Our Scholarships

Coach Laughlin and his family are honored to have their family name associated with this scholarship. During his 50 years of coaching wrestling, he has seen countless times the positive effect wrestling has had on student-athletes. The hard work and discipline crucial to wrestling have helped many of his former wrestlers, as well as his own children and grandchildren, achieve their goals in life. Being involved in wrestling and watching young people grow through the sport has been one of the great privileges of his life.

Coach Pasiuk and his family are honored to have this scholarship associated with their name. Since planting their roots in Carrollton in 1998, it has been a privilege to help build a tradition of excellence within the wrestling program.

"Guiding our wrestlers and leading this program to a level respected statewide has been incredibly meaningful. More importantly, it has been a true privilege to help develop young men of character - individuals who have gone on to accomplish great things both on and off the mat. Wrestling has provided me the opportunity to help shape young men here at Carrollton, including my own sons and the many other amazing young men who have been part of this program. I have seen first hand the impact wrestling has in preparing them to face whatever challenges come their way. It has been an honor and a privilege to be trusted as the leader of the Carrollton wrestling program for so many years. Thank you"

The Tom & Bonnie Shaw Family Scholarship is named in honor of Bryan Shaw's parents, Tom and Bonnie Shaw. The Shaw family is proud to be part of a scholarship effort that honors Carrollton Wrestling, its history, and the people who helped build it.

Bonnie Shaw shared that Tom Shaw, Bryan's father, who passed away in 2013, would have been extremely proud of what is happening today. Tom was not a coach, but he was a proud father, grandfather, and supporter of his family and Carrollton Wrestling. He saw first hand how the sport helped shape, inspire, and strengthen his sons and grandsons.

To see the Shaw family connected with the Coach "Skip" Laughlin, Coach Ken Pasiuk & Family, and James Rusty Bright scholarships would have meant a great deal to him. The Shaw family is honored to support a program that continues to develop young men through hard work, discipline, and the values taught through wrestling.
