Two Wrestlers extend their season one more week!

Nathan Dixon and JR Forsee will be headed to Columbus Thursday to do battle for the State Championship! Nathan Dixon won the District Title at 220 lbs., he pinned every opponent he faced! Nathan is on a mission to win a State Title, which would be the first in NR Wrestling history!

JR finished third at 285 lbs. , he will be making his third trip to Columbus! JR is a seasoned veteran in Columbus and should be standing on the podium Saturday night! Good luck to both young men on their journey.

Now the hard part. We got to watch four seniors wrestle their last match Saturday. The toughest part of being a wrestling coach is watching your seniors step on that line for the last time. You don't know when it will happen, you just know it will happen. Seniors Clay Loadman, Kevin Reid, James White and Justin Patrick put on a Lions Wrestling singlet for the last time Saturday. They put forth an effort that would make any coach proud. These young men should have no regrets, they represented their school, family and team with pride and honor. The wrestling room will not be the same next year. Hold your heads high men, you are Lions forever! WE ARE NR!!
