I am a salem wrestler from 1975-1978. I would like to tell you how much I appreciate the way you guys cover our wrestling (district regional and state) keep up the good work and I hope the rest of the area enjoys your work as much as I do. I am taking salem on a long shot, but if they can’t pull it off GO DEMONS!!!!!
