statewide coverage of all Indiana high school
sports, we at HoosierAuthority.com are proud to bring you the wrestling blog of
2006 125-pound state champion Eric McGill of Munster. Eric finished a fantastic junior
season at 46-1, including a 3-2 victory in the state finals over Portage�s Adam Walters,
and he�s back to take the title at 140 this year, where he�s ranked No. 1.
Here is Eric�s first installment as
we head into the 2006-2007 season �
We are
about one month into the season, and everything is going great. We just had our
first tournament last weekend at the Chesterton Super Duals. I went 5-0 at 140
and had four pins. It was a nice way to start the season.
The
tournament gave two Outstanding Wrestler awards, one for 103 through 145 pounds
and one for 152 to 275. I won the award for the lightweights, and my future
teammate at Cornell
University, Travis Dale
from McCutcheon, won the award for the upper weights. Overall it was a good weekend,
and I�m looking forward to our next match, a dual meet at Hammond Morton, on
Nov. 22.
It will be
nice to be able to eat on Thanksgiving because we don�t have another match
after that until the following Thursday at home against Calumet!
Well, that�s
all for now. I will keep everyone updated as much as I can with how everything
is going.
