HOLLAND, MI

Wrestlers from all over the state gathered at West Ottawa High School on October 22nd to take part in the 4th Annual Myrmidon Attack Tournament. The Panthers had a great showing, with multiple placers. While it was a fundraiser for both West Ottawa and Myrmidon programs, a portion also went to Pinning Down Autism, a charitable organization whose mission is to respond and address the immediate needs of children and their families within our local communities that are affected by autism and to promote education and awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder’s.

This year, we also donated to another important organization in the wrestling: Pin Cancer. Pin Cancer is a registered 501(c)3 charity. All their proceeds go to building awareness on all types of cancer as well as research initiatives at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Having both programs both effected recently by cancer, Coach Lancaster thought it would be fitting to give back,

The Attack Tournament is unique, as it is the only one of its type. The Attack Bandz are utilized to keep score instead of traditional takedowns and escapes. The Attack Bandz themselves are a removable strap for wrapping around and securing to a wrestler's ankle. "Think like flag football, but for wrestling, " Coach Ryan Lancaster describes to new wrestlers."It's also a great learning tool," he went on to say, "that makes wrestling accessible to everyone, even kids that have never competed before."

How Do You Win?

• Wrestlers will be paired into age groups and blocked weight classes. 
• Pull the band off your opponent’s foot to score one point. 
• One three minute period. 
• The Attack Bandz are also a training system designed for all athletes of various skill sets. 
• Beginners, novices or even the most skilled wrestlers can benefit from Attack Bandz. 

$77.00 was donated to Pinning Down Autism. Myrmidon and West Ottawa have raised $852.00 for charity since 2016.
​$77.00 was donated to Pin Cancer.
