I see lots of sports updates but no update on Canon Mac winning the Reno tournament??????? None of the individual or team scores for this local team? Guess the 7 college basketball teams leaving the Big East is more important
How did Schram get pinned?
congrats to cm wrestlers and their coaches for a excellent showing at the RTOC, well done!!
The event was held in Nevado and finished after the newspaper was published Saturday night.
Also, I had computer issues of my own that made the posts a little late.
Schram and Campbell each were winning when they got pinned. Schram was pinned by a hip-toss.
Congratulations to all of the Canon Mac wrestlers, you all wrestled hard and were awarded with the team title. Way to go!!
This should be a way bigger story than it is. Reno is a gigantic tournament. I think there were something like 85-90 teams this year? I would put it right on the same level as Beast, Ironman, & Powerade. For CM to win the title and bring home 5 All-Americans is a huge deal. The success of this wrestling team is equivalent to a football team finishing top 10 in the country and having multiple 5-star prospects. A big well done all around to the CM wrestling community.
It makes me wonder how WPIAL wrestling would have looked even 5-10 years ago if FloWrestling would have been around. So many great teams and individuals that merited a lot of respect at the national level that went un-noticed.
The story was at the top of our Monday Sports section with a photo. Had the results and coach's comments. Not sure how much better it could be played.
I did try to talk my management into sending me to the sunny climate of Reno for, oh a week or so, but was turnded down. :)
I can not believe they didn't send you out there Joe!
Some people still dont get that wrestling will never be a headline sport. For some wrestlers its a free ride for a college education that many dont take full advantage of because of the dedication the sport takes. I guess one could move on to the glamour of an MMA career. Parents are devout wrestling fans until their kids graduate, then they disappear.
I guess?
