CoachJ Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Don't get much state-wide wrestling news where I am now and have a few kids from my old place I think could have a great year this year (Martinko, Wenninger specifically). Anybody know how they're doing?
Penn71 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Martinko had his first match on Wednesday. He's been recovering from a back injury during football. Wenninger is 28-1 with his only loss to Richard Starks (State Champion). Wenninger won the Jeffersonville, In tourn. which was loaded with some of the top 189 wrestlers in Southern Indiana. Drew Robinson was ranked, but is out for the season from a neck injury during football. Matt Martin is starting again, but over-analyzes everything and doesn't trust his instincts. He's at 12-13 right now. As a whole, the team is really banged up. 103 - quit 112 - Hasn't made weight 119 - Knee injury, only has 6 matches 125 - 130 - Dislocated elbow, should be back in mid-Jan 135 - Moved out of district 140 - Ringworm 145 - Neck injury, out for season 152 - 160 - Bleeding polyp in Colon 171 - Parents took him on "vacation" for two weeks, so he needs to get back to form 189 - 215 - Just back from injury 275 - Kid that's wrestling here only weighs 206, and his knee is injured. In spite of all this, the team has placed high in tournaments and hung in close in most of the dual meets. Thanks for asking. Hope all is better than you hoped for in your new location. Best wishes for the New Year.
CoachJ Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 Wow! That's a HUGE run of bad luck in just about EVERY class...but I always thought the head guy there does a great job IN SPITE OF the many obstacles he has. Hope to get over to see many of them go at it in Frankfort later.
DoughBoy01 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 umm periodically he is uninjured. so i guess he has been healthy before.
Penn71 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Unfortunately, wrestling follows football. After putting everything on the line during the football season, he has some part of his body that has suffered. Freshman and Junior year it was shoulders (resulting in operations) and the other years it was muscle tears in his lower back.
