Merry March Madness!
As the media industry grows and outlets for voicing opinions for the common sports fan continue to expand, it seems that today everyone seems to be an expert on sports. Everyone gets to predict weekly football games, list their own personal power rankings, or develop their own play-off scenarios. There is a problem with this that Im continuing to find. Lots of times it is just regurgitated information already supplied from major sports news experts. I am not here to say what is right and wrong in sports writing but at times I feel it lacks originality.
Wrestling’s Smith and Hostetter compete in finals
The Millersville Marauders wrestling team sent two representatives to the national finals this year after sending three just a year ago. The Marauders almost topped that number this year in the 2010 East Regionals after having four members wrestle in the championship matches.
However, senior Jarrett Hostetter and redshirt sophomore Shane Smith were the only Marauders to win their matches in the final round to advance to national tournament. It was the third time in Hostetter’s career that he advanced to nationals and the second time in two years for Smith.
Wrestling team anticipates NCAA East Regionals
The Millersville wrestling team is set to host the NCAA East Regionals Saturday, and hopes to salvage a little bit joy out of what has been a disappointing season. Campbell University, Duquesne University, Liberty University, and Gardener-Webb University will meet the Marauders at Pucillo gymnasium as wrestlers from each school will compete for a spot in the NCAA Championships. The top two wrestlers in each weight class will travel to Omaha, Nebraska to compete for their chance to become national champions beginning March 18.

Wrestling faces a string of tough losses
Senior wrestler Jarrett Hostetter notched his 97th career win on Saturday as he inched towards 100 victories in his tenure at Millersville University. While it was a good for Hostetter as an individual, the team’s string of losses in dual meets continued as they dropped both matches in the tri-meet against Army and Sacred Heart University.
Wrestling team falls again: Injuries force wrestlers to forfeit

Men’s basketball triumphs over Bloomsburg Huskies in OT game: Win pivotal for struggling team
Millersville men’s basketball head coach Fred Thompson posted his 200th career victory on Saturday as the Marauders defeated the Bloomsburg Huskies in dramatic fashion. For the third time this season, Millersville found themselves needing extra minutes to decide the outcome of a game as they won in overtime 61-57.
Men’s wrestling team struggles to overcome numerous injuries
Once again the Millersville wrestling team is battling the injury bug. Injuries have plagued the wrestling team over the last couple of years and it is partly responsible for the team’s 3-8-1 record thus far this year. At least five of the team’s regulars have missed time this season, and most recently injuries played a crucial role in the losses of their last two matches.
Sports in American culture
Football is America’s favorite sport and the Super Bowl is fast approaching. I figure there is no better time than now to discuss something that has slowly been changing my opinion of professional and college football that is broadcast to national and local audiences.
