I agree that we should have the wrestling challenge, but Carroll is the number one wrestling team in the state and 21st in the Nation. They went down to Perry, Oklahoma last weekend and won the Tournament of Champions (a national tournament) by about 20 points. They would dominate that tournament. But other than Carroll the City-League is pretty weak this year in wrestling, even compared to the last couple years.

It is interesting to read a journalist actually comment on their lack of knowledge in the area of high school wrestling. Usually you see writers try to pass it off as if they have some knowledge of the sport. With the Eagle does a fine job of covering high school sports, it often seems that wrestling is left out. Rarely this year have dual and tournament results been published, and the season preview was scant, as it left out some of the areas teams, like Wichita Independent and Andover Central.

I agree with your statement that swim meets are fast-paced and exciting. These are tremendous athletes - these kids are in great condition for the demands of the water. I encourage you to get out and enjoy some of the action this winter. We have some great swimmers in the area. These guys are every bit as “stud-ly” as the wrestlers. I do want to offer a correction, though: Campus has had a swim team for a number of years. I have a friend that swam for Campus in the early 80’s. They have a long-standing swim tradition there. Fun article, keep up the good work.

Let’s have a Mid-Continent League-City League wrestling challenge. Carroll, Northwest, and two other schools (Kapaun, Heights) in a team dual round-robin vs. Smith Center, Norton, Phillipsburg and one other (proably Plainville or Osborne). Let’s see if the best league in 3-2-1A can hold up with the big boys.
