Christian Sam, Evans Bro’s, Mayomi, Chad Adams, Tejan Koroma, J. jones, Brad North, Mike Jacobs, Hartsfield, Byron Bonds, Tupou Bro’s, Lee Morris. Should I Continue?.
When people think of those Kyler Murray Allen teams, they often forget Jalen Guyton. Well now he has his first NFL touchdown! Allen, TX stand up!!

Are you looking for an excuse or are you looking for opportunity? Any time I’ve looked for excuses I’ve been ashamed of myself afterwards. Anytime I’ve looked for opportunity I’ve never regretted it.

Great weekend here in Ohio. Angelo will bring his 3rd Ironman title back home in a gutsy finals performance. He is a straight up winner. Glad our boys got to get a look from some of the best kids in the country! . As always we will learn and move forward!

Brock Martin 3X Oklahoma State champ. Make an o-line man think twice about finishing his block. As much as wrestling helps with football technique it’s really a straight up attitude #GETOFFME.

I may be bias but I love sharpening my coaching skills with PC every summer. I truly see the difference it has made for me over this past year coaching high school athletics. If you are looking to get better I highly recommend PC. Plus you will get in shape! 💪🏻 #CraftTalk.
Fired up to be back at it next month! We’ve got a handful of opportunities to coach with us this Summer. No better way for young S&C professionals and future coaches to gain valuable experience. Interested? ⤵️

Stephenville Yellow Jackets need HS wrestling ASAP! That is a wrestling town waiting to explode!.
Tarleton State University (TSU) in Stephenville is earmarked as our first Division I wrestling team. We need to raise $2M by September 15, 2023, to start the program and $1M a year subsequently for the next three years. @tarletonsports.

Post state tournament thoughts:. 1. Wish it was still one division (hope it’s not 3 anytime soon) . 2. A live stream tv would be a great addition in the warm up area . 3. Save medals/awards after completion of finals . 4. Texas is the best

The future. Let’s put our heads down for a few years and continue building. It’s up to High school and Club coaches across the state to continue to put out a quality product. This is a great achievement for both Men and Women’s wrestling in TX. Congrats Coach Jewell!.

I get fired up when people in wrestling claim an AA or accomplished wrestler from Texas is “unique” and that it’s a “cool story” that they made it so far, etc. They realize we are the future right?! 😉.

We gota keep em coming! @Allenwrestling @WrestlingTexas.
I liked these comments from John Smith on how the kids from south of OKC in this recruiting class are so important. For OSU to do well, they have to have nearby talent. He believes these four were key to this class.

I believe that one should always stand firm in their beliefs but I also think it’s important to accept that sin always has and always will exist. The world we live in is imperfect. Knowing that has given me peace of mind these last few weeks. Hope it helps you #2020.

170 pound linebacker in 6A Texas football, on a team that started 13-0 last year. I wonder how he did it? . Oh yeah he’s a freaking wrestler. I mean cmon!!! This ain’t rocket science. Dude had 126 tackles 😂😂😂 #thateyeblackiscoldblooded.
Haltom LB Gavon Lange was a key part to Haltom's breakout 2018 season. He had 126 tackles, 11 sacks and two INTs last year, which is why he's one of our top 20 6A players to watch in 2019! 💪👀. Read about him and the other 19 here: �. #txhsfb

It’s a given. Wrestle in the offseason and you will be a better football player. I promise I’m not lying.
Wrestling makes better football players, in my opinion, because wrestling makes us all tougher,” Rieger said. “I think the more that I wrestled, the better I got at all sports, because you developed a mindset where you wouldn’t break.”

Here is a preview of what I will be covering at coaching school next week. My time slot is from 1-2 PM on Monday. The goal is to keep it very simple. If you are a new coach to wrestling or maybe it’s your “second sport” I think this can help you out!
Hope to see everyone this next weekend in San Antonio for coaching school, there are some great coaches lined up to speak!.@OliverPierce157 @CoachBalser @ClayGoodloe @WrestleCoppell @WrestlingrRams @OTHSWrestling @THSWrestling17

The NCAA INDIVIDUAL tournament is only the greatest tournament in the world because there isn’t an NCAA DUAL tournament. Duals bring out this spirit of the sport. I will die on this hill.
"Dual meets are the most exciting presentation of wrestling.". Yianni talks about why he enjoys dual meets so much and why he believes they are important to the future of the sport.

First 4 coaching cues are the exact same as a leg attack in wrestling.
Texas OC Kyle Flood on what makes an effective blocker. 1: Ability to strike low to high. 2: Feet in the ground on contact .3: Tight elbows = Tight Hands .4: Feet gaining ground, upper body lifting .5: IZ/OZ DBL Teams .6: Gap DBL Teams .7: Trap, Skip, Perimeter Pulls .8: Finish
