We feel your pain

Add Trinity's Grant Lowther to the list of walking, but not wrestling, wounded in this high school wrestling season. The Trinity senior has an undisclosed injury and will not be in the lineup for the Powerade Tournament, which starts Friday at Canon-McMillan High School. he is expected back in mid-January.

Trinity coach Jeff Bricker doesn't want to reveal what's wrong because he's afraid wrestlers will try to aggravate the condition when Lowther returns. Would other wrestlers do that? Nahhhh.

Geez, at this rate, there may be no one left to wrestle when the postseason begins. The injury list includes West Greene's Kory Bissett (shoulder), SS Beaver's John Prezzia (knee), Fort Cherry heavyweight Matt Kosarik (back), and Burgettstown's Ryan Watson (shoulder). And that's just in the first month. Granted, some of those injuries happened before the season, but that doesn't make it any easier to take.

Maybe wrestling should change its rules to allow padding.
