Hello Mr Hiles, I am Thomas Sisemore’s father. I’m sure you recall spending a few minutes with my son during the day at Saturday’s WVGO Breast Cancer Benefit.

We had a great time at the tournament, Butch. Thank you for always putting on great events

“Mr. Hiles I would like to thank you for bringing grappling to the Bluefield area. I’m sure the other grapplers in the area are appreciative as well, seems everyone had a great time. I sure hope you hold more events in the area. Thanks!”

Thank you for putting on a great tournament. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks Butch for a great day! You guys are the best! Good luck with everything coming up, and see you soon hopefully

Hey, Butch. Great tournament today. I love the location…the loft-style setting, the crowd around, the good music…very real, very interactive.

My daughter competed in her second tournament at the WV Grappling Open on 3/23/13. She had a great time. She had a couple of tough matches that helped her understand just how tough she really is. She is a student of Jeb Tonkin, at Ground Zero in Bridgeport. I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity for her to find out something about herself.

Good time at the WVGO as always!
