Have a great school year!

As the summer ends and school is set to begin I want to wish all of our wrestlers

a safe and great school year for 2010-11. Many of you have worked hard this summer to

become improved wrestlers and I know you will carry that same attitude into the classrooms

this year.  Remember as you enter the classroom and conduct yourself that you have the traits of a wrestler.

A wrestler works hard and is disciplined. A wrestler respects others and never quits. Stay diligent in your

studies and work hard! Remember good things happen to good people. Also, remember "look good, feel good".

Have a great school year and stay safe!

Sincerely,

Coach Di Pol

Potential College Wrestlers

If you are interested in wrestling in college and are an incoming Junior or Senior please contact

Coach Di Pol via email at pdipol@haddonfieldwrestling.com or 856-938-6986.

Remember, it does not matter what ability you have or wrestling level you consider yourself to be at; if you love the sport and want to continue in college many options exist from Division 1 to Junior College that can fit your ability level.

Recruiting Realities

Monday, October 11

Jack Renkens presents College Recruiting Realities, 7:00PM, HMHS Auditorium

Jack Renkens will present student-athletes and parents information about the collegiate athletic recruiting process.  Please go to http://www.recruitingrealities.com/ for a preview.

Did You Know?

Did you know that in the state of New Jersey High School coaches can only have

contact with their wrestlers during the season and the summer. This is why during the

fall and spring you do not see any high school coaches working with their teams.

In some states coaches can hold workouts all year long but not here in New Jersey.

If you were at the Tapoutroom this summer you will recognize this guy

Legends Wrestling Pre-Season Team Rankings - Haddonfield #7 in N.J.

Legends Championship Wrestling

http://www.lspcw.com/

1. High Point - 11 Returning Starters, 7 State Qualifiers, 7 Region Champs, 4 State Place Winners, 2 State Champions. This is the most individually decorated team in the state.

2. Jackson Memorial - 10 Returning Starters, 1 Region Champ, 1 State Place winner. Defending Group 4 Champion return 2 less starters than Wash. Twp. but they soundly defeated the Minutemen in last years Group semi-finals.

3. Washington Twp. - 12 Returning Starters, 1 Region Champ, 2 State Place Winners. No team in last years top 10 returns more starters, and a relatively young line-up has matured another year. This Washington Twp. team won't be the push over in groups that they were last year.

4. South Plainfield - 7 Returning Starters, 2 Region Champs, 1 State Place Winner, 1 State Champion. Lost a lot due to graduation, but that sophomore contingent should make SP a formidable opponent.

5. Paulsboro - 8 Returning Starters, 3 State Qualifiers. The defending Group 1 Champions return a strong core of upperclassmen, a proud wrestling tradition, and an in your face no nonsense coach.

6. Southern Regional - 9 Returning Starters, 1 Region Champ, 1 State Place Winner. The team in the toughest situation: being in the Shore Conference with Jackson, and being in Group IV South with Washington Twp. They will be hard pressed to jump any higher, but you can be sure the 9 returning starters will provide a solid core for the rams.

7. Haddonfield - 10 Returning Starters, 2 State Qualifiers. The Bulldogs are no longer flying under the radar. They return 10 starters and endured one of the toughest offseason workouts I've ever seen. Coach DiPol and his staff have this team heading in one direction only, and that's up. Look out Paulsboro in Group 1 South.

8. Hunterdon Central - 7 Returning Starters, 1 Region Champ, 1 State Champion. The loss of 5 state qualifiers is going to hurt this team, and could very well keep them out of the Top 10 by the end of the season, but the long history and tradition paired with Alex Shaffer's leadership will help the Red Devils to a successful season.

9. Timber Creek - 10 Returning Starters, 1 Region Champ, 2 State Qualifiers, 1 State Place Winner. This team returns 8 regional qualifiers and possesses a balance of new and old (4 Sophomores and 4 Seniors). Nick Cottone and the Chargers nearly shocked the New Jersey Wrestling World last year by nearly upsetting South Plainfield in the Group 3 Semi-Finals. Look for the Chargers to go from being a bad dream for SP to a total nightmare this year.

10. Bergen Catholic - 9 Returning Starters + 2 Transfers, 3 Region Champs, 4 State Qualifiers, 1 State Place Winner. With the transfers of Matt Dickman and James Dawson to Bergen Catholic, and the addition of incoming freshmen Sebastian and Casamenti, the Crusaders explode into the Top 10. The downside to this team is their entire season will be filled with competition as they compete against Don Bosco, St. Peter's Prep, Delbarton and the rest of North Non-Public A. If they can navigate through that competition, they could very well avenge every loss from last year except for Blair and Wyoming Seminary.

Haddonfield High School Wrestling Absegami at Drexel University

The Haddonfield High School Wrestling team will take on the 10th Ranked team in the State of New Jersey the

Absegami Braves on Friday, February 4th, 2011 before the Drexel - Boston University Match.

Drexel is where Coach Heverly wrestled at and Boston University is where Vice Principal Chuck Klaus wrestled.

If Drexel wins Mr. Klaus will have 50 push-ups to do in front of the main entrance of the school- If Boston wins Coach Heverly has 50 push-ups to do in front of the Dinosaur Statue in down town Haddonfield.

The event is free for all Haddonfield fans - Coach Childs of Drexel just asks that you purchase some Drexel wrestling gear at the match to help his team out. 

This is a great announcement for the Haddonfield School District and wrestling community. As you know our school already has a partnership with Drexel in academics  -

Now we continue that partnership on the wrestling mats!

The Elementary team which represented the Haddonfield Wrestling Club for the first time in competition was represented by two Haddonfield Youth wrestlers (Hogan Makely and Jaxon Maroney) and one Haddonfield Middle Schooler (Eric Feldhake). It was a great day of wrestling. The teams were coached by Head Wrestling Coach Pete DiPol and North Jersey Club Coach Pete Gonzalez as well as volunteer coach Ron Pataky.

EASTON DUALS

This past weekend Head Wrestling Coach Pete DiPol took three wrestling teams to

Easton, PA to compete in the Easton Duals. The tournament consisted of 13 teams.

Two of the Haddonfield Wrestling Club teams went 4-1 on the day powered by

Kris Rahn, Connor Jacobs, Joey Testa, and Robert Schlitt of Haddonfield.  A great day

of wrestling for the three Haddonfield Wrestling Club teams which consisted of wrestlers

from Paulsboro, Timber Creek, St. Augustine, West Deptford, as well as many wrestlers

from North Jersey. It was a great experience for our wrestlers to connect with rivals

from other schools and meet new friends and compete in friendly competition.
