Wrestling starts Friday at 4, any thoughts?

A couple of state placers competing are Clay-Nick Garcia, Findlay-Mike Alexander, Liberty Center-Jake Elling and Wauseon-Nick McCall

nothin huh? this is starting to look like a JJ thread

A couple interesting semis but other than that, it's a snooze fest. Yawn...

ouch.... Actually, so far it's been a blast. Good wrestlers across the board with very few super studs to kill the suspense. Started on time, ran quickly through Friday. But, it's bracketed, so we may only get four matches out of a two day tournament.

Clutter (Westland) looks strong. I wanted to watch the heavy gladstone wrestle but haven't managed to be paying attention at the right time yet. How could I have missed him? The 152 from Sandusky -- Valliant --- looks very strong and so far I've missed all of Caston's matches (also from Sandusky at 119). Grove City is putting in a good showing in the team race -- I think they were in third the last time I heard team scores. Westland, who lost about 9 varsity guys to the levy, was also in the top ten teams early in the tournament. Not sure where they are now. The other central Ohio team, Bradley, is struggling in the team race so we won't even think about that. The bracket gods were not terribly good to this young team.

Ok... its really scattered, but hey, it's a mom's perspective. No yawning allowed!

Thanks for the update mom. Good luck to Bradley!

Thanks for the update! Is Reynoldsburg at this tournament?
