Dixie Nationals

Commerce had 3 wrestlers participate in the Dixie Nationals at the World Congress Center on Monday. This is a national event with kids from across the nation participating. To win 1 or 2 matches at a national event is a huge accomplishment, but to place is exceptional. Our boys showed out, we had two 1st placers and one 3rd placer.

Results:

Chance McClure – Tournament Champion (189 lb High School division)
Nick Patrick – Tournament Champion (10 under 100 lb class)
Jake Brewer – 3rd Place (12 under 61 lb class)

Congratulations to Chance McClure, Nick Patrick, and Jake Brewer. Great Job!!

Holiday Practice Schedule

Reminder: There is no practice this week due to Christmas Holidays. At this time there is no practice scheduled for next week of December 28th. However I will be glad to hold 1 or 2 practices next week if we have enough kids (10-15) interested. So if you want to practice the week of December 28th, please let me know ASAP and I will get a practice time set up.

THANKS!!!

Thanks to all that helped make our event last Saturday a success. Much appreciated!!!

Commerce Dual Info - This Saturday 9 AM

LOCATION: Commerce High School; 272 Lakeview Dr; Commerce, Ga. It will be in the schools new Auxiliary Gym which is located at the top entrance to our football field. Due to construction you will need to drive up to the front office area of the high school. We will have signs directing where to go to park.

TIME: Starts at 9AM. Gym will be open by 8AM. (Recommend having wrestlers there by 8:30 at latest). My goal is to be done by 1 PM (worst case we will end at 2 PM).

ADMISSION: $2 per person (wrestlers free)

CONCESSIONS: Will be provided for entire event.

***We will run 3 mats, 1-1-1 periods. It looks like all kids will have minimum of 2 matches, with most getting 3+ matches. Please advise all parents that only coaches are allowed on mat during a match. No parents, no other wrestlers. Due to liability issues we will be strict on this. So coaches please help us monitor this. ***

Commerce Duals Saturday December 19th

Next Saturday is our dual match at Commerce. We will be wrestling kids from Jefferson, East Jackson, Banks, and Rabun County. All kids will be grouped by age/weight/experience/ability. I need to know by Monday December 15th if your child is NOT wrestling in this tournament. If he is wrestling you do not need to contact me. It is very important you let me know if he’s not participating so I do not schedule him a match.

Commerce Wrestling Picture Day

We will be doing individual and group pictures this Monday December 14th at the Commerce Elementary School Cafeteria from 4:30 til 6:00PM. See schedule below of the times your child needs to be present for their individual photo. The group photo will follow at 5:45. Be sure to wear your Commerce Singlet. If you do not have a Commerce Singlet, please contact Terri Trudnak @ TTrudnak@commerce-city.k12.ga.us . We will hand out additional info on photos Thursday night at practice.

VERY IMPORTANT:

***Coach Cash has allowed us to use the lunch room for photos, so please follow these guidelines:
1. Do not allow your child to run around the school. All wrestlers and parents are restricted to the cafeteria area only.
2. Please help us to leave the cafeteria as we found it (pick up any trash, put tables and chairs back like they were when we arrived).

Thanks for your cooperation.
