Clear Lake grapplers go to 2-1 at Dick Kennedy Duals

The Clear Lake Lions competed at the Dick Kennedy Duals at Webster City Saturday.  The Lions had a great day, going 2-1, beating Webster City and Woodward Granger.   The Lions fell to Southeast Polk.

“We had a lot of great matches for our kids,” said Coach Mike Lester.  “A very well balanced team is making us a great dual team.”

Clear Lake’s Eric Faught continued to stay undefeated through the weekend.  He was one of several top ranked wrestlers on the mat in Webster City.

“We showed a lot of fight against Southeast Polk (rated number one in Class 3A).  I was very proud of the way we competed against them,” said Coach Lester.

Other top performances included 145-pounder Max Soto wrestling a great match in which he almost pulled out a win against seventh ranked Ryan Strickland,” said Lester.  “Kade Hambly faced the top ranked wrestler in 2A at 220-pounds and held great composure throughout the whole match. He is right in it with the top ranked wrestler in the state.  All in all we had a great competition.  We are looking forward to a Webster City rematch and Algona on Thursday and then Davenport Assumption first round Friday at the Battle of Waterloo.”
