"Mark:
Doug actually is the head coach at one of the middle schools that feed into Fairmont. Van Buren Junior High."
|
And, he was a state place-winner in 1988 (5th) for THEE Groveport Madison Wrestling Cruisers. Went on to wrestle for Miami of Ohio. Class act.

I see the references to Frank Baxter at Kettering Fairmont and I have to chime in.
Frank wrestled at West End Y (for Rich Hunter referenced a few days ago). I am pretty sure that Frank was one year younger than my son so I have known him for a LONG time. He came along at the same time as Steve and Todd Haverdill. Both of them have been pretty successful as coaches too.
I don't think Frank would mind my saying that he was one of those guys who was slightly above average in ability but he always knew a ton about the sport. He knew the mechanics and he knew the players. As a matter of fact, he used to do kind of a Brakeman ranking and I swear he was better at it than Lord Brakeman himself.
I always knew that Frank would be an exceptional coach from the time he started coaching up north. His move to the Dayton area was a loss for NE Ohio but a definite plus for the SW area of the state. He is the kind of coach I would want for my own son if I had that choice. It is good to hear that others think of him the same way.

Well, one of the "newbies" was Tom Rowlands. Expect that most of us know who he is.

I wrestled in grade school and then quit for travel baseball and other sports. Got the bug to pick it up again my senior year at New Albany High School in Columbus. Had the incredible privilege to wrestle under Marc Cofer and Rex Holman. I wasn't very good but fell in love with the sport.
I went to Ohio State and wrestled for the club team there a bit and lived with some of the varsity wrestlers. I helped out a little bit back at New Albany while in college.
After I graduated I moved to Stafford, Virginia where I was an assistant varsity wrestling coach at North Stafford High School for 4 years. My wife and I just moved to Summerville, SC where I am about to head to the state tournament and wrap up my first year as an assistant coach down here.
I read the dotnet at least once everyday, so I figured I should start contributing :)

Once a day?
Where is your commitment!? : )
Niemann has some spaceadelic technology by which each post feeds directly into his synapses through a wire or something.
(Thanks for posting; glad to have you on board.)

The Biltmore would be a worthy addition to your tour.

Well where to start? Absolutely love this site! The name is Mark Holztrager. Started wrestling at the young age of 3 for St. Charles of the famed and now nonexistent C.Y.O league. Wrestled for them from 3-14 years old. Attending Normandy High School in Parma from 98-02 (135, 145, 152, 152). Placed 4th at districts as a sophomore (top 3) went that year. Finally made it to states as a senior and relaxed for one second and lost 7-5 in the match to place and ended any chance of becoming a placer. Became a union electrician and started coaching after high school. So that's my story, not much to it except a lot of years of being involved in this wonderful sport!
