CLINTON â Though the Clinton Middle School wrestling season was short, CMS students were long on giving during the Wrestle Hunger fundraising campaign.
CMS Wrestling Coach Dylan Schneeberger said the idea of wrestling hunger came from assistant coach Eric Spittler who had taken part in a similar fundraiser at another school.
Schneeberger, Spittler and Marcus Schneeberger have coached wrestling together at the middle school for about four years, said Schneeberger. Before that, Schneeberger assisted his uncle, J.D. Lueders, at the high school. His grandfather, Bob Lueders, was the most-decorated coach at Clinton High, Schneeberger said.
Through all those years, the coaches promoted a family culture among team members. They taught athletes to give back to the community, Schneeberer said.
