Xavier Fisher signed yesterday with Pratt Community college. We had a nice ceremony after school in the Little Theater at MHS. Vince thank you for taking the time to do the list. The Mahattan Mercury Joel Jellison wrote a nice article on Xavier back before the High School State tournament. Also should be a article in tonight newspaper. Xavier came out for wrestling last December and was finally eligible in January of 2009. He wrestled a year and a half and attend about 75-80 practices in that time frame. Nathan Broeckelman and Tim McCarthy worked after practice with X. Both Coaches gave excellent speech s yesterday about his work ethic and improved attitude toward school. X's best wrestling is in the future. He is currently wrestling with Manhattan Freestyle WC and Coach Mike Miller. I look forward to Coach Josh Carroll guiding Xavier in to the next level of college wrestling. We are six weeks from graduation and it will be close for Xavier. What was really cool after the signing Coach B. was working with X on his algebra. Xavier Fisher has made great strides to earn a diploma, three years ago I would not have been so sure.RMG
