Change for the good

Call this blog change for the good.
When the OHSAA implemented the rule a few seasons ago mandating every school wrestle at least 4 dual meets in its 20 point schedulesome coaches grumbled and complained.
The best way to prep your team for the rigors of the OHSAA state tournament series was to wrestle in tournaments during the regular season and as many tournaments as possible.
The dual meet was obsolete, a relic of the past. The 4-dual rule coupled with making triangulars equal to 1-point on the 20-point schedule has breathed new life into the dual meet. Most schools still choose to schedule between 4 and 6 duals a year and wrestle in tournaments for the rest of their schedules.
But what the rule has created has been great for wrestling in my opinion. It’s helped spur exciting and intriguing dual and triangular match ups.
I like to call ‘em neighborhood skirmishes.
Two of them are on tap for tonight.
Tiffin Calvert and Tiffin Columbian will meet for the first time in a triangular meet at another neighboring school in Mohawk. Also Sandusky takes on Perkins for public school bragging rights in Sandusky.
There are other rival matches that have been created by the rule too.
Fostoria and St. Wendelin now wrestle one another as do Delphos Jefferson and Delphos St. John’s. Another of my favorites is the annual triangular featuring Norwalk, Norwalk St. Paul and Edison.
These aren’t just duals…community pride is on the line too. And the excitement and attention these matches generate is exactly what our sport needs.

Jamie, I was wondering if you could get the St. Eds/Graham results and post those. I know they're not NW, but it was a big match.

Thanks, Mike
