A lot to like about Card wrestlers’ winning start
Believe it or not, Willmar wrestling is good again. I know, stunning stuff. They are off to a powerful start, worthy of their No. 5 ranking by The Guillotine, and maybe deserving of an even higher ranking, but hey, I don’t get a vote. The Cardinals have won both of the individual tournaments they’ve participated in and also politely dominated in their lone dual of the season so far, a 63-6 win over Rocori.
There’s no doubt the road will get tougher in the quest for a seventh-straight trip to the Class AAA state tournament, but there’s still plenty to take from Willmar’s winning start. Continue reading at www.wctrib.com
Family, Farming and Wrestling – The Carlson Legacy in Willmar
By Brian Jerzak
Family and wrestling go together like ice cream and apple pie. All across the state of Minnesota, the wrestling landscape is littered with families steeped in wrestling history. The Short family, the Morgan family, the Thorn and the Ness families, just to name a few, have produced multiple high-level wrestlers. They are families that get the sport of wrestling in their blood, and it never gets out.
The connection between wrestling and family is similar to the connection between family and farming. Generations of families work family farms. Often the home and farm are passed down from one generation to the next. Once farming gets in a family's blood, like wrestling, it is hard to get it out.
Few families in Minnesota encapsulate the strong bond between family, farming and wrestling more than the Carlson family from Willmar.
"Our dad (Curtney) wrestled for Willmar back in the 1950's," Chad Carlson said, "and graduated from Willmar High School in 1957. He got us started in it. It wasn't like he was pushing us one way or the other, but I think he thought it would be a good thing to get us into."
