On Saturday, the Youth Dragon wrestlers competed in Districts, with all wrestlers qualifying to advance to the Region 5 tournament that will be held this Friday and Saturday in Harrisburg.

Youth wrestling is available to all Garretson youth aged 4 years to middle school. While not all wrestlers who practice participate in tournaments, the coaches love having as many youth involved as they can.

"Lots of hard work has been put in by these young men," said Coach Vernon Miller. "We love seeing them learn, grow, and succeed (these are not just in the wrestling room, but in the drive, attitude, and personality).

"Thank you to all the parents that support these youth wrestlers."
