Anticlimactic night

Ah well. In this business we usually root for the great stories: The athlete who overcame adversity to triumph, the buzzer-beating shot to cap a great performance, the coach who's mad at the officials. But you know what? Sometimes it just doesn't happen.

Wednesday is Ladies Night here at SHZ, and I was hoping to spotlight a Frontier wrestler named Alex Gomez. Yeah, a wrestler on Ladies Night. That's because Alex is the No. 10-ranked female wrestler at 103 pounds in the country. She's a freshman and hasn't lost in duals this season. So I was hoping she would come up with an impressive performance tonight against Stockdale to make it look like I knew what I was talking about. Well, she didn't even wrestle. Accepted a forfeit from the Mustangs. Oh well. Alex is a great story going forward anyway. You don't see too many girls wrestling in the high school ranks, and it's great to see a very successful one.

Looking forward to tomorrow's boys basketball game between Ridgeview and Stockdale that's for the Southwest Yosemite League lead. Ridgeview has been playing without two key sophomores for most of the month — and has won five in a row. Stockdale went 8-18 last year and is two big wins away — this one and later at Centennial — from likely making an unbeaten run through the rock-solid SWYL. Should be fun. Maybe I'll even get a great story out of it.
