Bound Brook Wrestling

The Bound Brook Wrestlers who have committed to a steady effort on their wrestling skills, have begun fund raising for their off-season activities. This summer two wrestlers will compete at the Aasics Nationals. Eight others are attending Ken Chertow¹s Gold Medal Wrestling Camp in Allentown, Pennsylvania in August. Finally, the team will participate in the Old Bridge Summer Duals. In order to help these athletes with their costs, the wrestlers have been given scratch off fund raising cards. These cards work by the wrestler asking someone to scratch off two circles on the card and they must donate the sums of money revealed in those circles. The circles have amounts ranging from .50 to $3.00 and a person who participates is give coupons worth up to $30.00. It¹s kind of like a lottery scratch card in reverse. If you would like to participate in this fund raiser, you can help in two ways: 1. You can call 732 627 0110 and speak with Corry or Marty. Ask to play and they will scratch off two circles for you and tell you what amount to send. They in turn will send you the coupon sheet. 2. You can call 732 627 0110 and ask to be a fund raiser. We will send you one of the Bound Brook Wrestling scratch off cards and you can solicit the donations. Try scooting around your work place or store counter. Or hit up the relatives. How many times did you buy those damn cookies and candy?! The coupons include $5.00 off at Jiffy Lube. Discounts at GNC, TCBY, Pizza Hut and movie tickets. There are also offers for Blimpie and Mrs. Fields and J.C. Penny Portraits. Any donation is appreciated and checks can be made payable to the Bound Brook Wrestling Club.

A special opportunity was presented to Bound Brook Wrestlers on June 10, 2002 as Franklin and Marshall Head Coach Pete Schyuler returned to BBHS for a technique clinic. Fifteen present, future and past BBHS wrestlers got to learn some great tips on offensive technique and insight to the work it takes to be a top notch wrestler. As most of you know, Pete was our last State Champion and was a Captain on the last undefeated wrestling team at BBHS. Pete attended Lehigh University where he placed third in the nation and won two EIWA titles. Pete has coached at James Madison University and the U.S. Naval Academy, before accepting the head coaching position at F&M. Coach Schyuler spoke about how perfection of one move can take doing the same motion 150 times a day! Technique covered on the feet included motion and set-ups to take downs. Shots off of the Russian tie and underhook and shots after missing your first shot. On the mat Pete showed his Opatented¹ punishing leg attack. Painfully apparent for his workout partner was his emphasis on keeping your hips in the small of your opponent¹s back, and keeping your back arched and head up. Many parents were able to enjoy part of the clinic, as they were at the school for the Smalley School band concert. The coaches were proud that only two of the current high school wrestlers missed the clinic and hope the wrestlers build off this great experience. The team needs this type of attendance to fulfill their destiny. Pictures of the clinic will be available on the Bound Brook Wrestling web site.
