The Lions prove to be too much for the Bulldogs!

The Varsity Wrestling Lions looked tough in a 65-7 win over Batavia. Senior Sam Anderson started the night with a solid win. Sam is one of our seniors who will be missed next year. Our other senior is James Martin who was injured and could not compete tonight but we know he would have come through with a win if he was able. Guys we will miss you next year and remember you will always be a part of the Lions Wrestling family!
