The postseason is here for Missouri Wrestling and the road to the state podium starts on Friday afternoon (February 9th) in gymnasiums across the state. For those in the northwest sections of the St. Louis metro/county areas and most of Mid-Missouri, that gymnasium will be at St. Charles West High School in St. Charles, MO. […]
The Missouri Valley Men’s Open has been traditionally one of the toughest regular-season tournaments in the state of Missouri for college wrestlers, if not the Midwest as there were teams from all three NCAA levels (Div. 1, 2, and 3), NJCAA teams, and a significant contingent of NAIA schools (including the host Missouri Valley). Among […]
It seems to this writer that the regular season for the Mexico Lady Bulldogs just started, and now they’ve come to their last regular season meet of the year.

Going into the Friday Night Dual versus Mexico, the Centralia Panthers are 4-2 on the season in duals. Their two losses came against two other NCMC opponents Hannibal and Moberly. Last weekend the Panthers traveled to St. Louis to compete in the Fred Ross Invitational hosted by Lafayette HS. The Panthers did very well, finishing […]
After only having 1 day off from competition before diving right back into the fray, the Mexico Lady Bulldogs hosted their only home meet of the season, the 3rd Annual Brick City Classic. Coach Senor worked hard in scheduling tougher teams than in years past to provide a postseason-like atmosphere for all the teams in […]
