Coaches, I would like to thank you for sending your team's results so I could follow your team's success throughout the season. With each edition I shared their success in the Mat Rat Reports and Section Reports. Send those season summaries when you are done with your season stats. Please include your overall dual meet records and a list of varsity wrestlers with grades and win/loss records. Please either fax (1-320-363-4192) or email (matrat@astound.net) Thanks, The Mat Rat Roger Mischke
