The Ledyard Colonels and T.J.Hepburn were certainly the kings of the mat on Saturday as they Colonels easily swept to victory at the Eastern Connecticut Conference wrestling championships at Fitch High School.
But there were so many other stories.
We're going to present some of those stories to you on Tuesday in a special High School wrestling notebook feature.
I had a chance to talk to all of the winners of each weight class as well as some of those who may not have come out on top but certainly gave it their all. Take Woodstock's Henry Nickerson for instance, only a freshman and thrown in to the ring, so to speak, with a talented senior like Hepburn in the championship match.
There was Omar Diaz from New London, one of only two Whaler wrestlers, but he too made it to a title tilt and Fitch's Adrien Gonzalez who was the only member of the host school in a championship match.
Those are just some of the stories you will read about tomorrow on the high school page of the Norwich Bulletin and, of course, online too.
