Lake Highlands will have wrestlers all over the gym this weekend starting tonight. The LHHS hosted Tri-State Classic Wrestling Tournament begins Friday at 6:30 p.m and then picks up at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
No they won’t be sporting names like The Ultimate Warrior or asking if “you smell what The Rock is cooking.”
However, there will be some high-quality competition, as 25 teams will be at LHHS with nearly 600 wrestlers competing in Varsity and JV competition.
The Lake Highlands wrestlers will be defending their Tri-State Championship from last year.
The Wildcats have three undefeated wrestlers in Nathan Schulman, Biak Thang and Parker Starr, and one loss wrestlers Thayer Atkins and Yordi Calix. Together these five have a combined record of 68 – 2.
In their last meet, the Wildcats beat Hebron 61-12. Lake Highlands is currently 13-1 as a team.
