CHS Wrestling Community Gathers to Honor Coach Bartosek

The CHS Wrestling Community came together on Wednesday night to honor legendary former coach Tom Bartosk with the official dedication of the new CHS wrestling mat in his name.  The Bulldogs then faced off against Oliver Ames in the first ever match wrestled on the new mat. 

Coach Bartosek is the Father of Wrestling in Canton. The long-time Science teacher at the Galvin Middle School and at Canton High School, brought his deep love of the sport to CHS by beginning a team at CHS in the 1990s. Bartosek founded the Bulldog Wrestling program and developed it to be a great program before retiring in 2010.

It wasn't the titles that were ever important to coach Bartosek- it was the journey.  It was the growth of his athletes. It was his special ability to take a young man (or women) who had not been able to find "their thing" and help them recognize it and develop it.  He truly made a difference- a hugely positive difference- in the lives of hundreds of young people from our school and town.

The official dedication- (l-r) CHS Wrestling captains- Justin
Dickie, Nick Matt, School Committee Chair Mike Loughran,
Principal Derek Folan, coach Brian Caffelle, coach Tom
Bartosek, coach Tye Seastedt, EM Duggan CEO Vin Petroni,
and Athletic Director Danny Erickson. 
Last winter, EM Duggan- a local contracting company- made a very generous donation of a new wrestling mat and it was clear to everyone that the mat should be dedicated in coach Bartosek's honor. 


The gym was packed on Wednesday, with dozens of former wrestlers and parents joining scores of fans of this year's team in watching coach Bartosek be present for the official mat opening. 

The Bulldogs came up just short in the match, falling 39-33 (just their first defeat of the season) but the night was a huge success.

She also served as Thayer Academy's Head Girls Soccer coach until joining the Bulldog staff this past fall.

Joining the Bulldog Girls Lacrosse staff has been a longtime goal of Chabot's. "I am extremely honored and excited to be joining the Canton High School Girls Lacrosse program," stated Chabot.  "I have worked very hard over the past 13 years to build other programs and I am so excited to be back in my hometown. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead."

Chabot resides in Canton with her husband and 5 children.  She can often be found at youth sports venues all year round. CHS is happy to have her leading our Girls Lacrosse Program. Welcome coach Chabot!
