I have seen CM, talk to CW, like he was one of his own even at a tournament that Can Mac was wrestling at. They seem to have a repore all ready. What a addition that would make.

He would be a good addition for our wrestling program and a better addition to our student body and community as well. CW and the whole W clan are welcome here at CM. The wrestling is just a bonus. There is so much more to CW than wrestling. He just a great kid in general and fun to be around.

Athletically motivated transfer. Brownlee did the same thing 4 years ago and had to sit out 1 year. Cody would have to do the same. Big risk to take, I would stay at Charleroi.

Nothing athletically about it. The Wiercioch's are going to be loosing their home due to a road coming through. They could go anywhere to relocate without it being athletically motivated.

If it's not athletically motivated then why go to a wrestling powerhouse? There are 20 schools that are closer than canon mac.

Why not go to a wrestling powerhouse if you have to move because of a road and it wouldn't be athletically motivated, I sure would go to a wrestling powerhouse since he is that good at wrestling.

He would have to sit out 1 year. Brownlee's dad got custody of him and he still had to sit out the next year. They deemed it was done for athletic reasons, if your going to transfer you should do it before your in high school.

We are talking about Charleroi, not Mt Leb. The only ones say CW is relocating is the bloggers. I can say one thing about Charleroi we compare them to the goverment, a bunch of empty promises.
