CVHS Wrestling State Tournament

2012-02-22T12:17:00.000-08:00

Crescent Valley qualified five wrestlers for the State Tournament on Friday and Saturday this week. They are:

Justice Lamer (113)
Alex Rich (126)
Jason Rizk (132)
Brennan King (145) and
Will Heck (Hwt)

We will leave on Thursday after practice (6:00 p.m.) and return on Sunday morning. The school has provided three rooms for the team at the Courtyard by Marriott in Portland. In addition the school provided $38 per wrestler for meals.

Room Assignments are as follows:

Room 1 - Alex Rich, Justice Lamer, WIll Heck
Room 2 - Brennan King, Jason Rizk
Room 3 - Coaches

Tournament details (including brackets) are online at http://www.osaa.org/wrestling/

Wrestling starts at 8:30 a.m. on Friday with wrestling on 12 mats. Each bout has a match number assigned which should give you an idea of when a wrestler will be competing.

I would encourage other wrestlers to head up to Portland to watch the wrestling on Friday and/or Saturday so that you can gain perspective on the event in preparation for next year and to support your teammates that are competing. I would suggest carpooling or coordinating travel to conserve resources. Obviously if you are behind in your studies, I would not recommend skipping school Friday. Student tickets for both days are $25 or $8 per session.

Wrestlers not competing this weekend need to have gear turned in at practice on Thursday.

Go Raiders!

Philomath Dual

We confirmed our position as Benton County Champs by beating Philomath in a head-to-head dual 37-36. I was extremely proud of our wrestlers and everyone played their part in securing the victory for the Raiders! Thank you to everyone that helped make the event a success!

Sheldon Tournament

14 teams: Sheldon, Willamette, Springfield, Marist, S. Eugene, N. Eugene, Siletz Valley Early College Academy, Triangle Lake, Oakridge, Harrisburg, Churchill, Gold Beach

Be at the wrestling room at 5:30 on weight. Bus departs at 6:00 a.m.

We have 1lb allowance.

Make sure your gear is clean and remember to wipe down your headgear. Bring a towel and soap to shower after the meet.

They may have a novice tournament as well, so if you want to wrestle novice, let me know.

NEW Gear Packs

$45 for shorts, t-shirt, and hooded sweatshirt - sizes small - XL $50 for 2XL - call of email me if interested. I am out of backpacks but can order more if folks are interested. Between this gear and the shoe inventory I spent about $3,000 of my own money. I would like to recoup some of that if possible so if you haven't got gear yet, please consider it. Thanks.

Picture Packs

Should be in next week.

Oregon Classic

We will leave after school on Thursday the 12th. We are staying at the Super 8 in Redmond.

I will be working on a revised lineup since there will be a 4 lb allowance at the Classic and we have a few wrestlers that I know will miss the tournament - Brock Wilson and Grant Choitz.

A $100 donation per wrestler going to the Classic would really help offset the costs.

We are in a 4 team pool with Hermiston, Lebanon, & Marshfield. We are guaranteed 4 duals. We would have to win one of our first three to make it to the second day of competition. The bus will return on Saturday. The competition schedule is posted at http://oregonwrestle.com/

Cadets will be able to wrestle for Orange Crush in the Sunday open bracket tournament. Great experience for our younger wrestlers! I know Alex and Justice plan on wrestling.

Cadets are wrestlers born in 1996-1997. The Cadet weight classes are as follows: 88, 94, 100, 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, 285

Please let me know if you want to wrestle as a Cadet on Sunday since we may have to make other arrangements with the school prior to departing.

Fundraisers

Despite the fact that I have tried really hard not to use our school accounts, they are still lower than I thought they would be. If you haven't sent out your fundraiser letters, please do so. Thanks.

2011-12-31T15:19:00.001-08:00

Down time today and tomorrow!

After a number of problems at the school on Friday, we need to do a better job managing our time and schedule. We came out wrestling really flat and all our guys seemed overly tired. You have to have an early bedtime on the night before competition. The best way to address this is to have a regular set bedtime that your body can get used to. Much better to go to bed early and get up early.

Use this weekend to make sure you are caught up in school. If you have projects due when you get back make sure you get them done now.

