• Senior Islip 172lber, Jack Spahn, recoded his 165th career win and his 110th career pin Wednesday night.
• Miller Place junior Justin Klein had an amazing week on the mat. He notched his 100th career victory to remain undefeated in League VI. This, after defeating returning all county wrestler Matt Hole of Islip and pinning #1 ranked Darren Ketcham of Rocky Point. Congratulations Justin!!
• Bill Faxon Interview with Lou Giani January 2006 - Just heard about Lou Giani's passing. I don't want to overstate my relationship with him, but I had the opportunity to chat wrestling with Lou on a few occasions courtesy of my Huntington friends like Tom Giaramita and Timmy Hawkrigg. Anyway, for those of you who didn't know Coach Giani I wanted to share this interview that I did with him for the LIWA over a decade ago. It gives you some really good insight to who he was, why he loved wrestling and what he valued. The parts that impressed me the most where how much joy he got out of seeing his former wrestlers go on to become successful coaches ( he was beaming when I mentioned Picozzi) and how he resisted the urge to talk about "kids these days" and in fact went the opposite route. And yes, the Jon Jones he is talking about IS that Jon Jones but back before anyone of us know what he would become.

He also believes every person encounters “unchosen suffering,” the type that brings us to our knees. In Coach Ryan's darkest hour, he and his family discovered joy, peace, and hope.
