Handfighting (aka: Push, Pull, Circle Snap)

Handfighting is a key ingredient for wrestling on our feet and nobody did it better than the Brands brothers from the University of Iowa. Pay close attention to the effectiveness of the relentless attack of Terry (2-time NCAA Champ) and Tom (3-time NCAA Champ) and see what happens to their opponents.

This year EPHS is responsible for running the high school portion of the tournament.

The wrestlers will all be bringing home a copy of the sign-up sheet, so please write your name and the times that you are available to help, and have your wrestler return it to Coach McNulty.

You can also call Coach McNulty at 301-4904 to let him know that you will be there to help.
