It was a highlight for Dana Cooke and his Griswold Wolverines wrestlers.
They had hopes of finishing better than the fifth place finish of last year in the State Open wrestling championship but I don't think there's any question they exceeded their wildest dreams on Saturday.
Today in the Norwich Bulletin and Bulletin online, you can read more about those wrestling exploits from Saturday as we bring you the stories of the four local wrestlers who brought home Open titles from New Haven, Ledyard's T.J.Hepburn, Griswold's Tyler Banks, Fitch's Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Murphy from NFA. Plus, we'll bring you more of what the Griswold athletes were thinking and feeling after finishing second only to wrestling powerhouse, Danbury, in the Open.
Later this week, look for the New England preview as we set the stage for the final wrestling championship of the season which will take place this weekend at the New Haven Athletic Center at Hillhouse High School.
