After eight years without one, Baltimore is close to welcoming a hostel back to town.

"I really believe in the mission."

North Carroll wrestler Tyler Macleod found himself in a precarious situation in the finals of McDonogh's Ray Oliver Tournament last month. His opponent, McDonogh freshman Shane Milam, had run up an 11-0 lead and, with growing momentum, was coming closer to scoring a 15-0 technical fall - wrestling's version of the "slaughter rule" - over Macleod. But Macleod didn't panic. The 140-pound senior knew he carried with him a trump card - his signature, finishing move, the cradle, and that it was only a matter of time before he found a way to catch the McDonogh wrestler in it. Sure enough, near the end of the second period, Macleod slapped the cradle on Milam and nearly pinned the freshman as time expired.

"I knew coming into the match that I was going to have to wrestle my hardest. I was going to go out there real tough," said Macleod, a sophomore who is 17-4. "It just worked out for me."
