Random thoughts from the state wrestling tournament

OK, here's why I cover high school wrestling:

1. It is the most physically demanding high school sport, yet it gets little attention. It ranks right up there with cross country and track - no timeouts, no substitutions, just sheer endurance and strength.
2. They feed me. Well, as I've found out over the years, they don't feed you at the state tournament - unless you count potato chips and pretzels. Now at the tournaments back home, they really dish out the food. Which brings me to my top 3 wrestling tournament hospitality rooms: Alliance Top Gun, Fitch's Joshua Hephner tournament and the West Branch sectional tournament. I think I gained 15 pounds this winter. Wrestlers are cutting weight and I think they are giving it to me - thank guys.
Check back later this morning for more useless information, and perhaps some you do care about such as what area wrestlers fared in the third, fifth and seventh place matches.
