I was cheering my arse off for ALL of the Evansville kids (including the Reitz kids - in fact, probably more for the Reitz kids than any of the other non-MD kids), so it always raises my rankles when I see some idiot on here trying to pit Reitz and MD against each other. To say that this has not been a typical year for MD would be understating it...yet, they still beat Reitz in their dual meet & they still won the Regional. And in an earlier post, someone said, "MD is a better dual meet team, Reitz is a better tournament team"...that's an awfully big generalization to be basing off of ONE YEAR.
Here's a little something from the IHSAA website:
Most Individual Champions by a School (1933-43; 1950-present)
EMD: 25
REITZ: 2
Looks to me like MD does all right in tournaments....
Good luck to all the Evansville kids @ state this week-end, especially my westside boys Parkinson, Forzley, Wimpelberg, Kuhn, and Davis!!!
