3A District wrestling

Ballard is sending 11 in 2A with only 1 being a senior. Should have a very legitimate shot at a state title at least the next couple of years. They have beaten a couple nationally ranked hs teams this year in a tourney in Minnesota.

Did you notice how the DMR didn't have an article about Inidanola winning the CIML title?

Awwww, crap! I went to the same HS as Southernhawk!

Go Indians! Pin em (or something... wrestling??)

drmwevr08, I had the same thoughts....there always seemed to be way too many EIU fans at IHS.

Hopefully we can get 3rd or 4th at traditional state and duals. Maybe they could pull off 1st or 2nd...but Iowa City West and Waverly-Shell Rock would have to be victims of major upsets for that to happen!

Personally I'd just like to see us wipe the mats with SE Polk next Tuesday in our path to State Duals...since our regular season dual w/ them was cancelled TWICE this year (weather) so we had to take on the title of "CIML Co-Champs". Doesn't quite have the same ring as in '06 and '07 when we were THE "CIML Champs"

my school wrestled your school at team state when i was a sophomore in 1996. i think you guys won it that year, we got third. think i had to wrestle one of those pugh kids. i got stomped out.

Yeah, the pughs are pretty awesome. Everybody thinks you're supposed to sy it pug though. It's actually pew. They last two years a pugh has won at least one state championship. Where did you go to school?

Our wrestling team was saved by the weather in one aspect. I remember wrestling Polk and I don't think those guys showered or knew what deodorant was.

Remember last year's state wrestling was the weekend of the ice storm.

Easy now. Couldn't beat SEP in your day or what?

I tried walking to Campus from my apartment that Saturday morning and it was rough. Glad I didn't venture to Des Moines that day.
