What a classy post. Thank you.
The five Franklin wrestlers that take the mats tomorrow night (along with the other nine Franklin varsity kids that won't), are all Franklin guys, although Petrole's family moved in from New Jersey in middle school or earlier, I believe.
(Although New Jersey would seem to be too long of a distance to recruit, I DID see someone from Blair Academy at the Evansville semi-state. Hmmmmm . . . )
So, win or lose, it will be done with Franklin kids. And that is a good feeling . . .
Good luck to all the teams still in the running for the IHSAA trophy.
