Yeah, that Bob is a funny guy alright. Wrestling is still a good program in Granite City. However, no one who follows that sport will tell you it's the major player it was back when Red Schmidt and Walt Whitaker coached. It hasn't been the same since. That's not necessarily reflection of today's coaches. It's just that other schools now have the same kid club programs that Granite alone had back then. The same goes for soccer. What always has bothered me is that we can't ever seem to field a consistent team in any sport. Short of a few playoff appearances in football in recent years there hasn't been much to offer. In any event, high school isn't just about sports. It's more important that these kids get a good education and a start on life. Sports are fun and they're a great addition to any high school. Just don't lose sight of the main goal kids.
