Stratford has been down a bit the last few years, but they still usually have several solid kids. They have always had a very deep youth club. Unfortunately for them, they just don't seem to do a whole lot once they get into high school lately.
I think Hanahan probably matched up well with Fort D in their strong weights. I think difference would have been that Fort D, despite having a bit of a rebuilding year, can still field a solid kid at just about every weight. That is the difference between a good 4a program and a good 2a program. The bodies. Most 2a teams have to fill at least a weight or two. doubt Fort D does.
Anyways, a shame the dual didn't happen. It would have been a good litmus test for the Hawks. It is easy for a good team to get complacent if they are not challenged.
Oh, and BE (the Bishops) was just a few points behind Chesterfield at the Slam...What does that mean? And sophmore and 2nd year wrestler David Sottile pinned Maltby from Chesterfield there. Nice win.
