I am really sorry to hear that (the private messaging)...we really think highly of Coach Stovall. He made a special visit with my family the day before Thanksgiving. His devotion to family and his team' success (in the classroom and out of the classroom) was very refreshing. It will be a very special experience for you.

Yeah. His attitude towards everything is one of the biggest reasons I picked Newman. I think his philosophies will make us a very strong team in the years to come.

Just looked up Clearwater on a map...did not realize you were so close to campus. Imagine your parents will appreciate that and get a chance to come see you. Looks like a studly recruiting class, good competition in the wrestling room. Good stuff! Game On!

Yep. I'll hopefully still have the same ole fan club that I had during high school. lol. Should help raise the attendance of our home meets some. lol.

Good luck to you, Curtis...I am sure your fanbase will not dwindle.

One last thing...if you should run into Mike Furches, please pass on our best wishes. I respect what he is doing (with regard to his absence from the forum), but sure miss his humor, insights and love of life. That is a very decent man!

Thank you very much, and I will be sure to tell Mike all that next time we talk. I'm sure I'll talk to him sometime this weekend.
