IN 1975, COACH CHUCK SPRINGER QUALIFIED FOR THE PJW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AS A CHAMPION FROM AREA 4. IN 2005,THIRTY YEARS LATER, BOTH OF HIS SONS QUALIFIED FOR THE PJW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS FROM AREA XI.
PJW's IS QUITE TOUGH TO QUALIFY FOR AND EVEN TOUGHER TO WIN, SINCE 1998, THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 4 NORRISTOWN WRESTLERS THAT HAVE WON PJW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS. CAN YOU NAME THEM?
ANSWER IS AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
HE WRESTLED AND COACHED @:CHARTIERS HOUSTON HIGH.
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS HE TAUGHT ME ABOUT WRESTLING WAS:
"YOU ARE NOT GOOD UNTIL YOU CAN PUT GOOD KIDS ON THEIR BACK!"
STAY TUNED FOR MORE CLASSIC QUOTES FROM COACH SPRINGER. THESE QUOTES CAN BE HELPFUL FOR INSPIRATION ANDTHE DEVELOPEMENT OF GOOD WRESTLING PHILOSOPHY. READ EM, LEARN EM, LIVE EM!
I DON'T KNOW WHO FIRST SAID THIS. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME BUT I"M NOT SURE. OVER THE YEARS IT HAS BEEN VERY TRUE IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE ESPECIALLY SPORTS. I USE IT SO OFTEN THAT I SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR IT.
"LITTLE THINGS MAKE BIG THINGS HAPPEN"
READ EM, LEARN EM, LIVE EM!

2010 PRESEASON OUTLOOK
12/10/09- THE K-9 UNIT HAS ABOUT 50 KIDS SIGNED UP SO FAR AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE MAY BE A FEW MORE ON THE WAY. WE ARE VERY YOUNG AND MOST HAVE 1 YEAR OR LESS EXPERIENCE. MANY OF OUR ACCOMPLISHED TOURNAMENT WRESTLERS ARE NOW COMPETING IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE ARE NOT PRACTICING ON WED. NIGHTS SO EVERYONE CAN GO WATCH OUR GRADS. THIS IS A TOUGH GROUP OF KIDS THOUGH AND THEY WILL BE SENDING PEOPLE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR IN NO TIME. WE STILL HAVE SOME JUICE RETURNING TO THE ROOM. WE HAVE RETURNING STATE QUALIFIERS: RASHONE LUSANE(4TH), DYMOND WRIGHT, MIKE SPRINGER(8TH)(4TH)(5TH), AND LUKE DI ELSI. ALEC DELLA DONNA, JOSH TRUNK, GABE RANDALL, ERIC SMITH, CODY BAKER, BRYCE BYRD, GARY MOORE AND DAVEON SPENCE SHOULD BE STEPPING UP AND RATTLING ON SOME CAGES THIS YEAR. OUR TINY GUYS SHOULD BE HANDING OUT SOME KLEENEX THIS YEAR WITH RASHEER LUSANE, JERRY BATCHLER, DONTE BREWER, JAYDEN RANDALL, HARRY RODRIGUEZ, AND THE AVELLINO BROTHERS LEADING THE WAY. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PROMISING BIG GUYS IN THE MIX AS WELL. THE NEW SINGLETS ARE ORDERED AND ARE ABSOLUTELY SHARP! NEW GEAR WILL BE ARRIVING AS WELL. NORRISTOWN HIGH HEAD COACH MARK HARNER STOPPED BY LAST WEEK AND I THINK HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING..
CHECK BACK HERE FOR AN UPDATE REAL SOON.
COACH SPRINGER
AFTER OUR LAST MATCH 02/20/2010, THE K-9 UNIT WILL BE ENTERING THE TOURNAMENT SEASON. 02/21/2010 WILL BE THE QUALIFIER FOR PJW's THAT THE K-9 UNIT IS ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. THE K-9 UNIT ALONG WITH THEIR COACHES ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT THE SOUTH QUALIFIER IN FULL FORCE. WITH 8 & UNDER BEING ADDED TO STATES THIS YEAR, IT WOULD BE NICE TO TAKE 7 OR MORE WRESTLERS TO STATES THIS YEAR. MOST TEAMS WON'T HAVE ANY.
"PAIN IS TEMPORARY...CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE FOREVER!"
DURING THIS TOURNAMENT SEASON OUR DOORS ARE OPEN TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO WORK HARD. REALIZING THAT MANY ROOMS CLOSE THEIR DOORS AFTER THE REGULAR SEASON ENDS, WE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT OPENING OUR DOORS TO EVERYONE. WE WOULD LIKE TO STRESS TO ANYONE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING......YOU WILL GET BETTER! SO, DON'T BE ALARMED WHEN YOU START BEATING GUY THAT USE TO BEAT YOU.
DURING THE TOURNAMENT SEASON WE HAVE A NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOLERS FROM THE AREA JOIN OUR GROUP. AFTER PIAA STATES, THAT NUMBER USUALLY SWELLS AND WE REALLY HAVE AN ELITE THING GOING. ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME CHECK IT OUT AND AGAIN.......
"YOU WILL GET BETTER!"
THIS WEEKS MATCH (02/20/2010) WILL BE OUR LAST OF THE SEASON
WE WILL BE AT AWAY @ COATESVILLE

