Yea I mean Calvin has been on a streak. He kept wrestling really tough guys the last
couple weeks and comes up there and we needed him for the win to seal the victory. It is
pretty exciting he got motivated here and hopefully he goes on a streak here the next
couple weeks and gets hot. He wrestled really well against Menlow and they are our rival.
Of course we have beat them for a number of years already but it is always a tight match.
We had 4 starters out of the lineup and we still won so I was pretty stoked about that.
We have Cal Baptist here on friday. Well 2 of our region representatives do our region
rankings and currently in the region we are only ranked 6th. It is supposed to be a duel
meet ranking a lot people say individual ranking. I think we should have at least 3 or 4 guys
who are nationally ranked because we have beaten some ranked people. Of course we have
beaten number 8, 11 and 16 in the nation and we just get votes. There are 4 regions and
2 rankers from each region they are just looking at the regional rankings. They are not looking
that we have beaten these opponents. This is the way it has been for a long time. In
1997 when we were national champs there were 4 regions too and we finished 1st in the region
in the final coaches poll we were ranked 6th. We don't get too much respect but it is nice
to be ranked. However they need to do a better job. There are 2 rankings that are out the
official one has us honorable mention. I know we are going to finish higher than that. I
think that Cal Baptist and ourselves are kind of the sleepers. I don't think anyone knows
us on the west coast. They have 3 nationally ranked kids and from top to bottom they are
probably the toughest team that we will face in division 2. They will be tough. We are
going to go down there in a few hours. Drive to beautiful Riverside. It is our last duel
meet and it is very important that our more successful guys win those matches against
Cal Baptist. If we lose we get a lower seed and then we will have to go against tougher
kids. We have about 3 real tough matchups and we need to win those matches.
