There's no doubt Mr. Birch is the best heavyweight coach in the state. Great job coach. I'm curious who's the next big guy to come out of Vacaville. I guess only Birch knows.
Thank you Dave. Coach Nelson started a great tradition of heavyweights here going back to Tim Hausler, Aaron Cantrell, Zach Rix and others .. but Devan, Jack and Schupp have been special. We are fortunate in that we have a great relationship with football (a football coach who wrestled). I have a feeling Jeramy Sweany will be on that list before all is said and done.
That would be some great wrestling to see all four in a round robin. You would also have to add in Tim Hausler, who from Vaca placed 2nd in state.
The greatest part of those wrestlers is that all of them are gentlemen will class.
Was thinking about this Vaca hwt history and added 215 lbs into the equation. here is the score for the last 15 years.
