(Note - we are unable to correct last names that are supposed to have two capital letters, such as Mc______ or O'____ - this is a glitch in the computer program)

• Conference Awards - please send in the results of your Conference Coach & Wrestler of the Year awards. Note - this causes confusion every year - this is not some sort of vote/poll that I am conducting. Each conference votes for these awards, I just want to know the results of those conference votes. Also, the conference wrestler of the year is not the same award as the conference tournament MOW.
   
  
• Dudley wrestling coach battles cancer, Greensboro News & Record, Jan 10
  Editor's Note: Quentin Crosby is one of my favorite coaches in the state. While I don't cross paths with him very frequently throughout the season, every time I do see him, he always has a smile on his face. He has done a wonderful job developing his program at Dudley, and also his youth program - a class act and a coach who does things "the right way." I was amazed to find out he was diagnosed with cancer in September - weeks before the Super 32 Challenge, and yet he still was a tremendous help to Dave and me as he provided table workers for half the mats at our tournament.
  Quentin - you are truly an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others in the NC wrestling family. Thank you for sharing your story.
