Well, here are some for you to view. The first is of long time Hall of Fame coach Milt Sherman as he introduces one of the Inductees. The second is Jerry Daniels, also known affectionately as ‘Mouse’ along with a list of other previous inductees. The next two are of the cover and inside of the printed program. Next is former long time UNC coach Bill Lam who has been a great worker for the WHOF efforts in North Carolina. Next two pictures are of the new Inductees and the last two are of one of the Inductees speaking and then with chapter president Coach Rex Wells and Milt Sherman.

R.C. LaHaye named Lander’s head wrestling coach

Editor’s Notes; This new program is taking a strong step in hiring a successful head coach a year before they will start competing. LaHaye did well with a new program when Gran Canyon started and he could repeat that in South Carolina.

GREENWOOD – Lander has tabbed its first wrestling coach as athletics director Brian Reese announced the hiring of R.C. LaHaye on Tuesday.
LaHaye brings to Lander an impressive career both as a competitor and coach. LaHaye spent the past four seasons as the associate head coach at Newberry after serving as the first head coach for Grand Canyon’s wrestling program for seven years. “Today starts a new chapter for Lander Athletics with the hiring of R.C. LaHaye as our first head wrestling coach,” said Reese. “Coach LaHaye brings a deep understanding of the sport and a passion for leading young men. This hire should give Bearcat fans great confidence that bright days are ahead for Lander wrestling.” “I would like the thank Brian Reese and President Consentino for the opportunity to start the wrestling program at Lander,” LaHaye said. “I couldn’t be more excited to hit the ground running and start recruiting the first crop of Bearcat wrestlers.” LaHaye played a key role in developing Newberry into a championship contender, helping lead the Wolves to three ECAC championships and an NCAA Super Region Championship in four seasons. Newberry went 41-14 in dual matches during LaHaye’s tenure. Rest of the story at http://www.landerbearcats.com/sports/wrest/2018-19/releases/20180702qc4u0o?mc_cid=a6c965d7b7&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
