Hungry.
That was how Griswold High School wrestler Brock Coutu described himself after his win in the 135-pound weight class at the Eastern Connecticut Conference wrestling championships on Saturday at Fitch High School.
Coutu was hungry not because he skipped a meal somewhere to make weight , but rather because of his loss a week ago to Pomfret School wrestler Alex LaBeef.
For that reason, Coutu took on Woodstock wrestler Henry Nickerson Saturday and went after him like the whole match was only going to last for two minutes which turned out to be the case as Coutu recorded a 16-0 win by technical fall.
"I wanted to get on the mat and get it done, no fooling around, just come out with a high intensity mentality but still not do anything crazy," Coutu said.
The Griswold senior didn't do anything crazy and recorded the fastest win of the tournament. Ledyardheavyweight John Gabordi was next with a pin 2 two minutes and 44 seconds into his match. The only other pin was recorded by Windham's Nick Marouski.
