There were basically two stories over the last couple of weeks that stood out the most to me. Well, three if you count the two-part Gap Shots and Whiffs series about the change in the wind for the area conferences.

The first one was writing the "meet the new coach" story at Minooka Community High School with Jeff Charlebois taking over for Paige Schoolman one year after Schoolman replaced Bernie Ruettiger. Charlebois is not "new" to the Indians staff by any means as he was instrumental in the rise of Minooka as a state wrestling power before leaving for Oswego to become the head coach of the Panthers a couple of years ago.

The one constant there is the fact that Ruettiger never did retire or anything. He just stepped down to become an assistant, first to Schoolman and now to Charlebois. A lot was made by everyone, including Schoolman, about what it means to have Charlebois back in the program.
