Crimson Wrestlers and Families-

So nice to be back on the mats.  We had a great week of practice.  Our guys are hungry and look like they didn’t miss a beat.  

It’s been a windy road – filled with lots of interesting twists and turns and now it’s here – Section week!  And as an added bonus in this crazy year we get the Super Section this week as well.  No individual tournaments all season and now doubling up in one week.  Let’s go! 

Postseason Update:

Individual Sections – On March 17th the section will have an individual tournament at St. Michael Senior High.  The top four individuals from this tournament will advance to the Individual Super-Section tournament on March 20th – also at St. Michael high school.  The top two wrestlers on that day will advance to the state tournament on March 25th.  

For Wednesday’s individual sections each participating wrestler is allowed two fans.  If we have any unused spectator spots it would be great to be able to get an extra coach or two in as fans since we are currently only allowed three coaches for this event. 

The schedule for the section event is as follows:

2:30p the bus will leave for St. Michael.  Note:  Participating junior high students will need to get a note to leave school early and get a ride to the high school in time to ride the bus.

  • 3:30p is Skin Checks and Weigh-ins at St. Michael.

  • 5p wrestling begins.  There will be three rounds of wrestling with the final round beginning at around 8p.  It will take two wins (or a win and a bye) to qualify for Saturday’s tournament.  There will be no placing matches – only attempting to figure out the top four wrestlers.       

  • These will be the most intense matches of the season to date.  Excited to be a part of it!

Here are the other details for the week:

Weekly Schedule – Practices:

Monday, 3.15.21 – Practice at 3p.

Tuesday, 3.16.21 – Practice at 3p.

Wednesday, 3.17.21 – Individual Sections at St. Michael (no practice).  

Thursday, 3.18.21 – Practice at 3p.  I ask all wrestlers to continue to attend practice through the end of the season for ALL teammates.  This will give each team member the best opportunity to finish their season wrestling their best.  Thank you all for supporting your brothers on the team!

Friday, 3.19.21 – Practice at 3p.  

Saturday, 3.20.21 – I believe weigh-ins will be at 8:30a – but that is yet to be finalized.  If that is the case we will plan to leave MGSH at 7:30a.   

Mat Boss Video Access

We have parents/students/wrestlers who are video-taping (as well as scoring) all of our matches.  This allows each wrestler to watch their matches once they are uploaded.  This is how that is done: 

Here is a video showing you how to gain access to your matches:

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Technique Video of the Week

Same as last week:

For the remainder we’ll be focusing most of our time on making sure the areas where we plan to score the majority of our points are as crisp as can be.  This means lots of Plan A’s and Plan B’s from all positions.  With that in mind I’d like to encourage everyone to watch some Video’s of their favorite moves.  The idea would be to possibly pick up some extra details or little tricks as well as see some additional set-ups that help open up these attacks.  In short, I suggest each wrestler google their personal Plan A’s and Plan B’s from feet, top and the bottom positions.  

Some of those techniques (as well as many other good ones) can also be found here:

All season you work for this week – and now it’s here.  These wrestlers have overcome a lot to put themselves in position to finish strong.  No matter what happens each of our wrestlers have a lot to be proud of.  Can’t wait to see each wrestler put it all on the line and go after their goals!  

 

Let me know if anyone has any questions.
