The Lions Pounce on First Place @ Sectionals.

The Lions wrestling team captures the sectional title last night @Goshen. The Lions were lead by sophomore Brody Hooks placing first. Seniors Andrew Nealan and Brian Gelter continued their quest for state, Andrew placed second and Brian placed fourth. JR Forsee and Austin Skaggs placed second, Cody Gableman and Kevin Reid placed third, Sam Anderson and Lance Houser placed fourth, Brandon Mues and Clay Loadman placed fifth, Robbie Lemar, Luke Hoskins and Ryan Zawacki placed sixth. Just in case you haven't been counting that is the whole team, they all placed top six! What a team effort, the hours of training, hard work and dedication have payed off big for these Lions!

The Lions wrestled their way into first place after the third round and never looked back. The Lions seemed to do their best wrestling in the third period. They were losing several matches late and pulled off upset victories time and again. The Lions varsity lineup consists of six freshmen, five sophmores, one junior and two seniors. The Lions won the tournament by 29 points over Goshen and 43 points over Wilmington.

Nine Lion wrestlers will be moving on to districts next week @ Goshen. Wrestling starts Friday @ 2pm. Thanks for all your support of the wrestling program. WE ARE NR!!
