Bulldogs Compete at MAC Red/White Tournament

On Friday, February 3 and Saturday, February 4 the JV and varsity wrestlers competed in the MAC Red/White Tournament hosted by Warren Mott High School. It was a great showing by the Bulldogs and a fantastic way to head into the post season. It was the last tournament for the JV westlers and they did themselves proud. There was a tremendous amount of growth shown throughout the season. It was especially nice that many of our JV wrestlers placed and earn medals for all their hard work!

The varsity team also fought hard and represented themselves well! With some varsity wrestlers being held out for maxing out their number of matches and others for getting healthy, the wrestlers who were entered into the tournament wrestled like champs!

Surprise, Surprise….. There was a three way tie for the MAC Red Dual Meet Championship. We found out Anchor Bay won their dual meet against Dakota on a technicality creating a three way tie between the Anchor Bay, Dakota and Romeo. All three schools were awarded MAC Red Dual Meet Championship plaques!

Here are the team scores for the varsity tournament:
