"We plan on defending our district championships from the last two years," LH coach Pete Grieder said. "We’re trying to three-peat."

Just the top two performers from each weight class will advance to the Region 3 meet, which will be Feb. 12-13 at Allen.

LH will enter two undefeated wrestlers: Isaac Grieder (pictured) is 49-0 at 160 pounds and Isaac Kinsella is 29-0 at 135. Kinsella has not wrestled since the Grapevine Duals in early January because of an elbow injury. Coach Grieder said Kinsella will wrestle in practice Friday to determine his readiness. Grieder said Kinsella should be a lot better by regionals, but he has to compete at district to qualify.
