Btw, for any Iowans or anyone interested in Iowa high school wrestling, you can listen to the podcast tomorrow, starting at 11:45 AM...here is the link:

Did some research on track. Congrats to your bro at sectionals. Is Assumption still in the same district? Sucks since y'all are seemingly the two best 2A teams in the state. Getting your 120 pounder through to state would be huge.

Thanks man! Assumption isn't in our district, but Albia is...Albia is a good traditional tournament team. I think they are ranked 2nd. Shea will be the favorite in the bracket next week considering he is the only ranked kid, but no one at districts is ever anyone to take lightly... Expecting to see every opponent at the top of their games.

Our 120 lber placed 3rd at 106 lbs last year, but has been a bit small at 120 lbs this year...today he gave the returning 113 lb state champ a run for his money. I think the final score ended up being 8-7...was a great match...Our 120 lber has seemed undersized all season, but actually looked like a 120 lber today...I think he has grown physically into the spot.

If we get our heavyweight through, I will be so pumped. He has come so far from last season.

Now off to districts for my 8th grade bro tomorrow...hoping for an all-around good weekend for both of them.

Today was fun.

Good deal. I was looking at last year's district results and saw Assumption was in district 1 with y'all. I knew your 120 pounder was tough, but thought he might catch a tough bracket with Green and the Assumption kid (Gould). Just top 2 advance, right? That's why I was thinking it would be a crucial weight. But Im glad to hear they aren't in the same district this year.

Oh you're right, it's definitely a crucial weight...for sure. This Skylar Cunningham from the Albia Sectional has sporadically caught fire off and on throughout the season and it appears that he caught it again yesterday...our 120 lber is going to have to make sure that he wrestles real well his first match at districts. Brendan Gould from Assumption looked real tough when I watched him earlier this year...he's probably the toughest kid I've seen at 120 this year.
