The first week of the 2024-2025 high school wrestling season has come and gone in a flash. Mid-week lake effect snow interrupted many Wednesday duals and shutdown a number of schools through the end of the week, but the Friday-Saturday slate did more than make up for it with intense dual meet and individual events throughout the area.
Before proceeding – a quick note. You may or may not be wondering, ‘Where’s my dual meet and weekend roundups? What’s up with the subject pronouns?’ This season, I’ll be changing things up to a more informal column-type, quick rundown on the week’s highlights instead of simply listing results (amongst my other duties) in order to maximize my time. I’m hoping to find a little bit better of a balance while still covering all the great teams & athletes throughout the region.
On to the wrestling.
