Tough to be Austin. Albert Lea needs their wrestlers playing football.

A lot of them do I imagine.

It’s ten, 2-0 teams in 6A through two weeks

Forest Lake
White Bear Lake
Centennial
Champlin Park
Edina
Minnetonka
Maple Grove
Moorhead
Farmington
Shakopee

Makes me happy to see Forest Lake being pretty good the last few years after how historically terrible they were for so long.

Forest Lake snuck by Anoka and Prior Lake. With Mack Jurkovich out, the offense is really hurting and not explosive. They ran Kevin Ndirangu into the ground playing both ways last night. They really haven’t used Rychley much at all so far, he doesn’t look bad in his few carries. If Jurkovich is out for very long, I don’t see a world where this offense works long term.

Moorhead's death march gets extra real!

Coaching pay, facilities, youth programs, and/or what? Just curious

Result:

EP 14, MG 28 @ MG High School

This was a tight, very physical game. EP running game and D are going to be tough to handle.

Historically they haven’t. Some coaches do not like to share athletes and fall wrestling opportunities have increased. Look at all of the AAU basketball and club baseball tournaments now in the fall. Check book leagues everywhere

Facilities I can see for sure
At least varsity coaches are really good dudes and know their stuff

Growing up, I remember quite a few of my classmates being involved in athletics year round:

Football in the fall
Basketball, hockey, or wrestling in the winter
Baseball, track or golf in the spring

Perhaps that's changed since 40 years ago.

Yes it has. NCAA Recruiting and offer dates have changed as well. Colleges want to see a small percentage athletes out of season but many think it applies to them.
