Lions and Tigers and Aviators?? Oh My!!

It was not a lame version of the Wizard of Oz, it was a heart pounding, teeth grinding, grueling wrestling meet @ Milford High School! The Varsity Wrestling Lions gutted out a second place finish behind the Loveland Tigers and just ahead of the Sycamore Aviators. The Lions finished the first day in fourth place out of sixteen teams. Saturday morning went very well for the Lions though, five wrestlers would be in the finals for first. Overall the Lions placed ten in the top six.

Leading the way for the Lions was Brody Hooks, Austin Skaggs, Cody Gabelman and JR Forsee, all finishing first! Cody Gabelman received votes but didn't quite win the Most Valuable Wrestler award, Cody pinned all his opponents and only one of them made it to the second period, congrats Cody!! Freshmen Kyle Weeks was the surprise of the tournament. Kyle was unseeded and upset three wrestlers on his way to a second place finish, that victory grin may never come off his face!!! Ryan Zawacki, James White and Kevin Reid finished fourth Ryle Beckerich and Nathan Dixon finished sixth.

Next up for the Lions is Senior night/Alumni night Thursday, 02/02 @ New Richmond High School. Come celebrate with our seniors and alumni. Get the word out that we want all NRHS wrestling alumni and coaches! WE ARE NR!!!
