Here's what Coach Jerry Englebert said about last week's tournament action:

Thursday and Friday, Southern Door wrestled at the "Oshkosh on the Water" tournament in Oshkosh.  This year 68 teams competed in the tournament, representing all three divisions and one team coming from Illinois.  Always a great tournament, and this year's field included several nationally-ranked wrestlers.

 

As a team had a very good week of practice and wrestled better top to bottom.  That said, we're still looking to take the next step and compete at a higher level.  We have the talent and athleticism to compete at a higher level but can't seem to pull everything together.  Hopefully, this experience will be a motivating factor moving forward.
