Especially when they are the size of Napolean, look no further than McCleary here. He's the main component to building his program his wrestlers of years past still help the youth wrestlers, do you see that often amongst your area wrestlers? I know we dont, plain and simple dedication is what it takes and a lot can be said of Napoleans wrestlers. Congrats to them all for helping the young guys out...

Most of these wrestlers have had brothers, uncles or fathers that were part of past NHS teams. Recruiting? Hardly! Was there a protest submitted by Watford City in 1997? Yes---it did not just "disappear"---an investigation was held by NDHSAA and Napoleon was CLEARED of any wrongdoing. If you have any questions about it, I'm sure someone at ndhsaa.com would be happy to help you.
In the mean time, why don't we try to give credit to a program that has put a positive face on wrestling for many years, not just the last six. Napoleon has a fine tradition of wrestling for many reasons. The front runners are talented, hard working athletes, a terrific coaching staff that sees them from kindergarten through graduation both inseason and out, supportive families, and a community that loves wrestling.
Good luck to ALL wrestlers on their 2007-2008 season. I've enjoyed ND wrestling for 29 years, and I know this year will not disappoint me either.
