North Baltimore has always "travelled well" with their sports teams. The same certainly will be said for the fans that turned out in Columbus to support Dalton Ishmael in the OHSAA Wrestling Tournament.

While it will have to be said, that there were a bunch of Gerdemans following Dalton, there were many just plan old NB-supporters making the trip down to the Capitol City.

Here is just a sampling of the many, many photos that were snapped, the two and a half days at the Schott. This grouping is from our friend...

It's like there was a whole section reserved for the grandparents


Several others (including mama Ishmael) were able join these three yay-whos in what were basically "Ring-side Seats"


Milling around, just outside Section 131, the "meeting area" for most of the NB fans.
