Changes to Ohio Wrestling on the Internet

After this issue, all information should be sent to the Ohio Wrestler for posting.  During the past couple of seasons I saw that the Ohio Wrestler had become well established in posting information on Ohio wrestling and recently had an opportunity to meet John Organiscak who maintains this site.  John has done a tremendous job of developing his site and personally I believe he has taken it to another level compared to the Ohio Wrestling Sport Page site.  This does not mean I'm going to disappear, just that my involvement with Ohio Wrestling on the Internet will change.  Quite honestly I think this is a win-win situation in that the information on the Internet will be maintained and by having someone else manage this,  new ideas will develop.  Like I mentioned, I intend to stay involved with Ohio wrestling and as this transition takes place, will determine what that will be.

Sincerely,

Ned Heminger
