Wrestling does battle with Maderia & Ross @ Ross.

Last night the JV and Varsity took their show on the road to clash with the #2 ranked Ross Rams and the #5 ranked Madeira Mustangs. The Ross match started with solid wins by the Hooks brothers, Jordan and Brody. The Lions lost the next two matches. The Lions then pinned their hopes on senior Sam Anderson to reclaim the lead and of course Sam came through with a big win, Lions back in the lead. The Lions lost the next two matches and then Ryan Zawacki lost a close match 8-6. Junior Cory English captured the next win with a strong performance. Luke Hoskins followed up Cory's win with a disappointing overtime loss. Kevin Reid picked up his teammate with a dominating win. The Lions dropped the next two matches and then JR Forsee showed them what Lions Pride is all about with a technical fall of his Ross opponent! Final score Ross 43 and the Lions 27.
Next up was the Madeira Mustangs and we all know what happens when the Lions come off a loss, a dominating victory! Yes the Lions went wire to wire winning 9 of the 14 weight classes. Sophomore Nathan Dixon had an impressive win. Juniors Austin Skaggs and Cody Gableman showed their skill with solid wins over Madeira. Cory English was the top team point performer last night with 12 team points, Nice work Cory!
The JV finished the night with wins by James White, Tristan Williams, Jay Troy, Clay Loadman and Chris Klinker. WE ARE NR!
