RESULTS

The wrestling team absolutely destroyed North Clay last week with a final score of 90-42. Should we list everyone who won? Absolutely? Unfortunately, it was nearly the entire team. The Colts won 16 out of 20 matches so we will hold off on naming them individually, just know, they are kicking butt. Tonight is your last chance to come out and see the Colts in action at home. Be there or be square!
