    I know I have posted this before, but speaking of brothers . . .

    For many years, at least one of the Worth brothers was a starter for the Waterford High School wrestling team.

    The year after the youngest graduated, I was doing the preview and the coach got to use the line he had been saving and saving.

    "Well, I know we're gonna be Worth-less this year."

    Two wrestling teams I covered last year had identical twins. Talk about some fun times.

    At least it didn't happen at an American Legion game. Those fellas do NOT take to interruptions of the national anthem kindly. Heard a story about a player who fainted during the anthem, and when his teammates helped him up, the Legion people got all pissy because the anthem was still playing. Not sure how much weight I put into that story, not being there myself, but I can say with certainty that they put a lot of weight on the minute of anthem playing.
