Spaulding wrestling coaches Dave Fournier, left, and Mick Kerin look on during last month's Essex Invitational.
...
Spaulding coaches David Fournier and Mick Kerin helped bring the Crimson Tide to within 13 points of perennial power Mount Anthony at this winter's State Championships - the closest anyone has come to the Patriots since the Tide finished 1.5 points out in 1991.
...
Both Kerin and Fournier also work with the BYSA youth program and the Tide's JV program in addition to the varsity program alongside fellow coaches Darren O'Meara and Eddie LaPan and former Spaulding wrestlers Brian Bailey and Matt Cappetta.
...
"Since 1983, to be exact," Fournier added.
...
Kerin, Fournier and the Tide program saw four wrestlers - Kyle Edmunds, Brett Tremblay, Bryant Cleveland and Reuben Stone - achieve their 100th career wins this season.
...
This winter also marks the sixth season many of the Tide's wrestlers have participated in the program with Kerin and Fournier - four high school seasons and two in the youth program.
...
"This group we had here is just a very special group of kids," Fournier said.
...
I believe I speak for all of us that know Dave and Mick, or have worked with them, or have wrestled under their guidance, or have had kids participate in their program; that these are two of the finest men you will ever meet.
