We may think it's cute to just say "mahaca," pronounced phonetically. I think it's odd. The name ought to be helpful in understanding where this team comes from, seriously. The Saturday meet should be named for the town where it was held, rather than having a strung-out list of town names. I'm surprised this practice has lasted as long as it has.
"Towns" and their names don't have the significance in our society that they once did, not in our highly mobile, interconnected world.
West Central was the top team in the Saturday wrestling affair. "United" was second. We should all be so lucky as to be "united." The Tigers were eighth among the eleven teams.
