JL365,
I have waited to respond publicly in hopes that you would come back and amend your comments above, or apologize to all 3 of the women who won this award, but you are choosing not to. You also criticize the host club and Woofter Family that makes the decision(or judges the nominations) to give the award.
Just curious how many years your nomination has been volunteering their entire weekend helping local tournaments in the area that this award is being generated from?
Doesn't it stand to reason that much of the work that these past 3 ladies have done, is being seen by the club hosting this tourney, and family that is making this award presentation.
Isn't it entirely possible that much of the work that these 3 ladies(who have won this award)have done, would get strong consideration simply because the host club and Woofter Family has been witness to it first hand.
I know for a fact one woman who won this award was completely surprised, as our Head Coach Damon Parker wrote the nomination letter.
Not that I need to explain it to you, or that it would even matter to you, but this womans child who competed in the sport of wrestling, began his career as a 1st grader in 1994. This woman continues to help with area tournaments, despite not having a kid competing since his 2006 graduation from Mill Valley High School. Along with her, one of (if not both) of my daughters( and yes, they were both wrestling managers for the HS prior to their graduations in 2007 and 2010 respectively), and younger son(currently a 5th Grader, who chose basketball as opposed to the choice of his older brother)can be seen helping at several of the tournaments listed below.
And for the record, Paula volunteers at various tournaments which include many local kids club tourneys, HS Duals, HS League, HS Regionals, Kids Subs, Kids Districts. She has also volunteered at Kansas Kids State every year since 1994, (with the exception of 2006 when we were able to go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and watch our oldest son compete at HS Nationals).
Lose the ... What about ME!! ... attitude!
Do the work, put in the time and other people notice.
Really curious who you are, and just how long you have been around the sport??
It is obvious you havent learned many of the lessons that the sport of wrestling teaches you.
To Jeff Nix - Funny how you did just that... Turned a Positive into a Negative in your backhanded comment.
Both JL365 and JN owe the Woofter Family a sincere and public apology!
Respectfully,
Jeff Broadbent - Former MVWC Director
ps - I have said my peace, so now I can go back into retirement
