History of the Eagle Wrestling Club
The Eagle Wrestling Club began in 2002 as the culmination of the Youth (Biddy) Wrestling Program that began in 1988 when head wrestling Coach Ralph Cubberly started the program.
In 2002 a handful of parents and alumni got together and founded the Eagle Wrestling Club. The first officers of the Eagle Wrestling Club were as follows: President: Gary Nachtrab, Vice President: Matt Huffman, Secretary: Randi Aring, and Treasurer: Steve Lashaway. The main purpose of the Club was to support the growing wrestling program at Eastwood Schools.
As the program grew we started hosting wrestling tournaments at the high school and in 2004 the club hosted the first annual Grade School State Wrestling Championships at Anderson Arena on the Bowling Green State University Campus. With the proceeds of these wrestling events and with other fundraisers the club was able to support the wrestling program.
In 2006 the Club began to have discussions on building an adequate wrestling facility at Eastwood to promote wrestling at all levels. The Club began discussions with the School Board on location and funding. In early 2009 the Community Athletic Project (CAP) approached the Eagle Wrestling Club about a compromise. CAP proposed giving $35,000.00 to the club to put towards its wrestling building. In return, the weight room could expand into the space the wrestling program was using in the high school gym. Ground was broken in 2009 and the building opened for the wrestling season that fall. With much appreciation and the support of the school, CAP, wrestling parents, and volunteers, many generous donations were provided to assist in the completion of the project. The club would like to thank The Iron Workers Apprenticeship Program, National Tractor Pullers, Poggemeyer Design Group, Rahe Construction, DeWese Plumbing, M&R Concrete, Rudolph Libbe, GEM Industrial and Henry Gurtzwieler, Inc.
In the fall of 2009, the facility was ready for the Eastwood Community to use and enjoy, and to this day continues to be appreciated.
