Congratulations Coach Rank on your award Michigan Wrestling Association (MWA) “State Assistant Coach of the Year”.
This really does show how you have earned the respect of other coaches.
I for one appreciate the effects you have put into the team and our young wrestlers. I know they will remember how you have worked with them for the rest of their lives. Coaches build memories.
Jim Frisch
I have mailed or delivered the raffle winners their checks.
A special "thank you" to Sam and Diane Myers who donated their $50 winnings back to the wrestling team.
Another "thank you" from our thousands of readers. This time to Dr. Oleyn. The good doctor won $50 in the raffle, but has just returned his check as a donation to the cause.
All,
Ken Smith

Congrats on a GREAT career....heal quickly and completely !!
Last week, on behalf of the Oxford wrestling team community, I sent $300 to the Zachary Johnston Bereavement Fund. The check was enclosed in a card signed by members of our high schoool team and coaches.
Men...you have the opportunity to achieve the incredible. Create a legacy, and do what no one else before you has done in Oxford. This is a special team with tremendous grit and will. Do as you have done all year...stay focused, composed and recognize that you are OXFORD WRESTLING…you are the feared opponent of everyone else there...no regrets!

Good luck, fellas !!
Well done men...let's pull together and re focus your attention to Wednesday evening. Forget the regular season scores, these will be very different teams, wrestling for very different reasons. Pull together and continue to pursue the dream.
P.S. Jim Frisch is awesome...thanks for keeping the food hot...you da man!!!
Nice Job yesterday boys!!! Keep it up - Parents -some of us are going up Friday night to Mt. Pleasant. We are staying at the Hampton Inn -phone- 989-772-5500.
Thanks to Jim "The Generator" Frisch. When the host school denied us electricity 
, the light bulb went on for Jim 
, who went all the way back home 
to get his generator so the team could enjoy hot food 
. Not wanting our boys to run out of gas 
, Jim helped restore their power 
and made it possible for another 
electrically-charged showing by our wrestlers.results to the other individual ditrict that will be at regionals.
http://www.mhsaa.com/sports/wrst/09d9.htm
The pairings for team regional are Oxford vs. Lapeer East , and Flint Kearsley vs. Linden. Pretty sure I am right this time.
Update....Linden beat Fenton 34 to 33.
Looks like linden didn't make it out of regionals http://www.mhsaa.com/sports/wrst/09tmreg.html second regional under division 2
Gentlemen,
Tomorrow you begin the post season...the real season. You have had a tremendous preseason and are now ready to pull together as a team and achieve the incredible. Rid yourself of doubt and fear and trust that your coaches have prepared you for victory. Seize the opportunity and focus on the goals.
Vincent Lombardi: The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
Samuel Smiles: Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.
Embrace this opportunity and recognize that you are not measured by the results, but by the effort put forth.
Good Luck on your journey.
Congrats guys! Keep up the hard work, it all pays off in the end. I know you guys can do it!
What a great team you guys are.
Keep getting better it's going to get harder going into March. You guys need to make a statement this year at Battle Creek and the Palace.
VALERIE.......
IF YOU STILL HAVE THE T SHIRTS I WOULD LIKE ONE PLEASE.
THANKS SHEILA BOURGOYNE
We have to be at the school at 6:30 on Saturday.
Does anyone know what time the wrestlers have to be at the school on Saturday for Macomb/Oakland?
There are 3 gray w/gold print parent t-shirts left. Size XL
Cost $12.00 each
**Contact Valarie Logan at (248) 628-8033 or have your child give AJ the money at practice and he’ll bring the shirt to practice the next day.
Darrell Burchfield - SV Wrestling"
Let's keep up that reputation.
Sometimes a punch in the face is necessary to alert us to where we are and what we need to work on to get better. I have watched this team rise up and meet every challenge. I expect nothing less at this point. I was proud to watch all the kids be so intently interested in each of their fellow team mates matches at Swan Valley. This was a great taste of what states will look like...use this setback to build on...finger pointing is not what we need. As we saw yesterday, this is 14 moving parts that must work together for what is best for the TEAM. Stand up, regroup and continue to focus on the big picture. Good luck the rest of the way, only as a TEAM will you reach your goal!
Imlay City Pictures are posted - Sorry it took so long
I believe there are pictures from the Imlay City tournament and they should be posted soon.
Are there any pictures from the Imlay City tourney?
Practice today is at 3pm.
What time is practice on Monday Jan 19?
This may be redundant but take a look at our 40 placers from tournaments on 1-10-09.
1st-10, 2nd-10, 3rd-7, 4th-5, 5th-4, 6th-4. Awesome.
Way to go Boys that's impressive, keep it up.
Port Huron Parents,
A HUGE thank-you to all of you!!!!
Thanks for all of your help and all of the delicious food that we had plenty of.
I appreciated it and I’m sure the boys did too!
Valarie Logan
Thank you to all the parents that donated food for the Swartz Creek this weekend. And to all the parents that helped me all day and for clean up. Boys, I was really proud of you for chipping in and helping with set up and clean up. Our spot was clean when we left. Good job! Also, I found a Central Michigan bag with wrestling gear in it. Micheal will bring it to practice Monday.
Great job today Wildcats!!!!
Thanks for all the work, time, and effort you guys are doing with this web site, and the e-mails keeping us informed. I really helps when you’re out of town and can't get to the meets.
Good Luck this weekend boy's, you make us proud parents.
3 tournaments? Chuckie's got a lot of work to do to get us those scouting reports on time!
There was some confusion regarding the concession stand for home meets. I apologize to those that thought I was handling the sign up for the entire season. Rod, please let me know if you do need my help with this. Janie P.
A big "thank you" is due the coaches AND the Athletic Director for putting together extra wrestling meets. With the large team we have this gives more of our athletes an opportunity to compete. Something they they all work hard for! Thanks coaches!
I want to Thank everyone for all that you do. I enjoy being part of this wonderful team/ parents.
As a 2nd year parent I'm very thankful to the coaches, boy's and other parents for being part of such a wonderful organization.
Nice job today guys, once again you looked impressive. Next Up- league duals. Time to be a bit more conscious of the "little things". To wildcat parents: you are the best. I know it is hard to be at a meet on a tuesday with work, cleaning up after a busy holiday season and the countless other things going on. We can't make this happen without your support, so thank you all for your time, effort and support.
I still have a few cans of Kennedy Skin Creme left to sell. I'll bring them with me to all the meets until there gone. I really feel that every wrestler should be using this (or something) before they get on that dirty mat, it's cheap insurance against some nasty skin problems.
Jim Frisch
Does anyone from Oxford have pictures of the 152 semi finals with the Walled Lake Western wrestler. I had a guy there photograph my nephew, but when I went to purchase pictures at the booth the guy there wouldn't talk to me. I would appreciate it if you could post some or tell me where I can buy some.
Several positive comments were made by the H.S. Coaches. They were very impressed and appreciative of our "hospitality" on Saturday. Thanks again to all of you that helped. Janie Peasley
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Oxford Wrestling community for the efforts of all for what we are all about ...... When duty calls, there is not a better group of people to step up and to represent so selflessly, work harder than is expected, and make me so proud to say I am from !!!!! The effort from our team is a true reflection on the character they have learned from the examples the many volunteers put forth every day. I count my blessings to be able to call you all my friends and teammates. The rest of the county has a tremendous amount of respect for the humble, hard work and class our people put forth to make the tourney and our season a great success.
Doug Myer
P.S. A team and community is only as strong as the sum of its parts.

Wildcats, you guys looked excellent today and I'm proud of you all. Have a good weekend and be ready to work hard this coming week, county is just 6 days away!!
