From wrestling correspondent Ann Villasana:
The Wildcat wrestling team earned Hall of Fame coach Pete Grieder his 400th dual win Saturday and stayed undefeated after winning the Plano East tournament.
Lake Highlands beat Plano East 70-8, Northwest 67-12 and The Colony 65-15 before meeting Flower Mound for the championship. In the finals, the wrestlers showed a lot of heart as they wrestled well and beat Flower Mound 46-30. Several individuals went 4 and 0 for the tournament: Isaac Kinsella, Colman Vigil, Isaac Grieder and Ebrima Njie. The team is currently 11-0.
Winning 400 dual matches is big for any wrestling coach’s career, but doing it in just 22 years is pretty special. Add with that the 17 District Championships, 6 regional championships and 17 top four regional finishes, and you can see why Grieder has been inducted into both the Texas and National Wrestling Halls of Fame.
The Wildcats have a big match coming up Tuesday in the Lake Highlands small gym against power house Arlington Martin. JV starts at 6 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m.
