Sorry that I hit a nerve with anyone for even suggesting that SJA split its team up to wrestle at Garden City this weekend. It just seems that this year teams in the smaller divisions are splitting up more than they use to just for the purpose of seeking out competition.

At the beginning of the year Norton went to two varsity tournaments and split the team to seek the best matchups. They performed quite well as I remember bringing home hardware from both tournaments. At the end of December Halstead sent its 3 best wrestlers to Bishop Carroll where Soward took 4th and the Thibaults both finished 2nd. To start the new year off Lamar from Silver Lake headed south to Derby where he showed his stuff and gave Daniel DeShazer all he wanted.

I would compare the situation similar to when ole' Frenchy, Jean Girad, left Formula 1 racing to come and meet me in the oval of doom, NASCAR. It really would have been nice to see those marquee matchups at 130 and 145 with the Colorado and New Mexico boys.
