Congrats to City of Champions 2018
I’ve always lived at least 40 miles North of Philly, and being a country boy, I never enjoyed driving down there & worst yet driving in Philly (Like any large city).
However I gotta say the Sports programs seam to keep getting better, and I figure the following Congrats are well deserved:
This is the first time ever that both the Super Bowl Champions and the NCAA National Basketball Champs have been from the same City.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, by beating New England with their Backup Quarterback at the helm all the way through the playoffs & in the Super Bowl.
This was their first World Championship since 1960 (before there even was a Super Bowl).
The Villanova Wildcats made it rain 3 pointers on their way to another NCAA Championship. This is their second NCAA Championship in 3 years.
They went all the way through the Tournament winning every game by Double Digits.
So Congrats to Philly, and to the Eagles & Wildcats on their 2018 Championships!!!
Also another Congrats to another Pennsylvania team is due:
The Penn State Wrestling Team also won the National NCAA Championship.
That’s 7 NCAA Team Championships out of the last 8 years.
That includes “Zain Retherford” who as a 4 time All-American has just won his 3rd NCAA Championship, and has continued his Winning Streak.
Zain has won 94 consecutive wrestling matches, and has not lost since his Freshman year. (Career record 126 wins—3 losses)
Zain was one of four Penn State Grapplers to win the National Championship in 2018.
So Congrats to the Penn State Wrestlers on another Outstanding National Championship!
