Ok, so the ODU wrestling team that Steve Martin was coaching was sued for pushing an injured kid to perform for a bunch of money. Between that and budget cuts the whole program was shut down. He's been kicked out of tournaments before for being himself and brags about it. They dominated Class 4, and a very easy 4a region but now that there 5a it'll be hard to compete. They do seem to gloat and talk alot of trash against teams that can't match there budget or amount of coaches, But at national tournaments and against the best schools in the state they never perform well. The 20 coaches and 200 parents, grandparents, and any body else that constantly feeds Steve Martin an endless supply of money for slightly better than average wrestlers take up a whole entire mat so no one else can even try to watch there kid wrestle. They'll even stand on the opposing side next to other teams coaching and yell over him. Then the vhsl, some of the refs, and local tournament directors seem to always give them what ever they want. Every year at VA duels their put in a easy bracket All the other parents coaches, and wrestlers from the 757 have a few horror stories about the Martins, and the GB wrestlers. Martin does not care about the kids he only cares about winning to preserve his Dads legacy. Your legacy should be how your remembered for your influence on the kids, and all anyone remebers is GB kids being A..HOLES.
Let's set the record straight.
1. The ODU program was shutdown over budget cuts. Not the first wrestling team and will not be the last.
2. Great Bridge is the #1 team in state south of Fredericksburg and when healthy a contender for best team in the state.
3. Martin, while not gregarious and somewhat of an introvert, is the best coach in the state and a good person.
4. The envy and targeting of GB that is all over this post tells you they are the top dog. No one is coming after Staunton River like this because they are small potatoes.
5. Next year when the Wildcats send you all home with a big 'L' on your forehead, don't have your moms on here crying the way you are this year.
6. Ever notice how the initials for God Bless and Great Bridge are both "GB", yeah - they are God's chosen team.
