The Lions pound away at the Hammer & Anvil!
The varsity wrestling Lions finished seventh out of sixteen teams Saturday. Being invited to the Hammer & Anvil is tough enough, finishing top ten is a huge accomplishment for the program. They started the day swinging a big Hammer, second place after round two. Ryan Zawacki lead the way for the Lions beating the #1 seed from Michigan on his way to a strong second place finish! Brody Hooks only lost one match all day and finished third. Cody Gabelman Wrestled well finishing fourth. A pair of sophomores finished fifth, Kevin Reid and JR Forsee. Senior Sam Anderson gutted out a sixth place finish after coming back from illness. Jordan Hooks and Austin Skaggs made the finals finishing seventh. Brandon Mues, Clay Loadman and Cory English finished up with an eighth place finish. The Lions placed 11 out of 14 wrestlers. The Lions outpaced all SBAAC schools by almost 100 points, the league meet is only three weeks away! The hard work is paying off for the Lions with improvement every week. WE ARE NR!
