Good Morning Parents,

 

Big night for our young men and program.  Should be fun.  Thanks to Gwen Brandon and all the mothers who helped with the team dinner(s).

 

Match tonight is at six.  Wrestlers should report at 4:15 to my classroom.

 

As of January 1 all wrestlers get a 2 pound allowance on the weight classes they have already made scratch weight.

 

JV will wrestle at New Lothrop Friday afternoon (4:30), Coach Armour will drive my truck out after 3 PM.  JV will weigh in tomorrow after practice.

 

Saturday the Varsity will travel to Bendle for a duals tournament.  Bus is at 7:15, Wrestling starts at 9 AM.

 

BEAT PORTLAND!

 

Coach Weber

Dear Parents,

 

Hope you had a great holiday spent with family and friends.  2012 is upon us with great memories to be had.  I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new year and cannot wait to get back to work on Wednesday.  As of this email we have 13 days until WE BEAT PORTLAND.

 

I expect all wrestlers to be at practice unless otherwise communicated beforehand.

 

Practice schedule below.

 

12-28 Practice 9- 12 noon

12-29 Practice 9- 12 noon w/ Bloom & Armour OR Haslett clinc with Coach Mills (NEED TO KNOW BY THE END of WEDS)

 

Already confirmed: Farris, Maki x2, Fleming x2

 

Details: $28, Subway lunch included plus Mills wrestling DVD for each wrestler. Two sessions 9:00-11:30 and 12:30 to 3.  Weber will attend and can drive up to 7, may need an extra driver.  I will bring water and gatorade.  We may even stop for a taco bell treat.

 

Please send confirmation to Mychal Grenawalt at mychal@matsidemichigan.com, he has details on who to make the check out to.

 

12-30 Practice 9 AM to Noon

 

Coach Weber will be driving to Goodrich following practice to scout future opponents, if any wrestler is intetrested to check out the Tournament of Champions they may ride along, they need to be ready to leave following practice and are resposible for admission and any food needs that day/evening.  Up to seven may ride!  A great opportunity to see what lies ahead!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to our program in 2011, and look forward to what 2012 will bring us.

 

Yours in BEATING PORTLAND! BURN THE BOAT

 

Coach Weber

Good Morning Parents,

 

What a great night!  From top to bottom every guy wrestled with some fire and we earned the benefit with two great wins.  We are in a great spot heading into the second half of the season to accomplish some great goals!

 

Rest of the year schedule is HERE.  I will communicate JV trip with wrestlers today so we know who is going.

 

Friday -

 

We will start setting up after weigh in on Friday at 5.

 

I believe the boys will want to eat following weigh in, if we could get a pasta dinner setup, that would be much appreciated.

 

Williamston Wrestling is known for hosting well-run tournaments and it is a credit to our parents and volunteers for the tireless effort to keep this going!

 

Friday we need a crew of dads to help Todd Demand setup the head table around 5 PM.

 

We will need someone to pickup SPAGS pizza on Friday around 5:45 for the seeding meeting.  We will also need an assortment of water and pop.

 

I am sure Michelle Diamond has the concessions setup for Friday and Saturday.

 

We will only setup tables in the new hallway.   The boys will work on getting these setup after mats are put down.

 

Saturday -

I will most likely be in the building by 7 AM.  We are going light on concessions so I am guessing any time after 7 AM is good for people to start showing up.

 

Stacey Murray gave me a list of workers, we will need help throughout the day.  Should you need a crash course in working a table, I will give an orientation at 8 AM.  We keep you fed and plenty drinks and you get the best seat in the house!

 

We would appreciate help from any MS or siblings of wrestlers to assist at the tables tapping or running bout cards.  I do know several MS wrestlers are already in for the weekend.

 

All Wrestlers should be at the HS at 7:30 Saturday, all wrestlers will get 5 matches.

 

Thanks in advance for all the hard work that will be put in over the weekend.

 

Yours in Hornet Wrestling, Coach Weber

Good Morning Parents,

 

We had a good showing this weekend at Vicksburg & Corunna.  We need to finish strong this week for a solid push come January. 

 

We are away Wednesday at Dansville and both squads home for our ICL tournament.  Please let Stacey Murray or Mika Hulliberger if you can assist with table help and Michelle Diamond for concessions.  We will need plenty of help throughout the day.

 

We have a larger than usual list on the eligibility scene.  Some wrestlers will go straight to homework lab this week and then come to practice at 4 PM and end at 6 PM.

 

Yours in Hornet Wrestling, Coach Weber

Three Rivers called today and had three teams cancel on them today.  So, Three Rivers called around and we will be joining the tournament at Vicksburg. 

 

Dual format.  Not sure details as of yet.  I should be getting an email from Three Rivers tonight with more information.  We will travel as planned.

 

I will check my email before I leave school tonight after little kid practice at 8 PM, if not expect an email in the AM.

 

Have a great evening!

Coach Weber

Bus will leave WHS in front of the flag pole at 7:30 AM.

 

There should be seating at Sexton, but I am not for certain.  They are going to run 3 mats in the gym and 2 mats in the practice room.

 

Thanks for all your support!

 

Coach Weber

The season is drawing closer...

 

We have had an outstanding start to a non-traditional start during the Thanksgiving Holiday season.

 

We will have practice today from 1 PM to 4:30 PM.  Please be careful and please contact me if your son needs a ride.

 

The scrimmage Saturday is at Lansing Sexton HS.  It begins at 9 AM and should last until about 3 PM.  Each wrestler should get about 3 matches.  The bus will leave the high school at 7:45 and wrestlers will need transportation home.  Please contact me if you will be unable to take your son home so we can prepare proper ride arrangements.

 

Michelle Diamond will be sending out an email regarding what is needed for the food table this weekend.  I do believe we have Gatorade left over from Mackinac.

 

Alpha weigh in is scheduled for Friday December 2nd.  Please ensure your wrestler is hydrated.  The boys are working hard at being at base weight much better than previous years.

 

We will have a booster meeting on Tuesday December 6th at 6 PM to make final plans for the ICL tournament (Dec 17).  We need all the help we can get.

 

Finally our first home dual is on Wednesday December 7th at 5:30 PM.   I will need 2 timers for the varsity matches and two tappers.  We will also have need for concession workers.

 

Enjoy the snow, must be wrestling season!

 

Have an awesome day, Coach Weber
