...Coach Weiss has also added a new dimension to the team by creating a tough schedule each season to prepare the wrestlers for Easterns and Nationals. In the past few years, the team has competed in prestigious tournaments such as the Cliff Keen Invitational, the Virginia Duals, the Midlands Tournament and the Aloha Classic, all of which feature some of the top teams in the nation. Weiss' confidence in his wrestlers has allowed the team to prove that it really can compete with anyone in the country...
...sextet Entrain opened for Cliff. An odd mix of musicians from Martha's Vineyard, the band played an energetic and varied set, but never quite got the crowd going aside from a few loyal fans.

Never letting his energy drop for a moment, he remained constantly upbeat to the last song. Still, while he showed that he could maintain the all-out performance levels of his youth, Cliff claimed that he has changed over...
...blame anyone for wanting to see Jimmy Cliff live in concert. But at a reggae show, everyone in attendance should respect and appreciate the feel and emotion of reggae. For anyone not willing to do so, this is not your music. We need everyone to build up and maintain the energy of a performance like Jimmy Cliff's, not to tear it down with disrespect...
