The coach told police the woman was interfering with the wrestlers before she punched him in the face during a meet last week at Woodbury High School. He did not report any injures and wanted the incident documented.
The mother of a Stillwater Area High School wrestler allegedly punched a Ponies assistant wrestling coach in the face twice after being told “the bench is no place for parents.” The coach told police the woman was interfering with the wrestlers before she punched him in the face during a meet last week at Woodbury High School, according to a police report. He did not report any injures and wanted the incident documented. The woman left the high school before Woodbury police arrived. Stillwater Athletic Director Ricky Michel said it was an internal matter that has since been taken care of.

The Stillwater Ponies will take on the East Ridge Raptors for the first time in school history.
After a first half that was filled with missed opportunities, Stillwater took advantage of the final 24 minutes in a big way to beat East Ridge 33-6 at Pony Stadium. It marked the first time the two schools played each other in football and the first half appeared to foreshadow a close affair. Stillwater made the move to put Nate Ricci back at quarterback and he took over, scoring two touchdowns on the ground in the third quarter and connected with Charlie Register for a 54-yard score on the first play in the fourth quarter to open up a huge lead for the Ponies. “At halftime we said we wanted to run the ball against the wind and go to the pass in the fourth,” Ricci said. “That is pretty much how it played out.” With the Ponies leading 6-0 …
