They both wrestled great. Josh had a big match against a state qualifier, and Spencer had high-quality opponents from three states. They did an incredible job.

Their only losses are to each other, so we knew they were on a collision course with each other. It was a hard-fought match, but both of them were very cautious this time.

That turn of events, with the points that we got from that and the momentum, set up what we would do. To win a title like this, a team has to come together. And that started with him. A 103-pound young man pinned a guy he had lost to, 17-0, back in December.

Those were both great matches. That was probably a preview to the state finals.

What's the harm of a little mystification? It sure beats boring statistical analyses.

They laughed at Galileo. They laughed at Newton. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
