Nineteen people entered our Call the Champions contest. Out of a possible 15 points, the highest score was 12. The lowest was 8. Not bad. Nobody screwed the pooch.
This is the part where I announce the winner with a flourish. Problem is there isn’t a winner. Three people scored a 12, and none of those three correctly identified the MOW as Joe Hauser. I thought about imposing a random tiebreaker but that wouldn’t be fair after the fact. I’d be opening myself up to multimillion dollar lawsuits. So I’m declaring a three-way tie. Anticlimactic, I know. If a tie in sports is like kissing your sister, then a three-way tie is, what, seeing your uncle in the shower?
Congrats to our three winners: Joe Somebody, 10591, and Low Single. May your screen names live forever in Takedowns lore.
As promised, each of you get to write a guest blog post. It can be a preview of states, an angry list of grievances against the Coast Guard for denying your application, or anything else you want to talk about. Send your post to jtthomas@lohud.com and I’ll put it up on the blog right away. Tell me if you want your real name used or not.

after the season we should have a contest for the march madness rackets…..yeah wrestlers hate baketball but its a fun thing to do.
Wow! Walked away from this blog for a few days after a long season and what do I see. I’ll have to think about what my blog post will be. I’ll be up in Albany tomorrow for the entire second day. Perhaps I’ll post a wrap-up to the state tournament or something.
