Warrior Wrestling
director
Michael Cox
I started wrestling in the Lebanon Mat Club when I was five years old. My dad (Mark Cox), Jim Phillips, and Bud Pulliam started the Lebanon Mat Club in the late 1970's. I then wrestled all four years at Lebanon High School. After college, I had coaching stops at West Albany High School, Sprague High School, and Woodburn High School before taking the Head Wrestling Coach position at Lebanon High School, 17 years ago.
A fun fact about myself is that I was 2 weeks late for my 1st teaching job because I was stranded in the Virgin Islands due to the attack on the U.S. on September 11th, 2001. Ironically, Tatum, my daughter, was born 11 years later, on September 11.
Devin Richardson
I started with Lebanon Wrestling as a volunteer coach when my son was 5 years old. While volunteering I realized how much I missed the sport of wrestling and thought I might be able to help the kids in a bigger role as head coach. When the opportunity to apply for the job arose I took it. Since then I have been the mat club coach, middle school coach, and a high school assistant coach.
When my son graduated I stepped away to focus on my family and my professional career. After 4 years absence my love for wrestling and coaching has brought me back. I am excited to be a part of Warrior Wrestling again and look forward to passing on my knowledge of the sport and the important life lessons it has taught me that I value to this day.
Fun fact about me is I would not be able to do any of this without the love and support of my beautiful wife and children!

Cheyenne Blas
I grew up watching my little brother Andy wrestle from 6U all the way to senior in high school! I started out as the big sis forced to watch every Saturday, to helping at the home tournaments, joining fundraising events, etc. From my eighth-grade year on, I have yet to miss a season of wrestling! Lebanon Warrior Wrestling has been a part of my family for about twelve years now and I currently have two little dudes that wrestle, Liam and Emmit!
I wanted to be part of something as an adult, that I grew up involved in when I was younger, and something I plan on being involved in for years to come! I know I can help this program grow because I grew up here, I know our community, and I want to be involved in making sure our kiddos and parent’s love this sport as much as we do. I am a go getter, dedicated, and passionate about these kids and the growth of this program!
Fun fact: I have 3 boys and 1 spicy little girl! I am a stay-at-home mama, as well as the bookkeeper for our business – Blas Valley Tint. I also homeschool our kiddos! Outside of wrestling, our family is very involved in the soccer world! One of the hobbies that keeps me busy is making Regalia for our kids to join in at Pow Wows and encampments.

What motivates me to be on the board is to provide a great mat club experience for not just my son but for the community as well.
One of my goals is to ensure that the kids and families that join our mat club are happy to bring there kids and to know that they are getting the best wrestling experience.
The skill that I have that would benefit the board is that I am an easy go with the flow type of person. I will do anything that is needed.

I am going into my second year as treasure, and my third as a Lebanon Mat Club mom! My son became obsessed with WWE and decided he had to become a wrestler. While I knew nothing about it, we signed him up and let him try it out. Our family quickly fell in love with the sport and the community that came with it. We look forward to many more years with Lebanon Mat Club.
Wrestling has become our favorite sport for many reasons, but especially the lessons it taught my son, on and off the mat. I figured since I will already be at all the things and helping in any way I can, joining the board would give me a better opportunity at helping the club reach its goals while continuing to grow as a program.
Fun fact about me- one summer my friend and I drove a three wheeled ice cream truck around town… we made it in the newspaper after wrecking it down a hill. It wasn’t fun then, but it’s sure funny now.

I got involved with wrestling years ago, cheering for my brothers as they were Warrior Wrestlers and later married my husband, who also wrestled for Lebanon for many years. Once we adopted our children in 2017, we couldn’t wait until they were old enough to become wrestlers too.
I joined the board because I love to see, and be apart of, the dedication and hard work that goes into it. Wrestling has become something that my little family is quite passionate about and I want to see this program continue to grow.
Fun fact- I love hot air balloons and have gone up several thousand feet in two different balloons over the last few years.

AMANDA PRIMASING
My name is Amanda Primasing and I was born and raised here in Lebanon. I am married with two little boys, Jacksen 8 and Benjamin 4.
A few years back we attended the Lebanon Strawberry Festival Parade as we do each year and Jack received a flyer for LMC camp. He very excitedly hung it on the fridge and as soon as he turned 5 he asked to wrestle!
I was a stat girl for the Lebanon wrestling team in high school and couldn’t be more excited to be raising little Warrior wrestlers! I have volunteered time within the LMC program and have helped with the silent auction in years past. When a seat on the board opened I applied with the hopes to help our program grow and bring more families into our LMC community. I am excited for this opportunity and look forward to the years to come!
GO WARRIORS 💙❤️

Last year was my kids’ 1st year wrestling. You probably know them as B1,B2,B3 We are not a huge sports family, but love that this is something the 5 of us can do together. We quickly became very passionate for the sport. Not only learning new skills but the life skills that come along with it. Learning more from the losses than the wins, discipline, self control, dedication, leaving it all out on the mat. All things that will serve these kids through out their lives. My husband also jumped right in. Never wrestling a day in his life, but excited to learn and help as a coach. So, figured it was my turn! As a board member, my hope is that it will give me an opportunity to help this club continue to be successful for many years to come.
Fun fact: I am an adrenaline junky! From sky diving, bungee jumping, to doing flips off bridges. You can count me in!
