Quotes:
I’m very proud of our team. We wrestled hard and almost overcame a 30 point deficit in forfeits to make it to the regional semi-final. For our team to be able to compete like that is saying a lot about the work being put in by our individuals. In the dual meets we competed in we were certainly NOT out wrestled. At this point in the season that is about all we can control.

The Cardinals will host Dover (Senior Night) on Feb.18th @5:30pm.
