Wetumpka falls short at sectionals

Despite several strong individual boats, the Wetumpka wrestling team couldn’t string together enough wins to pull out a victory at the AHSAA Class 6A Sectionals on Saturday. The Indians ultimately fell to Saraland, 42-28.

“We didn't wrestle badly, and in all the matches that we did lose, we ended up getting pinned, so, I mean, that's the difference in giving up three or giving up six points in a dual,” Coach Josh Highland said. “We gave up too many pins, and we just couldn't recover from it, as the guys that wrestled the best tried to put us back in the match, but it's just like I said, giving up that many pins, it was hard to come back.”
