My name is Jamie Crossno.I am 35 years old. I wrestled at Byron High School in the late '80s and early '90s. After high school I went on to wrestle at Lincoln College.
I lived in Montana for a few years when I was a kid and wrestled there when I was about 9 for one year. After we moved back here I did not start wrestling again untill I was a freshman in high school because the schools I went to did not have wrestling. Even when I started at Byron as a freshman I had to be bullied into the wrestling room by the upperclassmen because we need 103lbers and I was a small kid. After that wrestling was in my blood for good. After college I went on to help the family business of building houses. But always missed wrestling. Then I met Steve Carlson and he let me help with the Harlem Cougars. I was able to help these kids do things in wrestling that they wanted to do. I became a student of the sport of wrestling. I went to silver college and became a silver certifed coach though USA Wrestling. I need to teach at silver college and coach a team over seas and I will be a gold certified coach. I teach the bronze course to a lot of the IKWF coaches. I have been lucky as a coach. I have some friends that helped me start Attrition Wrestling Club. It is a freestyle and greco club. We have helped a lot of kids learn about those two styles of wrestling in the Rockford area in the past five years that would have never done those styles. We had our first national champ in greco this year. And I have been lucky enough to coach at the world team trials and have one of our wrestler's live out at the OTC full time. I have a (mostly) supportive wife Paula. She has helped me in more ways than I have room to write. A 13 year old daughter Aira who is becoming a good basket and volleyball player(She should be she is 6-1 already. She gets that from her mom she is 6-1 and I am only 5-6). And a 19 month old son Brody. I have people say to me they can not wait to see him wrestle. I tell them if he never wrestles that would be fine with me because I want him to love to wrestle and that is not some thing you can force no matter how much I as a parent want him to do it. But I would like to see him wrestle. That is the story of me so far.....

My name is Ronnie Hansen age 31, began wrestling at the age of four with the Bethalto Boys Club known now as the bethalto Bulls. Wrestled my first tournament in IKWF in Canton, Illinois. Back then as I remember there was an age requirement I had to wait for, before I could qualify for state. When eligible and it was only senior division I qualified every year I could possibly go. In 87' I lost to Marky Bybee in the semi-finals and went onto get fourth. I remeber Tyler Hurry won out weight bracket that year over Bybee in the finals. I began playing golf at the age of 12 and became a traveling pool player. I qualified for nationals in pool at the age of 14. I never did wrestle an off-season event growing up, or attend any camps. At that time, all I remember is it was time to cut weight when wrestling season was rolling around. I have a lot of respect for all the parents and volunteers that put in all the work they do for programs such as overtime, camps, etc.
In High School I wrestled for Edwardsville, which has always been a solid program. The current and past coaches have done a fabulous job. I qualified for state at 103 and did not place, Tommy Lee of Sandburg won that season. Currently, I live just outside of Edwardsville, looking to be a part of the sport again anyway possible. I always keep up on individuals all over the state, along with each and every team. I work for family at this time and have been seeing a woman for a few years which will result in marriage if I ever decide to settle down. I'm kidding, its just a matter of time. Enough about me, but do wanna say something. I'm really happy to see Illinois at an elite level nationally. I don't believe in being baised against regions of the state etc. I always pull for the kids from illinois in highschool wrestling out of state, and as they move onto college regardless of the school they choose. It's always a representation in my book! Although, I must admit, I will always be pulling for the Edwardsville Tigers first and foremost!! Goodluck to the state of Illinois wrestlers this year! Take care!

Yo wats up my name is Tyrone Deal or TJ I didnt start wrestling until my jr year at harlem high school i wrestled before when i was younger but i hated it cuz i was shorter then everyone so i tried it out again in high school. Yea so my jr year sucked until i met Evan Vandiver he was my wrestling partner for the rest of the year.He used to ask me "so Tyrone you thinkin bout quittin" i would tell him "not yet nit until i get a tital but i never did so when wrestling season was over he would c me in the school hallways and ask me have u ever done fs/gr. I told him no it sounds hard as hell at that time i was doin track.So a few days gon by and i seen him in the hall way he told me to come to a local high school so i went and i seen ppl i never seen before.Im looking around and feel someone tap my shoulder this guy his name was JAMIE CROSSNO he asked me if i wanted to wrestle for him i told him i woud think about it.That next day i came back and was ready to get down but i had no clue wat FS or GR was so i would go to Evan and ask wat am i pose to do he told me just watch him so after watching him i would go home and try wat i saw him do and i would do this everyday so now its time for some meets dats when i really got iffy about this cuz it was my first time wrestling these styles.After some time i gotten really better so next year wrestling came around i shocked the coaches at wat i can do and they would ask me where di u learn all these moves and i would tell them ATTRITION. So now that im ggraduated i want to goto NMU fro greco wrestling and try out for the 2012 olympics and shock the world from a boy who didnt have a ckue wat wrestling was until now he's a nation win=de champion!!!!!!!!!Thanx Jamie Chad Evan and Andy

would installing them make the life of the 360 last longer, as we all know thats a dodgy area. Or will it fk up the machine and possibly the hard drive faster.
Will the install just apply to old games but new games as well

My name is Danny Thornton and I am from Peoria Illinois, born and raised. I am new to this site but have been posting on others for awhile. I started wrestling when I was 8 for the Peoria Razorbacks IKWF club. I went to Woodruff High School playing football wrestling and baseball. I was a 2x confrence champ, 2nd place sectionals aas Jr and 1st as senior. and placed 3rd class AA heavyweight in 1998. I then went to Illinois State to play football. After college I got a job working in a foundry, after about a year in the foundry I got a call from my brother to help him coach football. I spent four years as a defensive corrdinator and helping turn a bad program around. I spent a few years coaching wrestling during that time as well. A year and a half ago I got on the Peoria Fire Department, which is my dream job. I am now helping the Richwoods wrestling program run by Rob Penny. Rob played a big part in my success as a senior, so I can't help but want to help his program. I am a family man, but outside of that I don't like giving those details out on the net.
