The Lake Highlands varsity wrestling team started the season off on a big note with a dominating win over Wylie on Tuesday night, 73 to 6.

Several 'Cats registered pins in the first period including Jorge Vargas, Biak Thang, Yordi Calix, Lee Lueder, Parker Starr and Ryan Branch. Yordi Calix needed all of ten seconds to pin his opponent.

The best match of the night pitted Nathan Schulman against Wylie's Augustus Kortemeir, which could turn out to be a preview for the District 18 final in the 138 lb. weight class. While a competitive match, Schulman took care of business and defeated Kortemeir 11-3.

The JV team also won by a score of 36 to 21.

'Cats head coach Pete Grieder is in his 26th year as the LHHS wrestling head coach.

During his tenure, the 'Cats have won 19 district championships, six regional championships and has an all-time dual record of 448-149. With a team full of seasoned vets, it's expected to be yet another championship year for the Wildcats.

Up next for the 'Cats is the Keller 6-way duals which are set for Saturday, November 12th at Keller High School. The action gets started at 9:00 a.m.
