To all my friends back in Kansas:

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive and well and back in Iowa, preparing for the upcoming season at my old hometown high school as head coach of the Vinton-Shellsburg Vikings. Thanks again for all the great years in Kansas during my tenures at Immaculata, Maur Hill and Atchison High and good luck to everyone as the season approaches. And yes, you'll still be hearing from me from time to time as I check in and follow things down thataway. Take care..

Yours in wrestling,
Jeff Holmes
Head Coach
Vinton-Shellsburg (IA) Vikings

P.S. -- Atchison will be participating in our dual meet tournament Dec. 11 in Vinton -- I'll make sure we get the results posted!
