Down to the final days

Well here it is the final weekend of the season.
I have to tell you, to me at least, it seems like the 2006-07 prep wrestling season has just flown by.
Now we are down the best 224 kids in each division and when it’s said and done only 42 will be crowned as state champions.
This weekend in Columbus is a holiday. It’s a wrestling holiday like Christmas for the fans. Santa brings Ohio wrestling fans everything they want in the form of emotion, drama and great matches on the mat. It’s like being a kid in a candy store if you love wrestling.
Here’s what we have on tap…
Below is a list of all the first round matches for wrestlers for the Northwest District in all three divisions.
Plus as many news links as I could find.
Tomorrow I’ll be bloggin’ about my memories as a state champion back in 1986.
Updates on NW Ohio wrestlers from throughout the state tournament, I’ll do as much as I can as long as I have a Wi-Fi connection at the Schott.
