The name on the wall in the Portage wrestling room serves as a regular reminder to Kyle Keith. Eric Keith, 2000 state champion, 140 pounds. "It motivates me," Kyle said. Not necessarily to match his brother's accomplishments, not even to try to distance himself his long shadow, just to establish a wrestling identity of his own. "I was talking to someone (Monday), I remember when I was young, it was, 'oh, that's my brother, I want to be like him,'" Kyle said. "I looked up to him. Every time I saw him walk out on the mat, I thought, 'oh my gosh, he's really good.' It was very special for my brother, our family. We all went through it. I grew up watching the Portage dynasty. I like it that (Eric)'s my brother. I just didn't really care to be known as 'Eric's little brother'. But I don't have a problem with it now." Eric, who wrestled at Michigan State, and dad Kerry remain huge influences. They scout matches for Kyle and Eric's forever tutoring him, though the two are completely opposite wrestlers. Eric weighed 140 and was a takedown machine. Kyle's a 189 who thrives on back points. http://nwi.com/articles/2009/01/14/sports/indiana_prep_sports/doce14e0ee63ae7b2ac8625753d00634c4e.txt

Mike Clark isn't your ordinary prep student-athlete. In fact, there's nothing ordinary at all about Calumet's wrestling captain. Quiet, and unassuming, Clark seems to be an extraordinary individual. He's demonstrated responsibility, has proven himself to be reliable and dependable, and demonstrated he's individual of great character. Mature beyond his 17 years, Clark is a young man who takes care of business nearly 24/7. He maintains a B-plus average in school, is one of the top 130-pound wrestlers in the area, and has been running his own business out of his family's garage for a couple of years now. The business -- Clark's Screen Printing and Sign Advertisement -- has expanded from making and selling stickers and graphics for race cars, tow trucks and other vehicles -- to designing and manufacturing silk screen T-shirts. "I probably make around 300-400 shirts a month,'' said Clark, who estimates he earns about $2,000 in profit every month, which helps him defray the costs of his machines and materials. http://www.post-trib.com/sports/highschools/1374302,wrsclark.article

I went with Calumet At Calumet we have had a wrestler in the finals every year since 1995 a least

I have seen him wrestle both Like the Tricoff he was at 125 but I could see him wrestling the DAC at 130 to go for a title. 125 is pretty stacked But you know what I'm saying
