Beyond the mat

Joe gets checked for cold sores, Corey waits to weigh in on the "cold" Palace floor, Joe shaves at home this morning, and later holds up Coach Rossi at dinner in Embassy Suites. Feel free to write your own captions.

Joe and Jo

I'm blogging from a couch at the home of Joe Krantz, who heads to The Palace of Auburn Hills tomorrow with Meridian High teammates Dakota Talbot and Corey Cordero to compete in the individual state wrestling finals. Here, Joe checks out Michigan Grappler, which has previewed the weight classes in each of the MHSAA's four divisions, with his mother Jo Ella at their home in the village of Sanford this evening.
