02/12/2007 Commonwealth District Wrestling


Massaponax senior Josh Wine glances towards Colonial Forge's team before athlete introductions for the championship round of the Commonwealth District Wrestling Tournament at Massaponax High School on Saturday, February 10, 2007. Wine was Massaponax's only wrestler to make the final round while Colonial Forge sent 14 athletes, one for each weight class. Watching the Eagles wait for the last bouts to begin, Wine said Forge's overwhelming presence didn't bother him, he just planned to focus on his match and wrestle to the best of his ability. Wine won his match over Forge's Josh Capriani, stretching his undefeated record to 40-0. (Mike Morones/The Free Lance-Star)

Mike, I think this column is a great idea! Looks good so far!

I wish I could say it was an original idea but there are many others out there who do it far better than I. Scott Strazzante and his Heart & Soul column for the Chicago Tribune is my inspiration for doing this. After seeing his work online and at the Atlanta PJ Workshop, I felt compelled to try my hand at it. So, if A Sporting Life isn't a blatant rip-off, it is at least an homage to his example.
