Wilmington

My brother wrestled, my cousin wrestled for Providence Catholic.

And it happened to be that we were in soccer at the time and someone told us that they allowed girls to wrestle out here in Wilmington.

So we got our girls into it, but I didn't get deep into coaching until 2024.

I actually sat back for the first two years, just kind of paying attention, poking all in and learning everything.

So where do you coach right

now? We coach for ourselves with the Island City Misfits.

Elite Wrestling out of Wilmington.

And then I'm also coaching for the Illinois Nat Women's

Um, uh, it's a, it's a wide variety.

Um, we have, uh, a state-of-the-art, uh, training facility over in Wilmington, Illinois.

Oh, all right.

Um, yeah.

Impressive to see what this highway has brought to people, not just here in Illinois, but across the US.

Last week, I had a chance to take some colleagues to show them the Gemini Giant in Wilmington.

Stuff they're doing in Joliet is really cool.

Um, Springfield obviously, I've seen some of that.

Felix and Randy from Barone, Illinois are here.

Group of 50 from Pappy's in Wilmington, Illinois.

And the TMAC is here.

Troublemakers out for the club.

I just went to my phone and I saw on the September 4th.

I drove down to Wilmington, Illinois to get my grandfather's painting that someone had, and I got it back, and now I know exactly what I had for lunch that day because it was a day that something stood out.

Anyways, we have a juicy question from the 773 for Patrick Dolan.

Go

Yeah.

We started in Wilmington, Illinois, and then worked down through Illinois, and we're going to go all the way to Needles, California.

When we reach the end of New Mexico, we'll go up into Utah and then touch even Las Vegas and come back into Needles and cut back west, eastward through Arizona.

And
