From the Desk of Coach Lancaster
The engines are rumbling, the anchor's up, and we're charging full speed into what looks like a good year. Both the men's and women's squads have been sharpening steel against steel, and the early returns say one thing loud and clear: this team came to scrap.
This issue's a full plate — men's and women's previews, combined team results, and a blow-by-blow of our signature chaos carnival, the Shipyard Slam. Picture a wrestling meet on the deck of a WWII ship, surrounded by steel bulkheads and Lake Michigan wind. It's loud, gritty, and just a little unhinged — the way wrestling's supposed to be. Our crew showed up, wrestled their hearts out, and proved that grit still beats polish.
The women's team? Relentless. Every day, they're tightening the screws, finding their rhythm, and turning into a legitimate problem for anyone across from them. The men's team looks hungry — a mix of veterans who've been through the fire and rookies who haven't yet realized how crazy you have to be to love this sport. Together, they're starting to look less like two teams and more like one wave — heavy, fast, and gaining momentum.
Big thanks to everyone who keeps this ship afloat — the parents, alumni, fans, and fellow weirdos who believe wrestling on a 75-year-old warship is a reasonable way to spend a weekend.
Stay Anchored,
Coach Lancaster
