Little guy wrestlers compete in tournament

Nearly three hundred “little guy wrestlers” competed last weekend in a two day tournament in Superior. The tournament was one of the first qualifying tournaments for the state competition and twenty-five Superior wrestlers placed.

Coach Charlie Crabb said that if hadn’t been for the help of many parents the tournament would not have gone as smoothly as it did.

“The parent help was awesome,” Crabb said. “They did a great job.”

As you might imagine there was a lot of wrestling going on. He said that the Superior kids wrestled well.

“I felt it went pretty good,” Crabb said.
