“We wrestled tough this weekend. The duals we lost could have gone either way and came down to a couple of matches. Our senior leader Theron wrestled amazing and pinned all of his opponents,” said Coach John Bokker.
“The off-season work from Dominick, Noah, Shane and Robert is really paying off. We have a couple of weeks to get healthier, stronger and tougher before our next contest.”
Holbrook will resume action on the mats following the Christmas break.
