Lions honor seniors and alumni with a big win over Wilmington and Hillsboro!

What an event, senior night and alumni night, a full house and the Lions honor the crowd with a dominating performance. Our nine seniors went to center circle for the last time at NRHS. The nine seniors will leave a legacy of arguably the best wrestling team this high school has ever assembled. With a little forward thinking these young men will finish with three league titles, three sectional titles, a district title, two state dual appearances, eight state qualifying appearances and numerous tournament titles. The best part of the story is that they are better young leaders than they are wrestlers. Brody Hooks, Robbie Lemar, Austin Skaggs, Tyler Loyd, Cody Gabelman, Ryan Zawacki, Chris Klinker, Cory English and Ryle Beckerich you have left a mark on this program that will never be forgotten, 1, 2 PRIDE, WORK, WIN!!!

We had about thirty alumni wrestlers show up for the event. It was great seeing the group that paved the way for this storied program.

The seniors went out with a bang, beating Wilmington 55-18 and Hilsboro 39-29! Ryle pinning both his opponents, Austin tooled his opponent for six minutes, Tyler launched a Wilmington wrestler to the rafters, Cody wasted no time pinning his opponent, Robbie hung twenty-four points on his opponent, Chris pinned his opponent quickly.

Next up for the Lions is the Washington Courthouse Duals Saturday, WE ARE NR!!
