Comments from Coach Aaron Hadenfeldt
“Solon-Williamsburg has turned into a pretty good rivalry, no matter the sport, and our duals against them are intense. Some of our guys are figuring out they can be pretty good, and when you combine hard work with that, good things start to happen. We’ve got work to do, but Thursday night was a good night of wrestling.”

Coach’s comments
“Winning a Saturday tournament is a credit to our guys and doesn’t happen by accident,” said Hadenfeldt. “We talk about finishing strong and we were able to do that with most of our team winning the last match they wrestled for the day. Lawsin Sinnwell (144 pounds) won this tournament for the third year in a row and Lucas Feuerbach (215) had a big win in the finals, pinning a top-ranked wrestler. He continues to show that he’s not afraid of whoever is across from him and he competes. He doesn’t like losing.”
