North Central Tournament

Just an update on the tournament in Illinois on Monday. I guess our Mishawaka team pretty much destroyed all the other teams at the tournament. The Nationally ranked team (St. Rita) had about half of their starter wrestlers and Trenton said the funny thing was none of them won their matches against Mishawaka. We beat Lowell (the good team in Michigan we will dual with this season) pretty well also. Mishawaka dominated the tournament. Tyler weighed in at 145 lbs. and St. Rita didn't have a 140 lb. wrestler. Mishawaka offered to borrow Tyler for the day so Tyler could get in plenty of matches. Although he went 1-3 he impressively beat a state placer (7th) from Illinois last year in OT 3-1! I heard it was a good match. Trenton pinned two of his opponents, teched another and beat the last one by 2 points. I guess the team and coaches were surprised at how well we beat the other teams. Anyways, anytime you have opportunity to wrestle and compete you should take it and we did. The boys came home tired - which I am always happy about as well. Tyler seems a little beat up...having trouble with his neck and ankle. Trenton got checked out yesterday for a repeat hernia...and so glad to report it was only an inflammed lymph node that should take care of itself.
