Lincoln Park Coach Don McKenzie thought his team did well against the Thunderbirds and expected them to do a bit better against the Titans.
“We did well against Edsel Ford (and) came out with a lot of intensity and aggressive,” McKenzie said. “I thought we were gonna do a little bit better against Southgate considering how well we did against Edsel Ford, but (we’re) just not ready to wrestle Southgate.”
The Rails will participate in individual regionals on Saturday where McKenzie hopes to take five or six kids away to regionals.
“Our region’s gonna be tough but as far as our districts, I hope to be able to get at least 5-6 kids,” he said.
Southgate Coach Jerry Frazier was pleased with his team’s effort and expects them to do well in regionals this Saturday.
“We wrestled really well,” Frazier said. “We came in and did what we came out to do.
“The kids continue to get better and better every time we step on the mat. So we’ll take this into Saturday and see how many kids we can get out to regionals. We’re just hoping to wrestle well. If we wrestle well, everything else will take care of itself.”
