Lucas Sedgmer

    Lucas Sedgmer, a 1999 graduate of Cadiz High School was killed Friday evening in a head on car collision.

    I feel so much for his family and friends, I hope it is alright that I express my feelings over the net. I can feel your pain and know what it feels like first hand. They say time will help, but it will have to be a bunch of time because such a great person was taken!

    I remembered coaching against Lucas, being at Wellsville to beat Cadiz was a big thing. I always had a few good light weights, that I could move around to make the score interesting but when it came to Lucas! There was no moving around it always seemed like who I put in there, he would bend all up with his long legs and pin them! It makes it tough on a coach knowing the out come of a match before it happens!

    I know his family too, just like him. Always willing to help out, easy to talk to, and motivated. I know this must hurt the Cadiz community too. Us wrestlers are a close nit group, but Cadiz wrestling is a very close nit group. This is good though they will help in the healing process.

    Lucas as a wrestler was 3rd in the state of Ohio 3 times! and was also a 2 time OVAC Champion. The list goes on I'm sure!

These are the words that his sister (Kay) Said at the funeral:

    No words can explain a man of his caliber.

    He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. The man who is born with a talent which he was meant to use finds his greatest happiness in using it.

    If I can be of any help feel free to contact me

Welcome to OVAeC Wrestling!


(Ohio Valley Athletic ex Coach) The purpose of this web site is to promote O.V.A.C. wrestling and the individuals that make it all possible. I don't proclaim to know everything about the
O.V.A.C.'s or wrestling, but I have coached in the O.V.A.C.'s for the past 8 years so I do have some knowledge of the sport, coaches and the wrestlers(2002).
