PHOTO ALBUM
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 FOR:CHARTIERS HOUSTON HIGH.
HE TAUGHT ME A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT LIFE AND ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT WRESTLING WAS THIS:
"YOU ARE NOT GOOD UNTIL YOU CAN PUT GOOD KIDS ON THEIR BACK!"
STAY TUNED FOR MORE CLASSIC QUOTES FROM COACH SPRINGER. MY QUOTES ARE TRUE AND HELPFUL IN THE 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 THOUGH 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"
STAY TUNED FOR EVEN MORE CLASSIC QUOTES FROM COACH SPRINGER. MY QUOTES ARE TRUE AND HELPFUL IN THE DEVELOPEMENT OF GOOD WRESTLING PHILOSOPHY. 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
EVERYONE DID AN AWESOME JOB THIS WEEK. IT IS ALMOST SCARY HOW FAST EVERYONE IS DEVELOPING. THE PRACTICES HAVE BEEN FUN AND THE NEW GEAR REALLY LOOKS GREAT. WE HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS GROUP. WE SHOULD DO VERY WELL IN BOTH ICWL CHAMPIONSHIPS. PLEASE KEEP COMING AND WORKING HARD AND WRESTLING LIKE ANIMALS WHEN YOU ARE CALLED UPON. THE SEASON WILL FLY FROM HERE SO BE READY TO GO AS WE MOVE TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF COMPETITION FOR MOST EVERYONE. IF YOU LOSE, SHAKE IT OFF AND GET READY FOR THE NEXT ONE.

WORDS OF ADVICE
YOUR CHILD WILL BE ENGAGING IN A VERY PHYSICAL AND AGGRESSIVE EVENT THIS SATURDAY. IT TAKES A LOT OF GUTS TO DO THIS SORT OF THING IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING THEIR VERY BEST. PLEASE CHEER FOR YOUR KID AS LOUD AS YOU WANT AND WHEN IT'S OVER, GIVE THEM A HUG AND TELL THEM THAT THEY DID A GREAT JOB. WINNING OR LOSING IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR KID HAVING A GREAT TIME AND BECOMING COMFORTABLE WITH THE SPORT. WHEN ITS TIME TO GET SERIOUS, BELIEVE ME, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. UNTIL THEN HAVE FUN AND DO YOUR BEST TO KEEP IT FUN. AFTER 1 MATCH GIVE THEM SOME PRAISE AND GET THEM READY FOR THE NEXT MATCH.
COACH SPRINGER
AS OF 01/22/2010- IT IS TIME TO GET A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS AND A LOT MORE PHYSICAL AND AGGRESSIVE. LET'S TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS!!!
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.
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.