IF YOU HAVEN'T PAID FOR YOUR GEAR, WE WILL BE COLLECTING IT AFTER THE MEET SO BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES OR SOME CASH.

NOVICE WRESTLERS, MAKE SURE YOU WEIGH IN AND REGISTER FOR THE ICWL NOVICE TOURNAMENT @ METHACTON
IT IS GREAT FUN WITH GREAT PRIZES AND YOU CAN ONLY GO IN YOUR NOVICE(1ST) YEAR!
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE STUDENTS FIRST!
WRESTLING CAN OPEN MANY DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY BUT THOSE DOORS WILL CLOSE QUICKLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE GRADES. EVEN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL, YOU ARE NO GOOD TO YOUR TEAM IF YOU ARE INELIGIBLE. WORK AS HARD IN THE CLASSROOM AS YOU SHOULD IN THE WRESTLING ROOM AND YOU WILL FIND SUCCESS.
IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO BE A GOOD SPORTSMAN. WIN LIKE A MAN AND LOSE LIKE ONE TOO. KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME AND SHOW EVERYONE THAT YOU HAVE CLASS.
IF YOU NEED HELP WITH YOUR SCHOOLWORK, BRING IT TO PRACTICE AND WE'LL HELP YOU WITH IT. THERE IS NOTHING MORE SAD TO A COACH AS WHEN YOU HEAR THAT A HARD WORKING ATHLETE CAN'T GET IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM. EQUALLY, THERE IS NOTHING THAT MAKES YOU PROUDER THAN HEARING OF SOMEONE THAT USED TO STURUGGLE SHOWING ACADEMIC SUCCESS BECAUSE OF HIS HARD WORK.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT
"COLLEGES DON'T WANT ATHLETES, THEY WANT STUDENT/ATHLETES."
TO MR. BRETT WELLS
HE ALWAYS FINDS A RESON WHY WE CAN SUCCEED.
HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL BEHIND THE K-9 UNIT IN IT'S BIRTH.
HE HAS BEEN A DRIVING FORCE EVER SINCE.
WITHOUT BRETT WELLS THERE WOULD NOT BE A K-9 UNIT.
WE ARE FOREVER GREATFUL FOR ALL THAT HE DOES FOR THE YOUTH
OF THE GREATER NORRISTOWN AREA!
GOOD LUCK TO NORRISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL AND ALL OF IT'S FINE YOUNG MEN THIS COMING YEAR!
TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE K-9 UNIT THAT WILL BE COMPETING ON HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY THIS YEAR.
AT PRESENT I AM COUNTING 8 NORRISTOWN PAL WRESTLERS STARTING ON VARSITY AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THIS COMING YEAR.
CAN I GET A BOO YAH!
GREATER NORRISTOWN PAL:
THE K-9 UNIT THANKS YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE YOUTH OF THE GREATER NORRISTOWN AREA.
WE ARE GREATFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED US AND WE PROMISE TO ALWAYS DO OUR BEST TO MAKE YOU PROUD OF OUR EFFORT.
