You will have to wait a little longer

I am still putting some facts together, but there is much to tell...

Transfers and Move-ins



Quittings



and a Drug Bust or Two



Stay tuned

Be Back Soon!

Been a while but now it's almost time to get rolling again.

I have lots of news; some good, some bad, and some inevitable.



More to come soon...

"The Streak"

I was very impressed with the Documentary last night, and I think the wrestling community at large should be pleased with the Documentary because of the positive attention it brings, and on a national level to boot.

The show gave great perspective on the Brandon machine, the dedication is takes to maintain such an entity, and the pride behind the thousands of kids that have benefited from the program.

I was further impressed with Coach Cozart; I admire his singular dedication to his family, to his team, and to his school and community. Brandon is a great example of what can be accomplished with a great amount of dedication and perseverance.

The Brandon parents should also be commended; the support system they have engineered for those kids is second to none, and people like Cesar Grajales should accept the credit that is due them for being an integral cog in the Brandon machine.

I enjoyed the Documentary very much, I like the program better now that I know more about it. I saw a human, vulnerable, and emotional side of Coach Cozart that I would not have known was there if not for this film. I believed Coach Cozart when he stated that he started the Graves so that they would get beat, but all the while doing his damndest to prolong it. He was gracious in defeat, and it seemed to me that he was even a little relieved though obviously saddened.

My congratulations one final time to Brandon for having their streak end in such a sporting and memorable fashion. My Congratulations to South Dade and to Coach Victor Balmeceda for their fantastic performance and the graciousness they showed in victory. And my Congratulations to ESPN, and the Wrestling community for being the beneficiaries of such a fine broadcast.

Mail Call !

Some of you have written me while I was away and it took me till now to respond. Please don't be upset with me, this is a very busy time of the year for me and my attentions were on other matters.

Still I have found time to answer your queries, so have at them.

For the rest of you, feel free to use this most current post for any new comments that you may wish to post.

My thanks to all of you that keeping the site moderately operational in my absence, I appreciate your loyalty.

See you all soon.

"The Streak" on ESPN2

I was contacted by one of my sources and asked to please post the following information so here goes.

On April 29th at 9:00pm EST ESPN2 will air “The Streak”; the documentary of the 07’ – 08’ wrestling season of the Brandon Eagles. It will include the dramatic end of the longest streak in sports history, as well as Brandon’s triumphant victory in yet another state tournament.

“The Streak” in quotations… I coined the phrase nearly nine years ago when I began the campaign to get Brandon to wrestle a legitimate schedule, I wonder if ESPN reads the Spiderman and stole the name I not only fashioned but made fashionable.

LOL!!! Relax folks I am just kidding, no delusions of grandeur here, just a little levity.

Congratulations once again to Brandon, and also to South Dade.

Talk about it

This is a busy time of the year for me so I will only be in an out and I will only post once in a while. Unless there is some breaking news, there won't be many reports. You may use this post to converse with each other back and forth or just to make commentary in the interim.

Time For A Respite

This is how I like to spend the Off Season.

I took this picture just for you guys, Do you think you might be able to identify me by my foot?
LOL!!!

Some of you are concerned that that site is experiencing a lull, well in fact it is. The meat of the season is over, and all there is to report now is match results from the off season which I find quite boring. There will be the occasional flare up, and when something happens I will be here to talk about it, but those events will be few and far between.

I can't make news where there is none. Besides, this is my M/O I kind of disappear in the off-season, I like taking a break; it brings me back refreshed and refocused. The site may in fact die down for now, but when things get hot again everyone will return to play.

So for now things around here will grow a little sedate, and if when things heat up again people decide to return great, and if they decide not to return, then so be it, I have had a great run and nothing last's forever, as we are aware that even Rome fell. I did what I set out to do, I proved I can have my own site and it can run on my content with your input, and most importantly with the freedom of expression which I happen to find sacrosanct.

So my apologies to those of you who need one, but this is the way it is.

If however one of you would like to take on some administrative privileges and add content to the site to give it more life, I would not be opposed. We would need to talk privately and see what we could agree to, but I would be willing to share the administrative part if one of you would like to take over for my off season semi hiatus.

See you on the BLOG!
