It appears St. Edward’s wrestling team is ready for the gauntlet of its dual meet schedule. With nationally top-ranked Blair Academy (N.J.), No. 7 St. Paris Graham, No. 3 St. John’s (Mich.) and No. 15 Detroit Catholic Central (Mich.) all on their schedule the next three weeks, the Eagles served notice on Sunday they’re not...

George Bergman has seen some of the best wrestlers this area has known come and go through his Oak Harbor program over the years. J.D. Bergman, Cody Magrum, Keith Witt and Kirk Tank are only a few. But he’s never quite had a wrestler like Ian Miller — and he may not again. “Ian’s talent...
Walsh Jesuit senior Johnni DiJulius (No. 8 @ 130) is a dreamer and an achiever. “I don’t think it’s unrealistic, and maybe it is to the world, but I want to be an Olympic champion as many times as I can,” he said. DiJulius added that he didn’t become a three-time state champion by happenstance....
