**February 2008** What a season! Last night was our annual end of season banquet where we inducted three members into our Hall of fame , Alvin Snead, Fred Stanbery and John Scott. We had over 150 in attendance including over 60 wrestlers currently affiliated with E.C. Glass wrestling. I would like to thank all of my coaches for the superb job they did this year. To the parents, family and supporters of my wrestlers thanks to all of you for your support and hard work this season. Without your help and participation this club. To all my wrestlers, you have worked hard this year and given 100 percent in everything you do. stay in shape and I hope to see you during the summer. I also want to say thank you to a very special person, Mrs. Phyllis Higginbotham. Phyllis has been our team Mom and treasurer since the clubs inception. Her son is now moving up from our squad and Phyllis is following suit. Phyllis will be sorely missed and her shoes will be difficult to fill. Thank you Phyllis and good luck to you and Sumner in your future endeavors. Coach Brooks
**January 2008** Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We just finished up our 24th Annual Hilltoppers Classic Tournament. The turnout was great and despite not having the seniors we still had 420+ wrestlers in attendance. Teams from West Virginia, North Carolina and from all corners of Virginia were in attendance. I would like to thank everyone that helped make this tournament such a success. The parents, friends and varsity wrestlers were instrumental to the success of this tournament. 27 of our youth participated in the tournament. Of the 27 eight wrestlers placed first nine wrestlers placed second eight placed third and two place fourth. Jacob Brooks of the Hilltoppers Wrestling Club recorded the fastest pin of the day (eight seconds). Our wrestlers have worked hard to date and I look forward to the remainder of the season. Coach Brooks
**November 2007** Our season has official started!! We have had sign-ups for the past two weeks and had our very first practice last night. What a great turn out! I enjoyed meeting all of the new wrestlers and their parents as well as seeing all of our returning wrestlers and parents. It looks to be a very good season. I see a lot of raw and developing talent on our mat. Parents, thanks for bringing your children out to participate in our program. Without your participation we would not have a successful club. To those that missed sign-ups all is not lost. Please contact me or Mike MacCormac and we will tell you how to get signed up. I look forward to working with everyone this year. LET'S WRESTLE!!!!! Coach Brooks
**September 2007** The Hilltoppers Wrestling Club would like to Welcome Dr. Michael MacCormac to our club. Dr. MacCormac will serve as our General manager. Dr. MacCormac has been very involved with wrestling both at the varsity level and youth level. We are very pleased to have him as a part of our club. Our former General Manager Frank Lukanich has decided that after over 30 years of service to the Central Virginia Wrestling community it is time to take a well deserved rest. Although Frank will still participate in club activities, the day to day operation of the club will be turned over to Dr. MacCormac. Frank is a good friend and mentor. Without his vision and drive this club and the sport of wrestling here in Central Virginia would not be what it is today. Thank you Frank. Coach Brooks (If you would like to know more about Frank check out our club history link)
**September 2007** I hope everyone enjoyed their summer break. Its that time of year again. Wrestling sign-ups will be here soon. The sign-up information will be posted on this web site within the next few weeks as well as the advertisements in the Lynchburg News and Advance. We expect to have a record breaking number of sigh-ups this year so please do not wait. Sign-up as soon as possible. We have several changes in store this season that will be of great benefit to the club and to the wrestlers. I look forward to seeing all of you very soon. Coach Brooks **February 2007** Wow what a season!!! The last three months have gone by too quickly. Without hesitation I can say this year has been our best year yet. Our older wrestlers have matured into strong and competitive young men with great work ethics and respect for the sport. Our new and younger wrestlers have benefited from the increased size and diversity of our coaching staff. I would like to personally thank all of my assistant coaches. Without their help and dedication to the wrestlers and the sport this program would not have been a success. Thanks to our team mom and our treasurer. You both have been a blessing to this club. To my mentor and General Manager Frank Lukanich, Thank you for all that you do and your commitment to this program. This club and myself are truly fortunate to have you as General Manager. To the parents, family and supporters of my wrestlers thanks to all of you for your support. Without your help and participation this club would not have been as successful this season. Finally to my wrestlers your are all truly champions in spirit, heart and dedication as well as on the mat. It was an honor to coach such a fine group of young men. Stay in shape and I hope to see you during the summer at camp and next season. Coach Brooks TO ALL PARENTS: If you would like to order more pictures please Contact Brad Campbell of Seven Hills Photography. www.sevenhillsphotography.com **February 2007** Our last tournament was at Liberty High School in Bedford.

Congratulations on a great finish boys!!! ** January 2007** Happy New Year! Its time to sweat off all that turkey, ham and sweets. The Hilltoppers tournament is fast approaching and it looks to be even better than last year. Our volunteer sign-up has been phenomenal. The season has been great and our wrestlers have really worked hard to date. Thanks for the great participation and dedication to practice over the holiday season. Hard work and dedication to your sport always pays off!!! Its also time to hit the books again. Do your homework and behave in school. Remember " be a scholar athlete not a dumb jock". Coach Brooks
