Wrestling is an individualist sport. I'd suggest if you want to stress team effort, play basketball or football or baseball or even team table tennis.

If wrestling is an individualist sport how did the team win the tournament? Also you have to have someone to practice with. A wrestler is only as good as the people they practice with. I suggest if you don't like wrestling keep your comments to yourself BOB.

The Dorchester wrestling team totally outclassed all of the other teams in the tournament last night. They finished first, beating second place Friend by more than 50 points. I can't think of any of the varsity wrestlers that did not place. They really have a great pair of new coaches. I am proud of the boys. Off the top of my head, at 119 Jeremy Inderlied got 1st, at 125 Brandon Schwishow got 2nd, at 130 Alec Lisec got 4th, at 135 Jake Hedden got 2nd,at 140 Jared Jensen got 2nd and Brandon Stilwagon got 4th at 145 Adam Kahle got 1st, at 152 Jordan Inderlied got 1st, at 167 Dave Hostetler got 2nd, at 189 Russ Barak got 1st and at 285 Travis Luzum got 2nd.

Wrestlers do wrestle as an individual but it is still considered a team sport as all points from the wrestlers count for a team score. Wrestlers workout with their teammates and cheer them on at meets, sounds like a team sport to me.

A Village with History

Dorchester is one of the "alphabet towns" on the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad line built west from Lincoln. The town site was selected for its pleasant location in the northern part of Saline County, about eight miles west of Crete. This situation is an attractive one, being on the level prairie land, midway between the West Blue River and Turkey Creek. The first named stream is three miles north, and the latter about the same distance south from the town. Dorchester was platted in 1870 and incorporated in 1881. The name "Dorchester" came from either for a suburb of Boston by that name or a town in England. No one is sure. Two of the very first settlers were James Seely and Edward McIntyre, who both made Dorchester their permanent home.

Dorchester: In The Beginning

Here is a look at Dorchester around 1890, less than a decade after its official incorporation, as documented by Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska:
* POPULATION: "About 300, and is made up of a substantial and progressive class of citizens, who are moral and industrious. ... The town grew but very little until the year 1879, for the reason that Pleasant Hill, on Turkey Creek, a short distance south, was the county seat and naturally drew a trade for quite a large scope of country."
* BUSINESS: "The business and professional interests of the town are represented by three general merchandise stores, two drug, one grocery, one furniture, two hardware, and two millinery stores, one bank, two restaurants, two hotels, three livery stables, a post office, one newspaper office, two elevators, two lumber yards, two coal yards, two blacksmith shops, two lawyers and four physicians."
* SCHOOL: "The schoolhouse is a good one. The schoolhouse was built in 1872, since which time the public schools have been continually kept up. The present schoolhouse is 24' x 40' in size, two stories high. The school is graded and consists of three departments. The house is found too small, and arrangements will soon be made to increase its size."
* CHURCHES: "There are three substantial churches."
* HOMES: "The residence portion of the village is made up of neat houses of different styles of architecture, but none of them very large."
* NEWSPAPER: "The Dorchester Star, which was established August 21, 1881, by H. C. Bittenbender, who edited it until January 19, 1882, when he sold it to Ryerson & Bullock, the present proprietors. The Star is a bright weekly paper, five-column quarto, in size, and is Republican in politics."
