ER Wrestlers Head to State Finals


Eaton Rapids Wrestlers are now the REGIONAL CHAMPIONS and are headed to STATE Competition today. For a woman who used to say "I hate sports", surprising this has become a really BIG deal. I don't know when I have enjoyed myself more than this past few weeks as I cheered (screamed) and took photos at every match.
As the boys prepared for their last 3 matches to be held in Battle Creek tonight and tomorrow, the parents made signs which are posted all over town and arranged for meals, snacks and all the rest of the details necessary to take our champs to the meet. They were featured on TV as the Team of the Week this week. Michigangrappler.com has predicted the Eaton Rapids boys to win the State Tournament. We think they are right,
Andy has 8 consecutive "Pins" and Justin had the 100th win of his wrestling career this week. You KNOW there will be many photos to follow.
