For a blossoming wrestling program like the one planted at Dadeville High School, it’s always beneficial to learn from one of the best. And for the Tigers, that is exactly what they are doing.

For the third time this season, Dadeville has faced Tallassee — one of the premier wrestling programs in the state of Alabama. The final score may typically leave heavily in the favor of the opposing Tigers, but the experience is invaluable to coach Matthew Wilson.
