The tournament finals sell out, and individuals and teams carve their names on the sports history tree each year. Some champions were deaf, some were amputees, but all earn the respect of thousands for their work ethica hallmark of the states populace. Is this heaven? No, its better than that. Its high school wrestling in Iowa!
