I have been putting this post off for a while. I really wanted to think about, and digest this season before I gave my final thoughts. There was a lot that happened this year, good and bad, and it has taken me a little time to let it take shape in my mind. First I [...]
I was just sitting pondering the season, thinking about all the great wrestlers that are in Western Mass this year. I thought it would be fun to put together a Western Mass fantasy team. This is the team that I would put together if there was to be a Western Mass All-Star Team. You may [...]

Most of the guys haven't had a match in three weeks and the rust was showing. In contrast, West Springfield brought the good stuff. Congratulations to [...]
