School Wrestling Match Broken Up by an Angry Father

Hmm, this seems pretty unnecessary. I’d hate to see what he’d do if you insulted his wife’s cooking.

Mike Rodriguez was one of the great college wrestlers of the 1950s — a three-time Big Ten champ and two-time NCAA finalist for the University of Michigan…

Then he became a long-time high school coach in Detroit, molding Michigan high school state champions.

Now there’s a neat video tribute to Mike Rodriguez as wrestler and coach, including black-and-white footage of some of his most thrilling college matches on YouTube.

Flowers Wrestler Learns to Overcome Disability

Michael Spriggs grabbed on to a teammate’s shoulder and headed for the gymnasium wall, where William Ngakoue, a 215-pound junior on the C.H. Flowers High School wrestling team, rested after winning his first match. Leaning in closely, Spriggs peppered Ngakoue with questions about whether the advice he had given him before the match had helped.

“I wanted to know what he was thinking out there, what kind of moves he was using,” said Spriggs, a 189-pound senior. “I’m glad he used the techniques I taught him.”

Ngakoue carefully chose his words to describe the match to Spriggs, including the reversal that led to the eventual pin. He had to be very specific, because Spriggs couldn’t see the match.

Spriggs, who is nearing the end of his final season as a high school wrestler, has been blind for more than five years. For two of those years, he also has been one of the most valuable members of the Flowers team.

“He shows me how to do things instead of telling me,” Ngakoue said. “He knows what he’s talking about.”

I’ve seen good wrestling matches in the past, but this kid is the champ. Check out his amazing move that gets him the pin!

This is something you have to see to believe.

WOW!

Like the lead character in a drama, Henry Priest declares, “Wrestling saved my life.”

The camera then pans a series of scenes: the premiere at the May 2007 Cannes Film Festival of a Priest-produced film, “American Identity,” a story of two soldiers affected by Sept. 11; the 37-year-old Californian developing sports-related films as executive producer of productions for the National High School Coaches Association; audiences intent on Priest’s inspiring tale at leadership and motivational workshops.

Turn your attention now to the flashback.

Along with an older sister and two younger brothers, Priest was born and reared in East Los Angeles, an area, he says, “pretty much known to have a large population of gang members.” In fact, for three generations, his family members and friends had succumbed to the pressure to join local gangs.

Though Priest resisted, he recalls, “I had all this negative energy piled up. I was this angry kid.”

Then during Priest’s junior year at Schurr High School in Montebello, the wrestling coach sought him out. “I was recruited because I was this tiny, tough kid,” Priest says. “I competed at 98 pounds my senior year.”

[Bethlehem, Pennsylvania] The highly anticipated wrestling movie “VERITAS” will screen during the South Side Film Festival at the Lehigh University Campus in the Packard Lab Auditorium on Thursday, June 21st, at 7pm and on Saturday, June 23rd at 2pm. (200 W. Packer Ave. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)

VERITAS means Righteousness, Truth and Integrity… For three time NCAA All American Wrestler, Jon Trenge, it’s a reminder for him to do the right thing. Veritas is a feature-length film documenting Lehigh University’s 2004-2005 wrestling team and the story of Jon Trenge, who strives to achieve his childhood dream of becoming a National Wrestling Champion for his hometown school. Jon’s freshman season is cut short when doctors discover an eye condition so serious that he is told he should never wrestle again or risk losing his eyesight permanently. Jon refuses to accept his doctor’s warning and is determined to find a way to wrestle. After undergoing five eye surgeries, he wears homemade protective goggles designed by his father and nearly achieves his goal his sophomore and junior seasons losing in the National Finals.

Little weird, but cool.

Veritas is a full-length movie documenting Lehigh University’s 2004-2005 wrestling team and the story of Jon Trenge, who strives to achieve his dream of becoming a National Wrestling Champion for his hometown school. Jon’s freshman season is cut short when doctors discover an eye condition so serious that he is told he should never wrestle again or risk losing his eyesight permanently. But did he listen?

Talk about competitive spirit! This father — who’s also a (not surprisingly) former wrestling coach — is so upset about his son is losing a match that he steps in, pushes the opponent and sends him flying out of the ring. Did we mention that the opponent was an 11-year-old boy? Looks like this guy got his copies of “Wrestling for Dummies” and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Bullying” mixed up again.
