Um there's nothing more lonely than being an individual continuing to go on by yourself. I did that when I was in high school and it it's kind of miserable to be pushing yourself the whole way and it's a testament to East wrestling program and the six qualifiers that they had and five placers and again four returning next year. Uh for and and on top of that I looked through their roster of their 14 starters 11 of them are returning. So there's a high probability of them being state dual champs as well. Um on the other side of the school or county excuse me Cowan Long also represented Columbus North at uh the wrestling finals. So congratulations to him as well. Um congratulations for the gymnastics teams. North won team sectionals and next week is going to be regionals and there's no semi-state correct it goes straight to state after regionals.

Am I right? I think so. And if you didn't know anything about North gymnastics team they're among the best in the state and have been on the podium I think the last four or five years. So good luck to them and then congratulations to East gymnast Bethany Lewis who was the all-around champ uh for sectionals and so she will continue on as well through regionals and hopefully state as well. This Friday is going to be a barn burning rematch of North versus East if I remember right that one went to overtime. And so uh that starts the sectional tournament. So nothing like certain sectionals in the state tournament where you have your cross town rival. So and then on top of that this weekend uh 25th Street is going to be pretty busy. Uh the Indiana State Wrestling Association is hosting uh the state wrestling meet for folk style so probably all six of those individuals that were sitting over there are probably going to be wrestling again this weekend this weekend.
