Clarion Area Head Coach Lee Weber summed up his squad’s performance, Even though we were a little short handed due to multiple reasons, the seven wrestlers we had for the day were more than respectable! We went 2-3 as a team but we were in every match! We won 80% of the matches we wrestled so it was a great day! 

“Logan Powell, Mason Gourley, Ashton Rex, Breckin Rex, Caleb Edmonds, Chesney Boggess, and Josh Beal all had winning records for the day!  Even some of the individual matches that we lost, we battled all the way through!”

The Bobcats’ next match is Tuesday (January 11th) at Mercer.

(Good showing and keep up the hard work, Bobcats!!!!)
