THANKS BOB MARS AND JOHN HOGG

Head Coach Bob Mars and assistant coach John Hogg will be moving on to a new challenge next season. Mars will be the head coach at Kennewick with Hogg as his assistant. The Ki-Be program enjoyed its best years under the leadership of Bob Mars. Here is a short list of his accomplishments:

  • 116 career dual match wins (102 more than any other Ki-Be coach.
  • 10 straight winning seasons (Ki-Be had only 1 winning season, 1982, befor Mars arrived)
  • 47 state qualifiers
  • 23 state placers
  • 7 state champions
  • 5 straight seasons with a state champion wrestler
  • 4 straight state top ten team finishes between 1996 and 1999

The Bears will miss Bob Mars and John Hogg, we wish them well at Kennewick. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in at Ki-Be to make the wrestling program one of the best in the state. It is now up to Head Coach Ben Hill to carry on the tradition.
