Two local teams will be featured on a pair of wrestling mats in Brussels Tuesday evening as Southern Door hosts Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol, Bay Port, and Gillett/Suring on 104.1 WRLU.

 

All four teams are coming off tournaments over the weekend with the Eagles already facing some Pirate wrestlers at the Battle of the Bay Tournament. Griffin Slezewski was the top performer for the Eagles placing in sixth place at 132 pounds while the Pirates placed six in the top six. Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol had four wrestlers place in the top six at the eight-team Brillion Invitational, led by Ben Denamur's fourth-place finish. 

 

Eagles head coach Jerry Englebert says he has liked how his young team has responded so far this season while facing some tough competition.

 

 

Tim Kowols and Greg Letter will have the call beginning at 5:30 p.m. with the prematch show followed by Southern Door vs. Bay Port at 6 p.m. with Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol battling Gillett/Suring. Following a brief intermission, the Eagles will wrestle Gillett/Suring while Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol battles Bay Port.
