Just a couple notes ahead of the IHSAA Wrestling Semi-state at Fort Wayne this Saturday.
Start time for the semi-state is 8:30 a.m. at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Tickets are $12 per person and can be purchased at the coliseum gates.
Our three West Noble wrestlers - Leon Bontrager, Gavin Christman and Brogan Parks - will compete in the opening round and need to win two matches to advance to the IHSAA State Finals. A loss before those two wins eliminates each competitor.

It was a Royal morning to be a King or Queen at West Noble Primary.
The royals rode their chariots to Burger King and Dairy Queen to feast on the finest meats and cheeses in all the Ligonier. The Kings of course at Burger King, the Queens at Dairy Queen, as part of the annual celebration for Royal Day at the Primary.
As always, we send our deepest sentiment to the management and employees at both establishments for not only hosting our royal subjects, but serving with a smile, and with punctuality!
A royal feast, indeed!

West Noble Primary celebrated its student leadership with its appropriately named Little Leaders Awards. Highlighting students who exhibit excellence in one of the school's 'color spots' that cover a character or leadership principle, teachers in both kindergarten and first grade were able to let everyone know who is doing the right thing inside and outside the classroom.
Well done to all the award winners. Keep up the good work!

The first stage of the IHSAA Wrestling state tournament is now in the books, and West Noble will have a lot of hands on deck next week.
The Chargers had a sectional champion in 190-pound sophomore Brogan Parks, who rode the top seed in the bracket with a pair of pins to make the final. And in dominant fashion in the championship match against Angola's Owen Shull, Parks was a complete control in a 16-0 tech fall to claim the posterboard.
Both Gavin Christman (138) and Joe Button (144) were both runner-ups, Leon Bontrager (113) was third, and Korbin Rassner (126) worked his way to fourth place to round out the automatic qualifiers for next week's Goshen Regional.
Peyton Franklin (175) and Eduardo Rodriguez (215) were both fifth place and are set as alternates awaiting a call to see their seasons continue.
Congrats to Parks and all the Chargers on their sectional success, and good luck at the regional next Saturday!
