Saw Ragle defaulted out after the first match. Hope he’s okay.

East Central is very dominant with only three Seniors in their lineup.

The should wait until Sunday to release it.

My favorite has to be in 2013, our heavyweight Joe Garland of Rushville was 34-1 going in to Semi-State. Beat Trawick at Regionals in OT. Got through the ticket round and lost a tight 3-1 match to Donte Winfield in the semis. Lost 4-3 to Ramsey of North Mont. Gave up a TD in the final 15 seconds. I was devastated for him. We wrestled Oglesby from BD Friday at state and won 3-1. Matched up with Bartoszek from Hanover Central and won by fall before wrestling Wesley Bernard from Cathedral in the semis. The match was tied 1-1 with about 30 seconds to go and we got a TD on the edge to go up 3-1 and I felt great, but we got called for locking hands to make it 3-2 with about 12 seconds left. It was the longest 12 seconds of my life. We were able to ride him out for the win. Then Joe wrestled well but dropped the finals match 5-1 to Winfield. Such an awesome ride to be apart of!

Graduated in 2006, wrestling at 145. Now I’m at 190.

Happen to us last weekend. We lost to East Central 78-6. Two of their wins were forfeits, rest were pins, and our win was by pin.

This was our first year coming to the Cub Classic. Very well ran tournament. I would have loved to have had a full New Albany team there, and a few others to field a full tournament, but I know some things happen. Good luck in the state tournament!

He has been injured. Centerville came to our tournament the second weekend in December and he told me he had hoped to be back for team state. I’m guessing he will be back in time for sectionals.
