    22 years ago today, I walked into the Bedford office at Record Publishing Co. 22 years, 5 offices, 3 different owners, thousands of games later... I'm still doing what I love. Thanks to every athlete, coach, AD and colleague of mine. And no, I'm not anywhere close to done :)

    HUGE OVATION for @wrestlingbucks's Kyle Snyder, the 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist as he comes on the mat. I got to shake his hand. It was cool

    It figures. In their final high school matches, @CVCAWrestling's Decatur twins win by identical 3-1 scores. They become the first twin brothers to win 3 straight titles together in @OHSAASports history. State titles No 23 and 24 for CVCA, moving them into tie for 13th all time
