Omg I remember when he used to coach me when I was wrestling with Marion monster squad. One day he drove from Georgia to Marion Ohio to teach a small wrestling room full of us kids. He was a great guy and taught me a lot. I /we will miss you Doug.

I graduated in 04 from bc. yeah I know coach church from when he was doing monster squad at Harding. Were you at the pleasant camp when they had sergei up there over the summer. Doug coached one day and had one of the seizures where he'd pass out. The kids that didn't know him thought he was having a heart attack. It was kinda funny. Man I miss those days didn't realize how great of an opportunity it was being coached by the legends at the time.

You probably know my cousin Ryan Dennis he graduated from Hayes. Your bike looks like one I looked at awhile back for sale out on 203.

I dont think i was at that camp but i do remember doug having seizures at other camps. I played football with ryan and this is the bike u looked at. I bought it off Bart a guy that i worked with at the city when i was home for summer a few years ago. But Doug was a different breed, i remember shooting a double leg on him and instead of sprawling he just ran me over and about ripped my head off and he was still 70 yrs old at the time lol

Yeah he had some great advice he taught us a head lock that was legal but you could choke em out. You just had to make sure you didn't let your opponent go all the way out.
