Wrestling Tournaments at North Davidson for 2008-09

Coaches,

Hello, my name is Danny Crotts and I’m the head wrestling coach at North Davidson Senior High in Lexington, North Carolina. I hope that your wrestling season was a successful one. I am writing to you today to let you know about the tournaments we will be hosting at North Davidson Senior High for the 2008-09 season. We host two tournaments, one dual tournament and one individual tournament. Here is a little information about each tournament:

Black Knight Duals - Saturday December 6, 2008. 16 Teams, Guarantee 5 Dual Matches. We will use two gyms for this tournament and have 4 mats running at one time. We will split teams up into 4 pools based on the following seeding criteria. You may score 1 wrestler per weight class. State Placers (1st -6th Place) score 6 points. State Qualifiers (States that place 7th and 8th will be recognized as Qualifiers and not Placers) score 4 points and returning Varsity starters (but not a State Place/Qualifier) score 2 points. You can only score one of those three ways. So if you were a returning Varsity starter and you placed 2nd at States, you would only score 6 points, not 8. Seeds for each pool are as follows: Pool A (1,8,9,16), Pool B (2,7,10,15), Pool C (3,6,11,14) and Pool D (4,5,12,13). We will cross pool after pool play has completed for placement matches. All teams that are 3-0 will wrestle for places 1-4, all teams that are 2-1 will wrestle for places 5-8, all teams that are 1-2 will wrestle for places 9-12 and all teams that are 0-3 will wrestle for places 13-16. In the cross pool, Pool A will wrestle Pool D and Pool B will wrestle Pool C and then winners against winners and losers against losers.

Teams that attended last season: Parkland, Davie County, Green Hope, Morehead, Lake Norman, Knightdale, East Davidson, Olympic, Fayetteville 71st, Carson, West Charlotte and North Davidson from North Carolina and from Virginia we had Kellam, Magna Vista and Centreville. Kellam brought a “B” team down as well for the tournament. The top 4 teams were Parkland, Kellam “A”, Green Hope and Davie County.

King of the Mat - Monday December 22 and Tuesday December 23, 2008. 32 Teams (May be more but want to have 32 man brackets for each weight class). We use 2 gyms and 8 mats for the duration of the tournament. We will do the Finals on one mat in the main gym when all the other place matches have been wrestled.

This is not the usual Double elimination tournament. What we did last year was that we tried to place all the way back for each place that we had in a weight class. This way, kids will not just go 0-1 or 0-2 and be done for two days; they continued to get some mat experience. We will do a double elimination from the top 8 placers and then a single elimination (until the top 8 has been established for 9-16th place matches then double like a standard tournament) and place the top 16 for the whole tournament. You will have to lose three times to be eliminated from the tournament (after the 2nd loss, you no longer score team points it is just matches for you). I can guarantee each of your wrestlers 3 matches at the minimum for the tournament.

We will seed as follows:
1) State placers (during ANY season, with most recent having preference)
2) State qualifiers (during ANY season, with most recent having preference)
3) The 2008-2009 record based on at least 10 matches

We had 27 teams last year, and on Day One, we were all gone by 4:30 PM and some kids had already wrestled their five match limit. For Day Two, the Finals concluded before 8 PM. We run a pretty good/quick tournament!

Piedmont volleyball is a joke, TURNS DOWN NCS

My sister comes home today and told me that more than half her team voted to not go to NCS because they had homework and tests. My sister and 3 other girls were the only people who wanted to accept their playoff seed. What has sports come to in the past couple years, i am embarrassed to have ever attended Piedmont HS, and played football there. So many 4 letter words could be used to describe how i feel about most of that team. vent...

* * * NATIONAL VOLLEYBALL SHOWCASE - SACRAMENTO

2007 softball season

who do u guys think is gonna win ccs this year...personally i think the mitty monarchs are the team to beat. They have ss katie fleury who is going to notre dame... she hit like 20 homers last year and might go pro...they also have great pitching and did i mention they have katie fleury...feel free to voice your opinions

Players Needed!

I am interested in finding unsigned 2007 players who are wanting and willing to play college softball. I have many contacts in the sport, mainly in junior colleges, SWAC, and MEAC, that are in need to find quality athletes. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at sphib3@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Speed, Agility & Quickness Camp has few spots left

Blinding top speed….. Rapid change in acceleration….Explosive lateral movement….Lighting fast response. These are the qualities that the top basketball players possess. It separates the best from the rest. But whether it is basketball, volleyball, baseball, football, soccer, tennis, rugby, or track and field: Lateral, Linear, or Vertical Movements skills make a Champion.

SAQ training is rapidly becoming one of the most important segments of successful training/conditioning for top athletes, trainers, and coaches. Previously, great demonstration of these skills was attributed to the genetic gifts the performers possessed. While it is true that some athletes are born more gifted than others, natural genetics is only part of the formula. Directed training and nurturing is the rest. SAQA is designed for the athlete who is seeking to gain that extra edge and elevate their game to the next level. Teams spend hours and hours on drills, but how much time is spent teaching athletes how to increase their speed? This is what every player and coach desires, speed! The Academy will encourage each player to strive for a higher level of conditioning while focusing on their technique for speed.

4 Training Sessions Daily
April: 8-12 or 15-19
Location: Bay Area
Grades: 6th through 11th Grade
Enrollment Capacity: 40
Camper Fees: Day Camper $375 or Overnight: $550
Transportation Available To Camp

Players and Coaches

Just thought I would pass on a site that has been very helpful to me and my understandings of various chronic conditions that I have run across while I was coaching and teaching. There are a lot of sites out there that are factual, but boring and long. This site has great information on these everyday chronic conditions that you might not understand and need more info on. It has helped me understand more about what kids are going through who suffer from these different conditions and in return give me a little bit more compasion and understanding for them.

I know that this really might not have the most to do with sports or football, but I have had players in the past that have had to have special needs for their conditions. A good example was having a player with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and not having a clue what it was or what it did. This site is a reference site that really does a good job of explaining these conditions.

Anyway, good luck to everyone.

Coach Davis

There is a drop down box on the top left of the page that you pick the condition in.
