March 29, 2006

By Roger Mischke

A special thanks to all the coaches and statisticians that sent me their results throughout the season. That is what makes these columns possible to be able to be put together. Again this is for the wrestlers, parents, schools and community. Please either fax (1-320-363-4192) or email matrat@astound.net / cmmatrat@hotmail.com those season summaries if you haven’t already done so.

Please include the following information:

  1. Varsity Wrestlers - Win and Loss Records
  2. Team Dual Meet Records (Conference/Overall)
  3. Some season highlights
  4. Placements in your tournaments during season.
  5. Team records that may have been set or broken
  6. Careers wins by your wrestlers

Thanks,

The Mat Rat Roger Mischke.

Note: I am sorry that I don’t have all the sections available to break down for the fans; I have been trying to get those brackets.
