Updated Rankings; Huge Matches This Week

With a relatively quiet week of wrestling, the Section 9 Wrestling rankings did not change much….definitely not the case this week!!!  Below is a printer friendy version of the entire slate of action in Section 9 this week.  One of the marquee matches occurs on Wednesday when Warwick travels to Monroe Woodbury to take on the Crusaders.   Monroe would like to avenge its early season one-point loss to Warwick when the two teams met in the finals of the Section 9 Duals.  The other highly anticipated match is Friday’s showdown between Minisink Valley and Warwick.  Year after year, this dual meet proves to be one of the most intense and hotly-contested matches of the season.  This year should prove to be no different.  Monroe Woodbury, Warwick, and Minisink Valley are all ranked in the top 20 in New York State.

The Amazing Recovery of Aaron Paddock

Aaron (l) and Burke Paddock

Last year, as a 7th grader, Warsaw’s Aaron Paddock compiled a 50-5 record and placed 6th at the NYS Championships.  This year, Aaron has not stepped onto the mat.  Back in August, he and some family members were cutting down trees on their property when a 14lb. branch fell 50 feet and struck Aaron in the head.  Click on the link below for a wonderful story about how perseverence, a loving family, and the wrestling mentality have contributed to this young man’s amazing recovery.
