WEST VIRGINIA MAT THOUGHTS
by Dr. Bill Welker
THE CHAMPION'S CHAMPION
He's the one loved by his peers,
Though on the bench -- he always cheers,
He keeps the first man on his toes,
And never quits - why, no one knows.
He puts the champion where he's at,
By making him work to earn his plaque,
His name's not found in big headlines,
But he's always there come practice time.
I often wonder -- were the champion second team,
Would he keep on trying or lose his gleam,
Would he give his all if there was no fame,
And not give up for the good of the game.
There are no questions in this man's mind,
The Champion Is Champion -- in life -- will do just fine.
