Fargo Cadets

I’m not aware of them getting a new coach. I heard they have decided to stay at Crestwood. I think the older brother is comfortable there. I had been hearing waverly for awhile or new Hampton but I heard a week ago that he will be at Crestwood this year.

Maybe I was misinformed but I thought Coach Slifka didn't have his contract renewed. I am sure he wasn't perfect but I've enjoyed my contact with him and he seems to develop wrestlers well. A solid coach, IMHO.

I heard the football coach wasn’t renewed but wasn’t aware of Coach Slifka not being renewed. He definitely wasn’t perfect but he has run a consistent program that has been a borderline top 10 team for a number of years. Not sure what you do as a school though if you have potentially two high profile wrestlers (Blockhus and Fousek) transfer because of the coach.

I think Skip Eckhard was hired as the new football coach at Crestwood.

He was. He was on the staff last year and the previous head coach, who was on Skip’s staff when he was there the first time, wasn’t retained as head coach.

Why did they cut the last coach loose?

I believe Skip coached at Cedar Falls last year.

I think skip was on the staff at Cresco last year. Maybe an o-line coach or something. I think it depends on which rumor you believe as to why the head coach wasn’t brought back but I think most would say they just thought it was time for a change.

Years ago I remember Lenz going shorts and sleeve shirt for games with temps in the 40s. Looked like a psycho. Lol
