Head Coach Steward, I assume? Ironically, he and my dad were in the same bracket at state in '78. Dewitt Central alum. I'm pretty sure I pissed him off in a mass facebook message that I sent to everyone when I was drunk. Claimed that one of my practice partners was talented enough to be a D1 champ...he was a D3 8th place finisher. He took it as, 1.) random and out of nowhere/strange and 2.) Are you implying I'm a bad coach since I was only able to get this 'D1 talent' an 8th place finish in D3?" He responded to the mass-message and basically called me an idiot.....and boy did I ever feel like one the next day. (shudder)
My 8th grade year I placed 4th at 110. The guy who won my bracket was from Sioux City Heelan. His name was Mike Winklepleck...it was his 3rd title. Awesome wrestler. Nice guy.
My brother who is 2 years younger than me always had a Patrick Allibone in his bracket who was pretty feisty. Pretty sure he was a Sioux City kid.
