Former Cougar Wrestler Reggie Jones Jr. Elected to National Wrestling Hall of Fame
Former All-County wrestler Reggie Jones Jr. will be inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for Lifetime Service. Reggie follows his father (Reggie Sr.), Kennedy legends John Schaefer, Don Jackson, and George Munnich, becoming the 4th Cougar to garner such honors. Reggie was an Assistant Coach at Long Beach HS from 1979-1996 winning numerous team county titles and coached many individual champi-ons (too many to count!). He is currently coaching at Wantagh High School having much success. He was a top wrestling official for many years in Nassau County and has been a life guard for the past 45 years. Congratulations to Reggie on an outstanding wrestling/coaching career. The Hall of Fame Dinner will take place this April at Villa Lombardis in Holbrook. More information to follow.

BELLMORE-KENNEDY WRESTLING BUILDING CHAMPIONS FOR OVER 40 YEARS
Dear Alumni and friends of Cougar wrestling: Since 1999, our Cougar Alumni has been giving out a scholarship each year to one of our graduating sen-iors. The criterion for the scholarship has been a senior who excelled in the classroom and on the wrestling mat at Kennedy High School. The scholarship was re-named during the 2000-01 season in memory of Eric Luckman (class of 1985). Eric was a former Division Champion and three sport athlete who died tragically in a car accident. With the help of the Luckman family, and our very supportive alumni, we have been able to give out this scholar-ship to a deserving senior and preserve Erics memory as a great wrestler and teammate.
The Cougar Alumni Club along with the Kennedy coaching staff have expanded the scholarship. We have two goals. Our first goal is to keep the scholarship going as long as Kennedy High School is an academic institu-tion. This will insure that all future wrestlers will have an opportunity to win the scholarship. Our second goal is to expand the scholarship to underclassman who aspires to train at camps in the summer and compete at local, regional, and national championships. Each year the sport provides more opportunities for wrestlers to improve on their skills that will help them become a champion. This past summer most of our team traveled to Pennsyl-vania, Minnesota, Ohio, Ithaca, and Virginia at various camps and National tournaments. We will also be hosting our own clinic this summer in which we will be bringing in local NCAA National Champions and All-Americans.
Wrestling is currently the #1 sport at Kennedy and has been consistently the most successful sport. We are the only sport in the school that has support from their Alumni and awards scholarships to their student-athletes. The extra things we do for our wrestlers separate us from the other sports and have motivated our wres-tlers to be at the top of Nassau County wrestling.
Please support us in this effort to promote wrestling at Kennedy High School. If you have any questions, please call Coach Brian DeGaetano at 516-992-1430. Thank you for your continued support.
