Well, this is actually the 3rd rematch, but hey, who is counting. This one should be good. They will be wrestling freestyle, which makes it even more exciting. Caldwell is coming back from shoulder surgery, that put him out for the 2009-2010 season. Hopefully he is fully healed. If not, I doubt this will be much of a match.
It is on an aircraft carrier called the U.S.S Intrepid. Yes, you read that correctly, an aircraft carrier. The event is a fundraiser for Beat the Streets Wrestling, inc, “a program that provides wrestling opportunities for thousands of middle school and high school students in New York City.”
Metcalf vs Caldwell will be the main event of a seven match line-up, including names like Palmer, Herbert, Askren, and many more. Oh yeah, and Royce Alger will be providing entertainment. That will be interesting.

University of Minnesota freshman wrestler and former Olympian, Jake Deitchler has been ruled ineligible by the NCAA for the 2009-10 academic year. He will lose a year of eligibility.
The story on Intermat quotes J Robinson discussing a similar situation where the student athlete received MORE money, and was only suspended for 2-weeks and made to pay back that money. I am not sure why the NCAA has given Deitchler such a harsh punishment. It seems a little unfair.

For those of you who followed the life of Adam Frey for the last couple years, I have some sad news. Adam lost his 21-month battle with cancer. He was 23 years old. I have followed his story since watching him win the senior nationals in 2005. He fought hard, keeping a blog of his struggle at http://adamfrey.us.
The Lehigh Valley Sports wrote a great article with a lot of information and links about Adam, including this one from Sports Illustrated.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Please visit his website when you get a chance.

Pope High School, located in Marietta, Georgia, locked up the 2009 McCallie Invitational title with a total of 285 points, more than 85 points more than the second place team, Father Ryan, who finished a strong tournament with 197 points.
Some other teams, along with Pope, brought in some out of state talent. At 140, Ryan Maus from Kennesaw High School first majored 2x State Champion Stuart Doster of Baylor in the semis, then went on to beat State Champion Michael Hooker from McCallie 6-1 in the finals. 3x Champ TJ Duncan from McCallie fought off numerous takedown attempts by Kennesaw’s other finalist Johnathan Rivera to pull off a 3-2 win at 152.
