Update on St. Benedicts Tournament - Who's On First?

Some confusion... We just heard the bus from Kushner was cancelled. Do we even know if the tournament is on? And which coach is accompanying our boys?

Update on St. Benedict's tournament

Bus will be leaving Kushner @ 7 AM (front, main entrance), and returning to Kushner approx. 6 pm. Wrestlers should daven at home prior to coming to school.

Kushna Cobras Update

Richard Kirsch asked me to post the following:
1) No practice today due to expected snowstorm.
2) If there's school tomorrow, there will be practice; if not, no practice.
3) St. Benedicts tournament this Tue. Bus from Kushner will be leaving immediately after davening (aprox. 8:30 am) and will return to Kushner. More details to come.
4) Our new coach, Laibel Schwartz, will meet team next time there is practice. He joins us from a rich wrestling background. He will coach all practices and matches. Coach Wayne Schile, who coached our team for a number of years, will help out as needed.

Neil Ellman Guest Coaches KYHS Team

Once again, Neil Ellman stepped up and volunteered his time to train the Kushner Yeshiva High School team. He will be running tomorrow night's home tournament and helping appoint a new head coach, who will begin Monday.

Coach Ellman recently celebrated his 40th season as coach of Yeshiva University's team. He is the unparallelled pioneer of yeshiva high school wrestling and there is not a single wrestler in any yeshiva program throughout the United States who does not owe an enormous debt to this great and dedicated man. It was a great privilege for our boys to train under his firm yet warm guidance.
