North Mason dedicates wrestling center -

North Mason’s wrestling
gym was renamed the Amick
Wrestling Center at a ceremo-
ny Saturday at North Mason
High School in Belfair.
According to organizer Milo
Smith, about 200 people at-
tended the ceremony, includ-
ing a dozen from the wres-
tling team’s beginnings in the
19608. Three of the four state
champions under former coach
Ed Amick were there, and the
fourth had to work but called
in to show his support.
“I would like to thank the
Bulldog boosters for their help
with this and Superintendent
Dana Rosenbach and the North
Mason School Board for mak—
ing this happen, as well as all
the Bulldog alumni who made
this happen,” Smith wrote to
the Journal in a text message.
Amick 'as inducted into
the National Wrestling Hall
of Fame in 2013 in Stillwater,
Oklahoma, for a lifetime of" serv
vice to wrestling in Washing-
ton. He coached North Mason
ii'i'estling for 47‘) years from
1964 to 2006, compiling a re—
cord ol' 409-179—4. North Ma-
son was a state participant
for 36 years in a row during
that span, with more than 100
wrestlers competing in the
state tournament. Four wres—
tlers became state champions.
A GoFundMe for the Amick
dedication will go toward pur-
chasing two wrestling mats
with Amick Wrestling Center
printed on the corner. It will
also pay for signs on the east
addition of the community gym
inside and outside, and a tro—
phy case for Amick’s Wrestling
Coach of the Year awards.
To donate, go to gofundme.
