Congratulations to El Dorado’s Sharnesia Tate for winning the 5A state wrestling title at 235 pounds and to Maddie Aguiluz, Katelyn Hayden and Destinee Smith for taking 3rd place at 100, 120 and 130 pounds respectively.

No one asked but I have a suggestion for the Arkansas Activities Association. I think they should have someone in charge of legal transfers. Any student-athlete who transfers schools during the school year, cannot compete until they are declared eligible by the AAA. Have someone at AAA in charge who works with the high school counselors to determine eligibility. Until the AAA office certifies the student-athlete as eligible, they must sit.

If one more person asks me about my podcast, that would make four in the past several months. I had no idea it drew so much interest. Maybe I'll restart it.

For those dumping on the Liberty Bowl, any bowl is a good bowl for the Razorbacks, right now. Not qualifying for a bowl this season would've been a disaster for Coach Pittman's program. Keeping Odom on staff would be nice. Don't care about Briles. And, getting some defensive speed in the portal would be key since most of the high school athletes have already been scooped up. Beat Kansas.

Last week I watched as El Dorado's volleyball team took their pictures with Elizabeth Haynes of Southern Sass. I wanted to do an interview but, of course, the batteries in my tape recorder were dead. So, I hung around and chatted with some of the players.
Mallory Whitten, Daisy Tabe and I discovered a common bond. We've all had knee surgery. Tabe as a junior high athlete at West Side Christian and Whitten last year. We talked about how we got hurt and compared surgical scars. Suddenly, Davin James chimed in with, "sometimes my ankle hurts."
As we stared at her, she added, "I didn't want to be left out."
Sorry Davin, the Busted Knee Club is not one of which you'd want to be a member, especially if you're one of the state's top returning high jumpers.
Anyway, I enjoyed meeting the volleyball players. They certainly have personality. I can't wait to watch them kick butt this season.

Union County lost a great ambassador for youth sports last week with the passing of Randy Ross. Randy is the blood, sweat and tears behind the Union County Sports Hall of Fame. That is all him. He had the idea, actually talked to me about it over dinner. He put in countless hours of research to put that together. He was a walking encyclopedia when it came to sports in this area. He could talk for hours, and often did with me, about local athletes from the 30s, 40s and 50s. I'm going to miss those talks.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Maddie Aguiluz
Maddie Aguiluz

In Monday’s newspaper is a feature on El Dorado wrestler Maddie Aguiluz. The headline I chose referred to the sophomore as “Mad Dog Maddie.” For the record, her nickname isn’t Mad Dog. No one calls her Mad Dog. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t answer if you called her Mad Dog. After I wrote the story, I had the brilliant idea of assigning her a wrestling nickname just so I could use it in a headline. After all, great fighters have a nickname - Rowdy Ronda Rousey, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Iron Mike Tyson, etc. As one might imagine, Maddie was skeptical. Here’s our series of texts: Me: Maddie, what would your wrestling nickname be? It should be something small and dangerous. Maddie: I’m not sure. What do you think? Me: The Poison Dart Frog, Rabid Chihuahua, The Mosquito, Little Big Mama, Baby Anaconda? After several minutes of deafening no response … Me: Ask your parents what they think. Maddie: I will ask them. A few minutes later … Maddie: Maddie Mad Dog Aguiluz, that’s what my mom says. Me: You like it? Maddie: That or Savage Queen. I don’t have a preference. You pick. O.K. Personally, I liked Rabid Chihuahua but I can certainly see the appeal of Mad Dog Maddie. No idea what Savage Queen means. I guess that’s a teen thing or some Tik Tok craze. As you could tell by the series of texts, Maddie really wanted no part of any of it. In all seriousness, I watched high school wrestling for the first time last week at Wildcat Arena. I hope it won’t be my last time. It was fun and very intense. I’m a big fan of Mad Dog and Dunte Maker and all of their teammates. I can hardly wait to see how far they advance in the state tournament.
