Switching to winter sports

By Brian Hillabush

 The fall season has been coming to a close in recent weeks, and many of our local teams did very well. Le Roy footbal is, of course, still going and will be playing in the Far West Regionals on Saturday.

Starting next week, we will be featuring previews of some area squads and am hoping to give tons of quality, in-depth coverage of our winter teams.

The first thing I want to post in is the preseason state wrestling rankings. Thanks to a tip (please feel free to email me at brian (at) thebatavian (dot) com), I see that we have some local wrestlers that are ranked high in the state in the preseason poll.

Warsaw's Ian Paddock is the top-ranked wrestler at 130 pounds and teammate Zac Griffith is third at 171 pounds.

Holley's Quenton Murphy is second-ranked at 112 pounds and Letchworth's Mike Nevinger is top-ranked at 140.

Batavia's Ryan Darch is the No. 5 seeded grappler at 160 pounds.

We are always looking for tips, story ideas and blog contributions. Please send me an email any time, or register and share stories of what happens with your teams during the season.
