Stand Up is a high-stakes wrestling documentary that champions family, brotherhood, and perseverance against greater odds.
The CD East Wrestling team hasn’t had a state qualifier in 5 years. However, 2014 may break that streak. Two seniors, Cevon and Joe, best friends and rivals, have one last shot to rise to the expectations of their team by wrestling to the PIAA State Tournament. Their greatest opponents are themselves as they struggle through the hardest wrestling state tournaments in the nation, and to find meaning in their hardships.
Stand Up is a one-of-a-kind wrestling experience that immerses you as a teammate, sitting mat-side during the high-class wrestling action. You could not get closer than this!

Such a great documentary! The story of hard work, dedication, and heartbreak, is so well told through film. My son went to state last year for the first time in 7th grade, but fell 1 match short of the podium. I can say proudly that while his eyes were dam glossy, he never shed a tear. I was so proud of his wrestling and the toughness he showed through all his wins, as well as his losses. Me on the otherhand, held it together just long enough till i snuck outside. At which point I let out some tears. I didn't cry because i was sad he lost. Honestly not sure why i cried. Wrestling is such a hard sport and takes so much dedication and sacrifice. So i guess I'm just a soft guy. Teared up a bit when the senior lost in this movie too. Anyway, great movie guys.
Thank you for watching and for the compliment. We worked hard on this film for people like you. Wrestling is powerful. Laying out all your efforts is powerful. Leaving nothing left in the tank is powerful. A tender heart that has the courage to face all this isn’t weak. Wrestling into states is a great achievement. I hope your son and you can can continue with resilience and share more of these meaningful memories together. Thanks again.
How am I just now seeing this?!? Wow 10 years ago already! We were so young. Still grappling strong 💪🏼
God...the sobbing broke my heart. My 9 year old got knocked out of states when he thought he had a clear shot to placing....the heartbreaking sobs that came from him made me cry...even tho I was trying to be strong. I couldn't imagine it being his last match ever ..and losing in such a horrible way...the ref ended his season for him. Watching this makes me question (for the millionth time) why I got my twins into wrestling. They're both so good, but the better you are, the harder you take losses. If my 9 year old son's sons kill me, I can imagine how I'll feel to hear those heart breaking sobs at 18...💔
It was heartbreaking to watch Joe through that- I actually left my camera on the ground to go after him and make sure he was going to be okay. That’s why the video goes black but the audio keeps running. I felt like that was still important to include in the film. Honestly the rest of the production wasn’t the same after that. It took Joe a while to come around but when he did, he was his class-clown self again. Tough kid. I hope your sons find the wisdom and benefit from their losses ☺️. Sometimes not meeting our goals is exactly what we need to grow.
@32:00 I felt that my senior year. Finally won districts and went to regionals to be taken out by #2 and #4. I bawled my eyes out for a long time. After some words I went back to cheer on my team. My season wasn't over yet cause I went back to practice to help my teammates prepare for State. Great times and experienced every emotion in this sport.
This sport can teach you to summon your resilience in the face of life’s hardships, and how to stand back up when you’re taken down. Thanks for sharing your story! I’m happy you resonated with the film.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. And yes, it is agony.

Wonderful job guys. This documentary really shows how strong wrestlers are.
Thanks, Chris! Wrestling is a sport that can bring out the best in us. I love it
Coach Holmes, we are going to win Galaxies this season.
Leggooooo
Great job with this, to all involved. We need more stories like these.
Telling stories that heal and inspire is my greatest passion. Thanks for watching!
I came across this to quicky realize this is all right in my backyard. Amazing to see Eric Chambers as when I was his age I was wrestling with his birth father. Spent a lot of time with him and his mom at tournaments and the freestyle/ Greco-Roman club. It was sad to lose a great guy like that, so young.
Great documentary!
Small world! To this day I still see my teammates as family. Losing brothers is always heartbreaking, but like Eric, we find a way and give it our all. That’s wrestling with life 💪
This is amazing! Sad to see it did not get too many views yet, honestly this is a very good documentary.
Thanks for watching! ❤️ I’m grateful that you enjoyed the film, and I hope that it’s helped you in some way.
This was a great documentary! Good job
Thank you! I hope you took something great away from the story and that it might also help your loved ones. That’s all we want!
Its crazy knowing I went to ODU in 2015 as a freshman, and I have never seen Cevon on campus is mind boggling me
Our small world is so big at the same time!
This seriously deserves more attention
Thanks for watching!! I loved every minute making this film 😌
Great video, amazing coach! (Kids put some shirts on.)
I’m happy you enjoyed the film! This was filmed back in 2014.
🔥🔥
💪💪

It’s so different in NJ. All the better kids wrestle at HS practice 3 to 4:30/5 then go to club practice with whoever’s in your club 7 to 8:30/9. And that’s a horrible call with the twisting the finger.
Many wrestling clubs in PA follow a similar practice of training in high school and attending a club afterward. This training method is one of the reasons why wrestling in PA and so competitive. However, some young athletes may not have access to clubs due to financial constraints or geographical location. That's why I was attracted to this particular team, as they had wrestlers who performed well despite not having access to these clubs. For me, the essence of wrestling is how it can enrich someone's life through victories or defeats. But you’re spot on! The schedule you are describing is what the best of the best do at the high school level. Also, the finger thing was wild. Thank you for watching my film! Hope it gave you some insight!
None of these Wrestlers should hang they're head . They wrestled they're a$$ off . Good job !
These guys did their absolute best and that’s what life is about.
Auwsome coach too .
29:00 screaming at the ref doesn’t make them call it ….
It was incredibly difficult for me not to yell while filming on the side of the mat. My heart went out for these kids as I watched them, in preparation for filming, suffer through the year’s practices and matches. I agree with you, but it’s hard to hold your energy back when your heart is racing and in the moment.
@@reelnationmedia I grew up around Sports my whole life and I get it. Wasn’t a knock as I have done it too. I’m just saying it never helps. Love your page and content. I’m sorry if I came off like a Dick
East high needs a new coach
There is always room for improvement and to learn from setbacks 🙌
Not a very motivating coach. Great doc tho
Thanks for watching, Jur!

Such a racist video concerning omaha
Please explain
@@reelnationmedia Was the last kid to wrestle from Harrisburg related to Ed Ruth?
Where’s the explaining?
Why did this pop up right next to "George gets massaged by a man" from Seinfeld ? I mean wrestling is not that ghey.
Wrestling is an ancient sport that has been practiced for thousands of years, with its origins traced back to ancient Greece. It was often used as a form of military training in many cultures throughout history, such as the ancient Persians who used "koshti" to prepare soldiers for battle. The sport helped to build strength, endurance, and mental toughness, as well as teach strategy and quick thinking, all of which were valuable skills for soldiers on the battlefield. Today, wrestling continues to be a physically demanding sport that requires discipline, humility, and respect, and is enjoyed by athletes around the world. Many famous athletes and public figures, such as former US President Theodore Roosevelt and UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, have backgrounds in wrestling.
