The wrestling season ended this weekend. Shayne went 2-2 and that included a thrilling 39 second pin of the #1 seed and #8 Brakeman wrestler in the state. He ended the season 32-15, not bad at all. Joe went 2-3 and placed 6th the district. He won both matches on Friday but lost 3 in a row Saturday. He needed just 1 win in the Saturday morning season to advance to the state meet. He ended up 28-13. All in all it was another step forward for the program. We will a new mat for next year, new uniforms and home matches next year. This should help the program continue to build.
Now that wrestling season is over, it is time to start thinking about March madness. Kent State will need to win the MAC to go the big dance. Ohio State is a lock, and maybe a #1 seed. They have a big game today against #2 Wisconsin. I don't think any other school has played in as many #1 vs #2 games as THE Ohio State University. They played 3 in football and now 1 in basketball.
Baseball has started spring training. I already have a few games planned. I will see 2 opening day games. I will be in Detroit for their opening game and then in Cleveland for theirs. The Labor Day trip will be "Back to the Bronx". We are taking the kids to NYC. It will be more for the kids than the adults. Years from now, they will be able to say to their kids, I was at "old" Yankee Stadium. I also will be making a trip to Texas to visit "my team" the San Angelo Colts. We will spend the weekend in San Angelo while visiting family in Fort Worth.
