Coach Bios

Team Dekalb has been blessed with a top notch college-level coaching staff that above all is dedicated to the tenants that make Allstar wrestling the social and community success it has always been. Since it's inception, many athletes have proudly competed for Team Dekalb and many return to help coach. This honorable tradition stems from the philosophy that it takes a village to raise a child. Not that raising children is our goal but the fathers that make up the coaching staff realize that the values this sport forged in our lives are needed now in our community more than ever.

Mission statement: To promote the values of decency, ethics and hard work through the sport of wrestling.

Prime Directive: Always do what's best for the kids.
Team Motto: You can not outlast us. We will defeat you.
