how is Union doing on the mat? I havent heard but I sure am curious. I have heard that Central is burning it up which is what was expected.

I have only seen union at the scrimmage we had at Central. Reggie and Zack are there two best wrestlers. I do know they went to DB last weekend. Haven't heard how they did.

As far as Central we went to Daniel Boone to a Duals match. 8 Teams 2 pools. Central went 4-1, lost to Abington 42-39 in finals. We had a couple of kids out taking SAT. So some kids had to wrestle up a weight class.

Reggie Hamilton is a hellluva wrestler for Union. He is built like a wrestler, and competes all across the country.

yeah I believe so. There are a few state champs, runner ups and placers from last year. Grundy my win it as a team but it's going to be good. Floyd County as a team was runner up last year.

You should come. If you do i'll bet that you'll come to another one in the future.

I don't care how good you are never say it's in the bag until it is.
