While the LHHS Wrestling team is accustomed to a certain amount of success, this season is shaping up as what could be record breaking year.
After dominating the 17th annual Tri-State Classic, the 'Cats headed into last Friday night's dual with Highlands Park on a roll.
Things didn't slow down against the Scots as Coach Grieder's squad added another dominating dual win to their season total with a 79-6 win.
A quick turnaround saw the 'Cats face off against Berkner, Arlington Lamar and Keller Central on Saturday at LHHS.
The Wildcats won the quad dual in convincing fashion with a 51-12 win over Lamar, then beat Berkner 55-13 before capping off the weekend with a 55-21 win over Keller.
Lake Highlands is now 17-0 in duals this season.
Three Wildcats remain undefeated this season.
Sophomore Thayer Atkins (113 lb.) who is coming off a 4th place finish at the state tournament last year, is currently 21-0 on the season and appears primed and ready to make another run at the state title.
Atkins is currently ranked 4th in the state in his weight class but did beat the #2 ranked wrestler, Damion Heard of Fossil Ridge, earlier this season. With the win over Heard, Atkins should move up in the rankings when they are updated over the holiday break.
Senior Nathan Schulman (138 lb.) who was a state qualifier last year as a junior, is currently 21-0 on the season and is at present ranked 5th in the state in the 138 lb. weight class.
Schulman beat the state's top wrestler in the 132 lb. weight class, Scott Akers of Flower Mound, earlier this season so he could see a bump in the state rankings, as well.
As a regional qualifier last year, Junior D'Andre Brumfield currently holds down a 16-0 record this season and should break into the state rankings later this month.
The 'Cats travel to Saginaw for the Saginaw Tournament this Saturday, December 17th.
GO 'CATS!
