The Nathan Potter Heart Award honors Bay wrestlers who show the same grit and persistence as Potter, who was murdered in 2009.
Whitefish Bay alum Nathan Potter may be gone, but his legend lives on in the heart of Whitefish Bay wrestlers. Potter, who was murdered in Milwaukee in 2009, is memorialized with an annual award called "The Nathan Potter Heart Award," which is presented annually to the Whitefish Bay wrestler who best reflects Potters's commitment, persistence, effort and grit on the wrestling mat. This year's recipient was Max Carlin, a Whitefish Bay senior who is making a name for himself in the 113-pound and 120-pound weight classes. Carlin, who competed in the state tournament last year, also posted 36 victories, breaking the team record for most wins in a season. Carlin received the award before the start of last week's home meet against Homestead, …

Whitefish Bay lost 6-60 at Port Washington High School Friday.
The Whitefish Bay wrestling team lost to Port Washington Friday 60-6, but head coach Dale Loebel said the score did not do justice to the team's performance and improvement against the fourth-ranked team in the state. "We wrestled a lot of close matches; we just ended up losing those matches at the end where we would make a mistake and it would cost us three or four points," Loebel said. "We don't score because we're not in the right spots." The team knew it would be tough going in, as the match was Port's 73rd consecutive win in the North Shore Conference. "We respect Port Washington, but we're not afraid of them," Loebel said. "We're going to give them what we got, and if our best isn't good enough that day then that's the best we can do…
