Y2CJ41 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 By Kassie Barroquillo k.barroquillo@gmail.com KENDALLVILLE — Despite losing to Columbia City, 40-29, Wednesday, East Noble ended its senior night with a cheering crowd, a trophy, and an excited team — all thanks to a wrestler who has become the heart of the squad.

BeastMode#31 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Love the interview. John is a beast on the mat...he went after Weimer! Got some great coaches and wrestlers in East Noble... As much as Coach Pepple, Weimer, Garret, and team taught John he also taught them the importance of looking out for others. Barrq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