Also, please be aware of your weight and don't go overboard with meals etc. Lots of small meals and water. Scratch weight again this week.

We will have a 4lb allowance for the Oregon Classic.

Make sure your gear is clean and if you are not wrestling Varsity for the Philomath Dual, I will need your varsity warmups at practice Monday morning.

Schedule This Week

Monday - CV Practice 8:00 a.m. at CV - Club Practice 4:00 p.m. at Oregon State

Tuesday -CV Practice 4:00 p.m. at CV

Wednesday - 6:30 a.m. at CV - Philomath Dual 4:30 p.m at CV (JV wrestling starts about 6:00 and Varsity about 7)

Kate Rowney has volunteered to run the concessions. Thanks Kate!

Varsity wrestlers should pick an intro song and email me or Facebook me their request.

Don King printed some flyers and we need to get them posted at the school.

Oregon Classic

The Oregon Classic in Redmond is coming up quickly. This is essentially the DUAL meet State Championships for Oregon. The trip will cost about $2500. It may be that wrestler's parents need to help with the expense by sending a check for <$100. I need some feedback on this. I am still working on an itinerary but at this point we will leave Thursday the 12th after school. We are staying at the Super 8 in Redmond. More details as we get closer.

January 4, 2012 at CVHS! Philomath is looking tough and we need to be ready to compete. I will not finalize the lineup until next weekend.

This is also Senior night and I need a Junior parent to coordinate that part of the event. Please email me if you are interested in taking on that responsibility.

Kate Rowney has volunteered to run the concessions. Thanks Kate!

Oregon Classic

The Oregon Classic in Redmond is coming up quickly. The trip will cost about $2500. It may be that wrestler's parents need to help with the expense by sending a check for <$100. I am still working on an itinerary but at this point we will leave Thursday the 12th after school. We are staying at the Super 8 in Redmond. More details as we get closer.

Fundraisers

We have received several donations as a result of our fundraising letter.

CVHS Wrestling Father's Letter To His Son

2011-12-18T17:43:00.001-08:00

I know I have shared this with some of you before, but I think it is worth rereading every year especially when your wrestlers are in the start of the competition season. It really helps keep things in perspective. This is very much what I would have liked to have written to Alex when he was 9 and struggling to compete.

Here is the link and I have included the text below.

A father's letter to his son

34 Votes

I wrote this after a disappointing tournament when my son was 9 years old. I wrote it as a way to ease my emotions and to also give myself some perspective of my own disappointment in my son's performance. I've yet to give it to him, and I don't know when or if I ever will, but I thought someone should read it.

To my son,
You had a tough time on the mat today and the ride home was pretty quiet. I admit I was very disappointed but I later came to realize that I shouldn't be and that it is all part of the journey you are taking.
When I watch you on the mat I worry that you are doing battle while unprepared and that I have failed in your preparation. As a father that is my greatest fear, that you are unprepared to face the challenges that will come before you. I want you to be prepared for your match, but I've come to realize that it is the matches themselves that, are in the long run, win or lose, the things that ARE preparing you.
I think that the greatest benefit from wrestling is learning to face challenges and to demand the most from yourself. You learn to fight when you think there is no more fight left within you. You learn to get up after you've fallen, time and time again. You learn about sacrifice and about pain. You learn to endure and to overcome. This is what I want for you, not because I wrestled, but because these lessons are the true gifts of this sport. So, those losses today were actually part of this gift, and an important part of the journey.
My dream for you is to not just win championships and fill your room with medals. My dream for you is much greater and I hope you get much more from wrestling. I hope you learn to strive for greatness even if you fail in the attempt. I hope you learn to get up one more time when you think you can't get up any longer. I hope you learn to not only face your fears, but to stare them down.
Wrestling isn't about winning. It is about the desire to win. It isn't about success, but rather the determination to succeed. I want you to succeed as a wrestler, not to win state championships, but I want you to be a successful wrestler so you learn to be all that you can. This sport can help teach you that, if you let it. I look forward to the seasons of our future as you go through these lessons and I'll be in your corner for each and every one of them. I love you.
Dad
