When Nathan DeBaillie was a teacher at Erie High School, he created the design for the gym floor.
Since Erie is a member of the Three Rivers Conference, the school considered putting TRAC-8 on the floor.
But they decided not to, and it was a good thing, too.
The conference has added Kewanee, and, starting in 2013, will add Orion and five other schools. These additions give the former TRAC-8 a total of 15 members.
Snowy weather won the first evening of the Bob Mitton Orion Invitational Tournament on Friday, Jan. 21.
Although the Orion area had less than an inch of snow, northern Illinois received much more.
All of the rounds were wrestled on Saturday, Jan. 22.
Seven Orion wrestlers medaled.
