Grapplers began last week taking down Waterford Kettering, posting wins in 10 match-ups. They finished a dual meet on Jan. 13, 46-19.
‘The guys wrestled well,? said Clarkston Wrestling Head Coach Joe DeGain.
Raymond Wilkie (103), Jeff Sloney (130), Ty Foltz (135), Kyle Broughton (140) and Evan King (171) gave the team a boost in points winning their matches with pins.
The boys headed to Detroit Catholic Central’s Super Duals to compete in four dual matches.
‘It was a really tough team tournament but I think we did really well,? said senior Matt Deitz. ‘We will see some of the teams at states, except one team was from Ohio. We won’t see them again.?
They walked away with two wins over Bedford (34-28) and Davison (50-21) and two losses to St. Edward (66-0), who remained undefeated for the day and Hartland (38-15).
The boys head to Detroit Catholic Central again on Wednesday, this time for a dual meet.
They are back home on Jan. 27 hosting a Quad Meet. They will wrestle Troy-Athens and West Bloomfield at 5:30 p.m.
‘It is time for us to really start focusing on short, intense boys so we can be ready for the end of the season,? said DeGain.
