ontherise219 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 January 07, 2014 6:15 pm • Jim Peters james.peters@nwi.com, (219) 548-4363 Unlike horseshoes and hand grenades, close doesn't count in wrestling. For Valparaiso's Derrick Suttles, his near misses culminated in the first round of last year's Merrillville Semistate, where he dropped a one-point decision to South Bend Clay's Jaylin Allen. A week later, Allen finished second in the state finals. "I was that close," Suttles said. "I've been in that situation since my sophomore year. I'd wrestle ranked guys, and I was close to beating them, but I couldn't quite do it." http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/high-school/wrestling/valpo-s-suttles-has-learned-how-to-win-close-matches/article_acde9d15-cafd-5e8e-9b61-00f387308b82.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
