The Pinning Combination podcast is back from the holiday break, talking all things wrestling in Iowa with Hall of Fame coach Dick Briggs.

First, a look back at the inaugural Soldier Salute at Xtream Arena — what we learned about the Iowa men and women and what the future of the event looks like. Plus, takeaways from the Southern Scuffle and a look at this week’s college duals.

Then it’s time to hand out our midseason Gazette-area high school awards — MVP, coach of the year and team of the year — and preview the duals and tournaments to watch during the first week of January.

Watch the full show on YouTube. You can also listen to the college and high school segments on the On Iowa Sports and Iowa Prep Sports podcast networks.
