Wrestling in May hosted a
vist from Gerry Abas,
four-time All American
wrestler and coach, icon
from Fresno State. Warm

from coaching his Olym-

Stephen Abas. Gerry also
won recent fame for his
legacy shown through his
son Jaden Abas, an All-

regarded at the upper tier

moves and styles named
after his and his brother’s
last name.
“I want to bring life
changing opportunities to
these kids and to sharpen
their wrestling skills as
well,” said Warm Springs
Elite coach Quentin Scott.
“Gerry is the master.
He comes from similair
backgrounds as these kids,
and understands over-
coming obstacles.”
Gerry is known to use
wrestling as a platform of
inter vention and also
