You heard that right, repeat Sectional Champs!! Coming off a SBAAC Championship some thought the Lions would rest on their victory, wrong, the Lions picked up the pace and defended their Sectional Crown. Batavia gym was packed to capacity. The Lion faithful filled the center section. We had numerous inactive wrestlers and inactive coaches there,(once a Lion coach/wrestler always a Lion coach/wrestler. You are always ready for action and waiting on the call). Our superintendent, Adam Bird (an inactive wrestler) caught the action along with our AD Doug Foote(not an inactive wrestler!!), some even say they saw George Clooney there filming his new movie, who would have thought?
The Lions had three sectional champs, Brody Hooks @112 lbs., Austin Skaggs @119 lbs. and JR Forsee @285 lbs. The Lions had three finish second, Ryan Zawacki @140 lbs., Cory English @152 lbs. and James White @171 lbs. . Third place finishers were Jordon Hooks @103 lbs., Cody Gabelman @125 lbs. and Kevin Reid @160 lbs.. Sam Anderson finished fourth @130 lbs. along with Clay Loadman @140 lbs. and Nathan Dixon finished fifth @215 lbs. .
On a more serious note, coach John Barger is still in ICU @ Anderson Mercy hospital. He is stable at this time but still needs our thoughts and prayers. This championship was for you!
Next up for the Lions is districts @ Goshen Friday and Saturday. WE ARE NR!!
