LC Assistant Coach Josh Diamond
“… Avery Jenks is probably one of the hardest workers I know. Put in extra work to learn as much as he could for this season.”
“… Luis Chicko brought leadership to the team that he carried over from the football field. The intensity he brought elevated the entire team.”
“… Cody Crum is a Bull in a China Shop mentality. He would put his head down and give you everything he has.”
“… As a coach, I wish we could have started years ago so these kids could have had more time. Definitely an honor to have these gentlemen set the tone for Lawrence County Wrestling for years to come.”
