Hello all y'all ... yes I am still alive ... the Fargo jail is a nice place to visit!

Jike Muby (did I do that right Prant?) reports that the temperature yesterday in Fargo was 3 degrees hotter than that in Hutchinson. It's been a bit rough sleeping (no a/c) but I'm surviving. Actually we did get a brief shower this morning to cool things off but I hope that it doesn't make it steamy later!

As reported, 3 Cadets have made it into the Greco finals. Jeff Vesta has earned the right to face Ryan Mango from Missouri. This will prove to be quite the challenge for Jeff but he is up for it.

Romero Cotton will match against Nate Schiedel from New York. Shiedel will enter the contest already having one loss on his resume and if all goes according to plan he'll pick up his 2nd loss about 4:30 this afternoon!

Atticus Disney meets Tyrell Fortune from Oregon. Fortune's accolades have already been documented and Atticus will have to tough match. But to paraphrase a bit of Jimmy Duggan, "hard, is suppose to be hard ... if it wasn't hard, everyone would do it!"

And, it's not all about our finalists, our other All-Americans have done us proud! Tyler Koehn, Cameron Riojas, Bobby Doxon and Stephen Andrus.
