Here we GO!!! The regular season is coming to a close and I expect it to finish with fireworks. This season is ending with what promises to be the biggest league match in many years. West Side against the Golden Eagles. I have been looking forward to this match for a while and now it's finally here. This one is for all the marbles, kids. The league championship. It's an important match, but may not be as important as the next match when the two teams meet on Saturday. And they will meet again on Saturday, I have no doubt that West Side and Central will meet in the sectional dual meet championship to decide who will move on to the state championship. So Wednesday is important, but in the big picture, it's just a warm-up for Saturday.

There are a lot of people trying to predict the outcome of this one, but it's no easy pick. The way I figure it, the matches that should be a no brainer are Central winning 112, 140, and 189, and West Side winning 119, 171 and 215. I am giving a slight nod to Central at 145 – 160 and a slight nod to West Side at 130, 135 and 285. This one is going to come down to depth. Who has the best wrestlers at each teams weakest weight classes. We all know where the strength on each team lies, but who has the depth and the heart. My prediction? Central 35 – 31.

You can bet that the bleachers will be overflowing at West Side. I expect large contingents from both sides. The gym will be loud, the wrestling will be exciting, and you can bet that the outcome will be in doubt right up to the very end. Get there early and get a seat. This one is gonna be a full house. If all goes as expected, we will be talking about this match for years. See ya there!!!
