HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL
Two West Holmes wrestlers, Cole Woods and Walker Uhl, got a jump-start on the season, competing Saturday,
November 1 in the ‘Super 32 National Tournament’ held at Greensboro High School and Middle School in
Greensboro, North Carolina.
Woods (Jr.), the 2014 O.H.S.A.A. Division II 120 lbs. state runner-up), competed at 126 lbs. and finished 2 – 2 in
the meat-grinder of a tournament. Losing his opening match by a second tiebreaker decision ( 1 – 1), Woods
received a first round bye in the consolation rounds. The Knights junior then scored a 4 - 3 decision and fall win
(1:39) in his next two matches before dropping from the tournament by a 10 - 0 major decision
Uhl (7th Grade), a very talented and successful elementary member of the ‘Attack Team’ , had a rough tournament
finishing 0 – 2 at 100 lbs. The W.H.M.S. grappler lost his first round bout by a tight 3 – 1 decision, then got
bounced from the tournament after a 14 – 2 major decision loss.

First Practice Set For Nov. 14
The 2014 – 2015 wrestling season ‘officially’ begins Friday, November 14 for both the West Holmes High School
and West Holmes Middle School wrestling squads.
In accordance with Ohio High School Athletic Association rules, which states that November 14 is the first day
high school and middle school teams across the state of Ohio can hold their first practice for the 2014 – 2015
season, the Knights will take full advantage and hold their first practices of the new season that day.
Practice for the high school squad will begin at 3:00 p.m. and wrap up at 5:30 p.m. while middle school team
begins practice at the same time but finish an hour earlier.
Important early-season dates to remember for high school wrestlers are ‘Weight Certification/Hydration Test’
(Nov. 25) and the Season Preview/Scrimmage (11/29).
The Knights varsity team opens the season December 6 at the ‘Bobcat Varsity Invitational Tournament’ at
Cambridge High School in Cambridge, Ohio while the junior varsity squad sees their first action of the season at
the ‘Meat and Potatoes Junior Varsity Invitational Tournament’ at Northmor High School near Galion, Ohio, also
December 6.
The West Holmes Middle School season opener is slated for December 17 when they battle Dover Middle School
in a dual meet at West Holmes High School near Millersburg, Ohio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ELEMENTARY
‘Attack Team’ Practices Underway
Over 40 youth wrestlers filled the West Holmes Middle School wrestling room Thursday, October 30 as the first
practice for the ultra-successful Holmes Area Wrestling Club – better known as the West Holmes elementary
‘Attack Team’ – began preparations for the 2014 – 2015 wrestling season.
The ‘Attack Team’ begins their Ohio Youth Wrestling Association Mid-Ohio Division dual meet season December
14 with twin duals against Ashland and Smithville at Smithville High School in Smithville, Ohio.
With an undefeated dual meet mark (8 – 0 overall) last season, the ‘Attack Team’ demolished their opponents
with 869 team points scored while surrendering only 217 points.
Since the 1995 – 1996 season, under the tutelage of 19th-year volunteer head coach Randy Sponseller, the
‘Attack Team’ sports a spectacular dual meet mark of 132 – 10 overall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Open Mats Sundays Only Once Season Begins
West Holmes High School wrestlers are reminded that ‘Open Mats’ will be scheduled for Sundays only, once the
2014 – 2015 season begins November 14.
The wrestling room at the high school is still available Wednesday evening November 12 from 7:00 p.m to 8:00
p.m., and then Sundays only beginning November 16.
High school through elementary level wrestlers are encouraged to attend open mats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------COLLEGE WRESTLING
Former Knights Wrestling At Next Level
Five West Holmes High School graduates and former Knights wrestlers will be competing at the collegiate level of
wrestling this 2014 – 2015 season.
Max Rohskopf (class of 2013) begins his second season at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North
Carolina, while Justin Stitzlein (class of 2012) is on the wrestling team at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. And,
Grayson Miller, Zach Mullet and Caleb Cox, all 2014 W.H.H.S. graduate’s, will be competing for Muskingum
University in New Concord, Ohio.
rd
th
Rohskopf (Soph.), a three-time state placer (3 in 2013 and 2012, 7 in 2011) and four-time state qualifier for the
Knights, finished his freshman season at N.C. State with an overall mark of 8 – 13. And, that was wrestling at 149
lbs., 157 lbs., and 165 lbs. for the Wolfpack. This season, Rohskopf is tabbed to wrestle at 165 lbs. in his
sophomore campaign.
After a 6th-place finish at the state tournament in 2012, Stitzlein (Jr.) spent a few years away from the mats before
enrolling at Ohio University and decided to get back on the mats this season. The former W.H.H.S. three-time
state qualifier (2012, 2011 and 2010) and current school record holder for most near-fall points in a season (191 –
2011) will wrestle at 149 lbs. for the Bobcats. Stitzlein opened his season Sunday, November 2 at the Michigan
State University Open Tournament in East Lansing, Michigan with a 4 – 2 mark and a 7th-place finish. ‘Stitz’ lost
his opening round match by fall then came roaring back with four consolation wins to reach the consolation
semifinals where he was upended by fall. Stitzlein was scheduled to meet Alex Griffin (Purdue University) in the
7th-place match, but that match wasn’t wrestled – common in college wrestling for large 1 day open tournaments –
giving Stitzlein a 7th-place finish in the scorebook.
The former Knights trio of Miller, Mullet and Cox certainly add a red, white and blue feel to the Fighting Muskies
roster. In fact, the college freshman represent their former high school more than any other high school on the
Muskingum University roster.
Miller, who finished his W.H.H.S. career at 92 – 54 (45 falls), is slated to wrestle at 285 lbs. to begin the season.
Mullet, 49 – 73 (13 falls) while a Knight, will compete at 184 lbs. and Cox, 52 – 67 (27 falls) at West Holmes, is
slated to wrestle at 157 or 165 lbs. for the Muskies.
