So how hard was Tuesday morning, to get out of bed with the sheets and pillow marks still permabonded to your face? How loud was that alarm clock anyway? Did it make permanent damage to your eardrums?
Enough about that, let me tell you a good HIES way to start the first weekend back: Come watch our wrestling team this weekend. The Area Duals start today at 5 p.m. in our gym - the finals are estimated to be at around 4:30 p.m. tomorrow. Though our beloved wrestling coaches enjoy being tight lipped during this week ( and I don't blame them), it is this blogger's optimism that says we WILL be in the finals tomorrow.
Anyway, this is a GOOD team. This, if my estimations are correct, will be the first time all year they will wrestle against schools their own size. They've battled Classes AAA and above all season and have still kicked butt. To name names would be a roll call of the team, but Jason Grimes, Lee Davis, Brendan Quigley and the Fanning brothers - Wes and Court - are a few to mention.
Before signing off, kudos to our basketball teams last night for beating a good Mt. Pisgah basketball program - the girls 51-36 and the boys 57-42. The subregion season starts Tuesday at home against FCA - the girls game will be podcast. I personally will try to mention your beloved 1000 times if you promise to lie and tell Ruth Donahoo what a great job I did of announcing.
And no, I haven't forgotten swimming. They are in action Saturday, the 14th in the Riverwood Meet at Marist. If my records are correct - and they may not be - this is the most state cuts we've ever made. Congrats to Coach Andy Morrison & Company.
I must go now. A bell just rang and I'm supposed to be somewhere. Not really sure where.
Peace out,
Dunn, James Dunn
