CIF Wrestling Notebook

CIF Wrestling Notebook

Hi! You’ve found “Wrestling Notebook,” a periodic look at your sport, from Imperial Beach to Crescent City and all places in between. 

I am John Tawa and am thrilled to be covering California wrestling for the CIF again this winter.

If you are a varsity head coach reading this for the first time, let’s get you on my email list so that I can communicate with you and all other coaches at once about results, story ideas, milestones, and anything else that gets all of us excited about this great sport. You tell me; I tell the state. You get the idea.

Varsity head coaches can opt in to our email list at this link:
