Former Fitch wrestler Derick Fletcher was honored as the 2007 Division II Coach of Year in a ceremony prior to Friday night's wrestling. Fletcher, who was a state placer at Fitch, coached Ravenna to a state runner-up finish in last year's state tournament.
On Saturday night, Fitch coach Brett Powell will be one of three coaches inducted into the state's coaching Hall of Fame.
