BATAVIA – First-year Batavia wrestling coach Scott Bayer worked as a consultant before becoming a teacher and coach.

While he’s not about to flip careers again anytime soon, interior design appears to be a promising fallback should anything change.

Part of Bayer’s remodeling plan for the Bulldogs includes refurbishing the wrestling room. Last season, Bayer’s seventh as a Batavia assistant, only the team name and two bulldogs were painted on the walls. These days, there are plenty more embellishments, all of them assembled to give athletes a sense of their place in a storied program.
