Mt. Hebron senior Cassy Lopez stood out competing against mostly boys for the last four years. The 106-pounder who wrestled for one of the best public school programs in the state has always been the underdog, despite competing three years on varsity and winning 29 matches — including 20 by fall — this winter.
But Lopez won't be overlooked any longer. Instead, she will be a role model for high school girls for years to come.
