to get that belt from me, but he can’tdoit.” Costello will get another chance. This time, it will be at the Milford Junior High School gym. The event starts at 8 p.m., but other matches are slated as well. This bout is tabbed as “The Main Event.” “Everyone wants the belt,” said Golden. “The belt means nothing to me,” answered Costello. “I just want to hurt him badly.”

Sounds like these two heavyweights mean business. They will tend to it any way possible. Be prepared, fans. “The last time I wrestled Costello, I proved to everyone that he was a whimp,” boasted the mat king, who is affiliated with the International Wrestling Organization. “He was actually screaming for his mommy. He was going, ‘Mommy, mommy, please help me. Please, please help me?” What strategy will Costello use? “I’ll win any way I can,” he said. “I’ll throw chairs, whatever it takes.” “I’ll match you object for object,” Golden responded. “Remember, I had your mommy on her knees.” A native of Plymouth, Golden has been in the professional wrestling circuit for 15 years. Costello, from Mishawaka, has wrestled four years. “I brought Costello into all of this,” said Golden. “And he’s been after my belt, chasing me all over the place. But he’s wasting his time.” “I’ll do my talking in the ring,” promised Costello. Golden, a crafty old veteran of the ring, claims nation and worldwide wrestling exposure. He has been on television many times, including Channel 55 of Fort Wayne. “Golden’s overweight. Look at him,” said Costello. “He talks big, then runs and hides from me.” “Yeah, I don’t work out, but I can still beat you,” answered Golden. “Costello thinks he’s real tough because he works out and sweats a lot. One time, he lifted 12 pounds. I was real proud of him.” “I have no comment to that,” said Costello. “I’ll just bust him up.” Both have their favorite techniques. Golden uses the backbreaker. “I love using it,” he said. “Especially while I’m looking at his face, which is in immense pain. I like to listen to bones crack.” Costello uses the figure four leg lock. “The Rebel” vs. “The Terrible Termite” John “The Rebel” McCarty, who is slated for a match against Dale “The Terrible Termite” Bolinger, had some words for his opponent. “If ‘The Terrible Termite’ is so terrible, why didn’t he show up for this interview,” asked “The Rebel.” “That shows how tough he is. I’m going to tear him up.” However, “The Terrible Termite” did issue a written statement about the upcoming tilt. It said: “I would like to take the opportunity to thank my tag team partner, Sgt. Bobby Golden. He has helped me into the pro wrestling circuit. With his guidance, I have learned how to survive. With my ability, I will learn how to conquer. I am sure the people of the Milford Community will not be disappointed when the Terrible Termite steps back in the ring to dismantle the Rebel; and may the South learn. The North will be triumphant again. I hope (Milford Marshal David) Hobbs is up to the task of controlling this battle.” “I hope Hobbs has a big enough stretcher to carry Costello away,” added Golden. “He’s going to need it after I get done with that slob.”

Nemeth's 71 paces Wawasee golfers to second in NLC

HUNTINGTON - Rudy Cesco called it a “super team effort.” The Wawasee golf coach also called it steady improvement as the Warriors turned in an outstanding performance at the Northern Lakes Conference meet, finishing second with 311 strokes last Saturday. “We can consider Saturday as 4 win,” said Cesco. “We had a heckuva score.” Rochester took honors with a 293. which set a conference record. The Zebras were led by Chris Smith, last year’s low medalist at the stale meet. He burned up the 18-hole course with a 69 and earned NLC low medalist honors. y John Nemeth nearly matched Smith stroke for stroke, completing the course with a 71. “Nearly every week, Nemeth had to go head-to-head with Smith,” added Cesco. “And he responded so well.” Nemeth was second low medalist. He was consistent throughout the day, shooting a 35 in the front nine and adding a 36 in the back nine. Dave O’Neal was solid with 79 strokes, including a torrid 35 in the front nine. Derek Smith and Darin Atwood followed with an 80 and an 81, respectively. Senior Jeff

Taylor rounded out the field with 84 strokes. Other team scores were: Warsaw 326, Concord 339, Goshen 341, North Wood 343, Plymouth 353 and Bremen 370. “The team worked hard, improved and you can’t ask anything more out of them,” said Cesco. Sectional At Churubusco “It’s going to be a shootout,” said Cesco, who was referring to the upcoming sectional at the Eel River Golf Course in Churubusco. “We would love to win it, but our primary goal is to get through it and qualify for regionals.” Cesco sees four outstanding teams battling it out for the three spots. They are: Churubusco, Columbia City, Warsaw and Wawasee. Tee-off is at 9 a.m. In all, 16 teams will compete and the top three will advance to regionals, which will be held at LaPorte. “That regional will be the cream of northern Indiana,” said Cesco. Nip Elkhart Central Wawasee ended the regular season last Wednesday by beating Elkhart Central, 158-162 in a nine-hole match at the South Shore Golf Course. Nemeth shot a 37 to lead the Warriors. Atwood followed with a 39.

Smith, O’Neal and Tim Keim added respective scores of 40, 42 and 46 The win upped the Warriors final record to 11-7. AU-NLC Performers Nemeth was named to the NLC’s first team, resulting from his great efforts in recent weeks. Smith made the second team while Atwood and O’Neal were honorable mention picks. All will be back next year. “We should have quite a season next year,” said Cesco.
