SPECIAL May 21&22 CutNoMore Camp

A SPECIAL 2-day CutNoMore mini-camp. Our entire spring camp schedule filled up extremely quick so I was asked by alot of our local coaches to put together a small 2 day mini camp in the month of May so that the kids would come and learn from me in hope they may want to come to the summer camps and continue learning the art of top wrestling from me and my staff, so I did and that 2 day mini camp is on May 21st and 22nd . It will cover The Pence Leg Riding System and Crazy Cradles(learn the cradle that pinned David Taylor in the NCAA finals!).   I only offer my camp to 30 wrestlers for maximum retention and so they get better quality instruction, So this camp has been a huge success for us. At Topsail we have always been known for having a great top game with awesome leg riding with great cradling techniques and I have been asked to do this for years I hope you will come learn from me so that we can make NC an even tougher wrestling state.

Dixon’s Spring to join wrestling hall of fame

Coached Bulldogs to 3 state duel titles
What began as the fear of failing a history class has translated into Homer Spring being on the precipice of becoming one of the newest members of the North Carolina Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.   As a junior at White Oak High School, Spring remembers vividly being told he needed to become a wrestler by his history teacher, Bill Parrish, who also happened to coach wrestling and football.  Rest of Story on Jacksonville Daily News at //l.wbx.me/

Maryville announces new wrestling program headed by Mike Denney

Maryville University has announced its intention to field a varsity wrestling program that will compete in NCAA Division II as an independent during the 2011-2012 competitive season. The University has hired legendary wrestling coach Mike Denney to establish the team, effective June 1, 2011.  Denney, whose teams have won three consecutive NCAA Division II National Championships and five in the past six seasons, most recently coached at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO). UNO recently announced that it will eliminate its wrestling program as a result of joining NCAA Division I athletics next year.   “Maryville is faced with an extraordinary opportunity, to say the least,” said Mark Lombardi, PhD, president of Maryville. “To create a new varsity athletic program and turn it over to the best coach in our nation is certainly a coup for our University. We enthusiastically welcome Coach Denney to our Maryville community and to St. Louis, and look forward to the beginning of a winning wrestling tradition.”  Denney recently was voted 2011 InterMat Coach of the Year. This award recognizes the top college wrestling coach across all NCAA divisions as determined by a vote by InterMat writers and executives. He was named the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coach of the Year in 1981, 1991 and 2009.   Denney coached at UNO for 32 seasons. He possesses a career dual record of 314-111-5 (.730). During that stretch, Denney claimed seven national titles: his first in 1991, three in a row from 2004-2006 and in the past three seasons (2009-2011). UNO finished in the NCAA Division II top 10 for all but one season during his tenure. Included in that run are 23 top three finishes and 27 top five placements.  Rest of the Story at  http://www.themat.com/section.php?section_id=3&page=showarticle&ArticleID=23532
