Last season was a breakout season, and the 7th year of Bomber Wrestling Club. We had over 100 youth student athletes enrolled during regular season and over 60 spring/summer session athletes from around Northeast Ohio May through September. Our Varsity Red Team was regular season OYWA League Champions, Sectional Champions, then 3rd in the District, and 8th in the entire state. We had 3 OYWA State Placers (2 finalists, 1 Champion). From there, we were 3rd at OAC Massillon District out of 145 teams, and we were 17th overall in the state of Ohio out of 254 teams in the OAC. In OAC’s Division 1, we were the State Champions. For the main event, OAC State Tournament, we had 9 placers and 3 State Champions. At Ohio Novice State, we had 8 State placers and 5 Champions. At Ohio Quest State we had 8 placers and 5 champions, and at OHWAY State we had 6 placers and 3 state champions… 33 total State Placewinners and 17 total State Titles in ONE SEASON.
What made the season even more successful, were the wrestlers from around Northeast Ohio signing up to strength train and have open mats May through September with us. Our goal is to be the best wrestling club for anyone in Northeast Ohio Age 5 through Grade 6. And not the best by way of accolades, although we have a lot of that, but the best because we focus on the development of youth athletes. It’s believing that wrestling is an amazing platform for teaching not only skills, but discipline, work ethic, confidence, and lessons that guide you in life long after they’ve left us. We want every wrestler walking out of our club to LOVE the sport of wrestling and want to pursue it in Middle School and beyond. This is just their steppingstone. The right mix of fun, and HARD WORK.
