Our Cougar wrestlers came out victorious last night in a great dual meet vs cross town rival Linn Mar winning 40-27. There were a lot of back and forth battles and our grapplers earned bonus point victories in several matches. Getting pins for the Cougars was Alex Koch, Cade Parker, Josh Vis, Dylan Falck, and DIvion Ocheltree. Gunner Sparks earned a major decision and Ben Hoeger and Cam Jones scored hard fought decisions. We also had wrestlers lose their individual matches but never stopped fighting, limiting Linn Mar in the points they earned as a team. Our wrestlers are a perfect 6-0 in conference dual meets and on January 31st we are going to try to pack the gym to help us secure our first conference wrestling title in 32 years. More reminders to come. Great job guys!
