The middle school Mighty Duck squad (Varsity Team) show great signs of progress in their wrestling abilities in this weekend’s Middle School State Duals at Peachtree Ridge High School. The Mighty ducks wrestled well against Georgia’s top middle school teams. Coach Nick remarked after a close loss to ranked Collins Hill, “This team was in the match the entire dual. Our team was just as skilled and prepared as they [Collins Hill] were. I would not have been able to say this only one short month ago. I could tell things were changing by the atmosphere in practice the last couple of weeks. Our boys are really making great strides to becoming better wrestlers.”
Although this year’s squad did not finish in the top six, they certainly made other teams take notice. Furthermore, they improved over last year’s State Dual performance at Union Grove high School.
