Some things are within your control, while others are not — all of which Benjamin Russell wrestling coach Michael Ransaw looks at as learning experiences for his group.
On Thursday, the Wildcats hosted Pike Road, Wetumpka and Russell County for the Class 6A Region Duals, and from the beginning, their backs were against the wall. One wrestler missed weight while another suffered a concussion in the first match. Along with other injuries, it led to Benjamin Russell having to forfeit most of its matches. But still, Ransaw was proud of what he saw from the guys who were able to wrestle.
