ROD SPELLMAN, a soft-spoken no-nonsense great TEACHER whom we always thought of as a Mr. Myagi(Me ah gee) from movie "Karate Kid." He was more than just a great COACH but someone who cared about how his wrestlers were going to turn out as a young man after his career and emphasized that through hearts true desire, daily dedication and unyielding determination of a young man to accomplish his goals that success WILL be the ultimate outcome.
The late LARRY TILTON's success also speaks for itself. These are both gentleman that we here in the Northeast Kansas area miss having @ matside producing many great wrestlers.
