“I was pleased with our young team that came out attacking to score points,” Coach Ludwig stated, “where every one of our wrestlers were either down, or in a real battle with other wrestlers, and we found a way to score the points to win. It is great to see our young team put some attacks together and put themselves in good position to win matches. It is impressive to have every one of our wrestlers place in the top five, especially with the freshmen and first year wrestlers.”
Next up, Lakeview will travel to the Grants Pass Holiday Tournament on Friday, Dec. 16 and Saturday, Dec. 17.
