    Wildcat...I'm pretty sure I was your son's drill partner last night. He's a strong kid with some good stuff. We had a nice little four-man group going for the live goes. I look forward to seeing him again next week. BTW, sometimes it's hard to walk in a room solo when you don't know anyone and you've never been there before. He was respectful and a good sport, definately a positive addition to the room.

    Hope to see you tomorrow night, kibbles and bitters!

    Cruiser...I wouldn't miss it. Tuesday nights at The Port have become a staple in my weekly routine. See you then.

    You mean the CDWCA open mats at Hilliard Bradley right.

    Bitter...My son said he had some great one on one with the coaches last night.....he will be back next week.....he mentioned wresting on the spring team.....he was beyond excited....I think the first thing he did was text his coach....he was 33/12 last year at 171 pounds last year....the only thing on his mind is state for his senior year....

    Cruiser Wildcats are trying to be there on Tuesday....my son has a trainer that lifts with him Mon-Tues-Thurs so if we dont see you Tuesday I know two or three Wildcats will be there Friday.....171/185 (depending on his eating habit this week LOL)....and a 215 for sure...

    Plus Newark is trying to put a small group of kids together for Weds mats in Hillaird....

    Hilliard Bradley is correct...my bad
  • cruiser_96
    Awesome. We get a good group from Lancaster, Logan, Teays Valley, Canal Winchester... We usually have a few other schools represented but for some reason I'm drawing a blank right now... Oh, Hartley, Bradley, Licking Heights... Bexley... I'm running thin, but I'm SURE there are others.

    All that to say, adding Newark would be great! Hopefully things "work out". ...see what I did there? "WORK OUT"!? Trainer... lifting... getting to open mats!? Ahhhh, forget it.

    Cruiser....what address are open mats for Groveport....it looks like Newark will be there...
  • cruiser_96
    Our open mats are conducted @

    Groveport Madison Middle School NORTH
    5474 Sedalia Drive
    Columbus, OH 43232
  • wildcats1984
    Cruiser...is that a Columbus address or Groveport...
  • cruiser_96
    I'm pretty sure it's Columbus. Our high school is in Groveport, however, this particular Middle School is in the north end of the district (hence Middle School North), which includes a large portion of Columbus.

    Let me know if you still need help.

    Factoid: My mom once lived on one side of a street that fed Columbus, the other side Whitehall. I guess the line DOES have to be somewhere.

    Cruiser...What time will you be getting there (or anyone)? I get off work at 4:00 and I don't want to head home and then turn around and drive out to the east side. So I'm just going to come up straight from work. Will you guys be there by 4:30, or should I kill some time before I leave?
  • Dirtyscramble
    I CANT WAIT FOR TONIGHT :)
  • cruiser_96
    I'll be there at 2:26pm every Tuesday. This Tuesday is particularly nice. You'll see why when you get there.

    Dirtyscramble: It is on like donkey kong.

    ps: Be prepared to discuss Wednesday, May 18th. ...if you catch my drift! ;)
  • wildcats1984
    Mats start at 6 pm though correct for the wrestlers.....
  • Bitterrunner-up
    Wildcats...I'm pretty sure it starts at 5:00.
  • cruiser_96

    Wise beyond your years, my friend. I have to check with the Mrs. first, but, that's the goal.

    One change... $15 instead of $10. I lost my rear last time around.

    Stay tuned...
  • cruiser_96
    Oh, and by the way, KILLER open mat tonight. KILLER!!!!!!!!!

    Gotta think we had 25 to 30 kids there tonight. Ranging from second string JV to state placers. All levels, all weights, great groups for sure. A few coaches on the mat as well.

    Come out next week. 5pm, enter through the back!!!
