COACH'S CORNER
"I thought our kids did a great job tonight. We just competed in a tournament this past Saturday and had to come back on Tuesday night and came away with a big conference win. I am really proud of our light weights, especially Omar Gasmann. He lost to that CBC kid big this weekend and comes back and almost gets a major decision. Having Coach Miller in the room working with those guys has really helped as well. We will back off so the kids can get ready for their finals before we head off to Tennessee for three quality duals against nationally ranked opponents."- Coach Tom Erikson
Up Next for the Scots
Lyon will travel to Tennessee to compete in the Smokey Mountain Duals on Sunday, December 16th.
