"After the seeding, I felt like we had a chance to have a good tournament," head coach Pete Grieder said after the tournament.

"Everybody made weight both days, and we stayed injury free."

"Everyone wrestled well and now we're on a roll. All the guys are feeding off each other and have a true desire to win."

The Wildcats host Berkner, Lamar and Central for a quad dual meet this Saturday, December 10th at Lake Highlands High School.
