Cadott remains unbeaten in the league duals so far

By Ginna Young Success continues to come Cadott’s way, for their boys wrestling program, as they are now unbeaten in dual conference action.

Jan. 16 Regis Dual (W 2-1) The Hornets were on the road at Regis, to begin the week, where they captured the win to remain undefeated in the conference. Cadott’s only challenge was Osceola, who got the victory over them, 43-36, while the Hornets won big over Stanley-Boyd, 58-18, and Regis-Altoona, 43-24.

“I was extremely proud of our athletes Thursday evening,” said coach Josh Spaeth. “They wrestled as a team and put forth a great effort to knock off a very good Regis-Altoona team.”
