I haven't heard that he was going anywhere. Did you hear that he was leaving, or leaving to coach somewhere else?

January??????? He wrestled in January, February, and March.....

Carroll County will have coming back: Quesenberry,Schuster, Ogle, Merrion, Puckett, and will have a middle school state champ at 275. They will have a pretty tough team next year.....Coach Morris is very intense, and will have a good team next year. Graham has returning: Bastukban, Coppola, Holbrook, Williams, Barreras, Cook, and Martin (those are the starters, but on their website they have like 20 wrestlers listed). They should have a decent team having five of those starters having placed in the top six in the regionals last year). Grundy has returning: Hankins, KStiltner, Smith, AStiltner, McCowan, MOwens, DOwens, Stiltner275 (all qualified for the states except 275. will have a very tough team next year!) Richlands has returning: Simmons, Jackson, Shelton, Blankenship, Hubbard, and Looney (all six are tough, and team should do well) Tazewell has returning: Wilson, Richardson, Bowman, Thomas, McDaniel, Comer, Salinas (overall young, but with Wilson, and McDaniel leading the pack-should have a good season) Overall in the district Grundy should carry it easily, but the fight for second will be interesting! Graham is probably favored, but Carroll, Richlands, or Tazewell could easily slip in...It'll be a good season!!! Looking foward to it!

Coach Schwab won a Real Pro Wrestling National Championship today! He was also named the Most Outstanding Wrestler! He, along with his team, the Iowa Stalkers-Coached by Virginia Tech Head Coach won the Team Championship! Congratulations Coach Brands, Coach Schwab, and Coach Hand!

Wrestled tough in his bracket. Won his first first match against Brian Keck 15-0. But he fell in the semi final match 9-8. It was a great match though. Hand started out being down 5-0, came back to be up 8-7, but lost on a takedown in the last 30 seconds. The Iowa Stalkers team, coached by VT Head Coach Tom Brands, is in a commanding lead going in to the finals matches, which will be next week-May 15-should be exciting!!!!! Other VT asst. coach Doug Schwab is in the finals. If you haven't gotten to see any watch the finals on PAX at 4:00 next Sunday, May 15.

Prater lost to Eustice 3-2 (VirginiaTech ) Prater, Tyde (Profile) Weight 149 (Iowa ) Eustice, Ty (Profile) Score 2 Period 3 Score 3 Match Notes No score in the first period. Eustice chooses bottom to start the 2nd and needs only 4 seconds to escape. Eustice goes up 3-0 with a double leg takedown. Prater cuts the lead to 3-1 with an escape. In the third Prater selects down. Prater scores an escape to come within a point. Prater pressures but Eustice takes only 1 stall call and pulls out the victory.

Tyde is one match from being an All-American!!!!! His next match is with Ty Eustice of Iowa. Eustice defeated Prater 12-5 earlier in the season. Tyde has a lot of heart, and has improved tremendously throughout the season!!!! Let's hope that he can pull this one out!!!! Here is the link to his bracket: http://www.ncaasports.com/wrestling/mens/brackets/2005/2005_NCAA_Div_I_2005_NCAA_Div_1_149_LbsPrint here is the link to a write up about Prater, and the other Tech wrestlers who qualified for nationals: http://www.hokiesports.com/wrestling/recaps/03182005aaa.html GET 'EM TYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prater loses in first round of NCAA Tourney...but bounces back in the 1st round Consolations. He lost in the first round 8-4 to Jeff Harrison of Northern Iowa. He defeated Cody Greene of Missouri 9-7 in the first round consolations.

I thought that the swdistrict was pretty good also!!! From Grundy 12 wrestlers qualified for the state tournament, with 5 of them placing. From Graham 5 wrestlers qualified, with one placing, and one being one match from placing. Carroll County qualified 2 wrestlers, on of them placed, and the other came one match from placing. Richlands had 2 wrestlers qualify, and Tazewell had one qualify.

Tyde Prater, a three time state champion from Grundy currently wrestles for Virginia Tech. This weekend, he captured the 149 lb. weight class ACC Title! Congratulations to Tyde, and best of luck to him in the NCAA National Championships.

Grundy came in 2nd at the State Tourney this weekend. They had five place in the top six. Aaron Stiltner, and Jimmy Penley were both Runner up. Aaron Looney was 3rd, Kris Stiltner was 4th, and Jon Brown was 5th. Graham had one place-Travis Walk was 6th. Carroll County also had one place-Brock Bowman was 6th. Marion had one place-Brandon Hall was 4th. Virginia High had one place-Dustin Roberts was 5th. Martinsville had two place-Dorian Carter was 5th, and Allen Shelton was 5th. Bassett had two place-Chaunson Ross was 3rd, Tim Miller was 5th. In single A Kellie Nichols of Patrick Henry-Glade Springs was a state champion.

After the first session, Grundy is in 2nd place behind Christiansburg. All 14 of Christiansburg wrestlers are in the Championship Quarterfinals. Grundy has 6 in the Championship Quarterfinals (K.Stiltner,A.Stiltner,Brown, Penley,Looney,Lee) and 3 in the 2nd Round consolations(Smith,McCowan,D.Owens). Carroll County has 2 wrestlers in the Championship Quarterfinals(Schuster, and Bowman). Graham has 1 wrestler in the Championship Quarterfinals(Henderson), and 1 in the consolations(Walk). Martinsville still has 3 wrestlers in it (1 in the Quarters, and 2 in the consolations). Bassett still has four in it (3 in the quarters and 1 in the consolations).

Shelton is definately a class act, and a good guy. He could very well win the state tournament at 171. Henderson should do good as well (should place in the top six).
