John Jay Pins Scarsdale 58-22
On Tuesday December 12, John Jay hosted Scarsdale, and first to take the mat for the Wolves was Emerson Flamm. He faced Luke Iasiello, and the Scarlett Knight muscled his way to a 10-1 lead. Then suddenly Flamm scored a reversal and two near falls to pull within one, and the subdued crowd switched gears. Iasiello did recover to a 17-12 victory, and the rosters playing out, there wasn’t nearly as much drama the rest of the way.

Uncovering the Mirror Inside. Content Warning.
In the fierce story of my life, the repetitive topic revolves around a harmful quality that arises like a tempest after each troublesome communication with companions and partners. The obvious truth is that I'm an overthinker, a quality that sticks to me like a persistent shadow. Notwithstanding, in the midst of this mindfulness, a passionate longing to change myself flashes, an unfaltering assurance to rediscover the peacefulness that appears to get away despite misfortune.

Bitter Symphony: The Discordant Harmony of an Awfulness
In reality as we know it where sympathy frequently entwines with misfortune, I once left on an excursion energized by the craving to protect an outsider from the grip of torture. Much to my dismay, this unselfish signal would unfurl into a frightful story of misdirection and deplorability.

Avalanche Game 37 Recap: Ending 2023 in Style

But it would also be a year that the Avalanche would begin the process of dusting ourselves off, and try, try again.

No Mercy (NFC Week 18)
Are you ready for some chaos?! The National Football Conference's playoff picture is still insane entering the final week of the season. How crazy is it?

While only half of the AFC's games are playoff relevant, seven of the NFC's games are highly important. A lot of teams are looking to get either a division title, or that last Wild Card spot. Overall, only two playoff spots are left in the NFC, but it's a stacked card for those spots.
