StParis Graham -vs- Blair Academy

• refjimbob

  Does Anyone Know if this match is going to be held at Graham's gym?
  Its my understanding that they are in the process of building a new gym. Is it finished or is this match being held somewhere else?

  The old gym still is being used. How it sounds, in the future they will "turn around" the stands upstairs in the old gym, which then will be used in the new gym.
  
  Hard to describe...

  What said's saying is that they are going to put a wall up where that railing is and turn the stands around so they are facing into the new gym..I am pretty sure that they will have the dual in the old gym..the Springfield news paper says that doors open @ 5:30pm Saturday...I hope that helps if u didn't understand what said was saying..

  Just a shame they scheduled it on the 30th. Most likely a smaller crowd.
  
  Anywho, Go Graham!!! Beat them Jersey boys!
  
  Does anybody know of a freehuddle of the Jersey world? I'd love to read their perspective on the dual.

  Hey cruiser you can go to Nj.com and look but I don't think you will find anything. I grew up In NJ and theres not a lot of press about HS wrestling because most news is about the pro sports in New york and the NJ devils. Also Blair is a pvt. Academy and they don't wrestle dual meets in NJ they don't even take part in the state tournament. Only time I saw them wrestling was when I lived in Easton Pa for three years and they would take part in an event held there . I think the called it the highschool final four. Easton would invite Blair and two other schools like Bredon Fl. or other top teams from around the country. This year Blair beat Easton 51 to 10.

  All depends on how you look at it I guess!

  Is the dual at the High School or Middle School?

  I'm pumped for the matchup this weekend. My brother wrestles for Graham (Huston Evans). Hopefully they can knock off the mighty Blair.
  
  Also, for anyone looking to attend, i would advise you to be there when the doors open. They are playing the basketball game first and then the dual. That gym will be packed and if you don't arrive at least 1-1.5 hrs early, you will not get a seat.

  I watched Blair last night on Comcast. It was the finals of the Final Four in Easton (previously mentioned above). They are the real deal, very tough and punishing in the top position. They wrestled a team from Dallas that was ranked 18th in the country (I think) and pretty much dominated them. Their 140 lb'er is ranked number 1 in the country. Should be a great night of wrestling this weekend.
