Randolph-Macon Academy (R-MA) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Billy Shannon and Nick Wallace as the new Wrestling Coaches for the upcoming 2023-24 season. With their extensive background and expertise in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Shannon and Wallace bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide and mentor our students in the art of wrestling.
Both coaches have made significant contributions to the valley area, teaching youth and adults at their renowned Jiu-Jitsu Academy located in Linden, VA 22642. Their dedication and commitment to nurturing talent in the Shenandoah Valley have earned them recognition as wrestling gurus and experts in their field.
R-MA is excited to welcome these exceptional coaches to our community. Their addition will enhance our wrestling program, offering our students invaluable insights and techniques to develop their skills both on and off the mat.
