I have a great deal of respect for everyone involved with the STA kid's club and consider many of them good friends. Sean and I spent some time coaching with the JC Renegades and I helped at STA for a while after Chaz got tired of playing basketball. We even thought about Chaz going to high school at STA since he went to Catholic grade school up until the 6th grade. Chaz was, and still is, good friends with Neil Cisper, Andy Hurla, and several others in the program. There was no recruiting but from a wrestling standpoint, there didn't need to be. Who wouldn't want to be part of a successful team and have lots of good training partners. That's one thing Chaz has missed out on at SMNW. However, because of things like drumline, friends, etc. we all decided that he would stay at SMNW. My point is, if there is one, is you don't need to recruit if you've good something good. On another point, I tried for years to get the former coach at SMNW to let me start a kid's program and he refused. I believe the high school program is suffering right now because of that. Many of the kids that are wrestling for us have only a year or two of experience. However, watch for SMNW to improve in the future. Coach Newcomb has fully supported a kid's program and in just the 2nd year, they have around 40 wrestlers and have had some great success at novice and open tournaments. They have a number of dads helping who have wrestled in either high school or college. I'm sure all of the kids won't go to SMNW, but many will. There's not a doubt in my mind that without a kid's program, you will not have a successful high school program. And that's all I have to say about that. rhill
