Mount St. Joseph (17-4) is at No. 12 John Carroll (21-10) tonight in wrestling but the Patriots’ coach Keith Watson isn’t talking about home-gym advantage. His team, he said has been felled by illness and injury this season and will probably not be at full strength.

“But even if we were there is no way we’d beat Mount St. Joe this season,” he said. “And McDonogh isn’t going to beat them Friday night either. “

Watson agrees No. 1 McDonogh has five strong seniors, but said he believes No. 2 Mount St. Joe has more strength at more positions.

“The score will probably be something like a 10 point difference,” Watson said of the Gaels’ – Eagles match. “St. Joe will win and it will be the best $3 dollars you pay for a wrestling match this season.”
