Coach Criner Chronicles 1

Parents/Supporters

Just wanted to give you an FYI on how the season is going so far, as well as some upcoming events.

Our wrestling after school practice for our high schools as been in full swing for over a month now. We have been practicing extremely hard and really pushing the wrestlers. On Tuesday Hebron high school will be arriving at SGP around 3:30 (depending on traffic). This will be a practice/scrimmage, its a good way for our wrestlers to get some different looks from opposing school wrestlers. I encourage any parent/supporter that wants to attend to please do so, this will be great for any parents new to wrestling to see how it is done. That practice will go a bit longer, and end around 6. This practice will also provide parents the opportunity to see our wrestling facilities as well as our new weightlifiting facilities. Also, next weekend we will have our first tournament at Arlington High, it will be for our boys and girls, both varsity and JV.

Football players who are freshmen will begin practice next week.

Practice for football players who are on Varsity and JV is dependent on if we get in the playoffs or not.

Also, our booster club has purchased and hoisted the SGP Wall of State sign. It is mounted in the wrestling room, please feel free to come by and take a look at it. I wanted to say thanks for all those that helped me with the UIL archived information on the wrestlers. Also, a sincere thank you to Mr. Patten and Mr. Ortiz for putting in the work to get that sign hoisted and mounted.

Wrestling practice for middle schoolers and elementary kids begins next week. Practice times for those wrestlers is attached to this email.

Also, 6 weeks tests and grades go in next week, if your wrestler is struggling with classes please let me know ASAP. Coach Criner
