The 2013-2014 Plymouth wrestling team made history on Feb 21 by becoming the first team in Plymouth history to make it to Team States in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Wildcats worked hard and spent endless hours preparing for this feat. At the meet they pulled an unlucky draw and had to battle their first match against Detroit Catholic Central. They were out their first match but they lost to the eventual winner of Division 1, Catholic Central.
“It was an amazing experience being there. I have been going for the past seven years as a spectator so to be in the actual event is incredible. The grand march was the best part,” said Plymouth senior Daniel Ahearn.
Plymouth had wrestlers accomplish great feats throughout the season and prove themselves beyond expectations. They were a strong team with a lot of depth throughout all the weight classes.
It was a successful end to a great season. But it isn’t over for everyone. Plymouth had six state qualifiers whose seasons continued at Individual States held at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Thursday, Feb 27.
Plymouth proved itself this season by winning districts, moving onto both Team and Individual States, and ending the season with fantastic record. They proved to everyone that even a young school can make history. Plymouth hopes to continue this success on the mat next year.
