
