Meet Recap

Back to back Sectional Champs! The Knights edged the Wildcats by the slimmest of margins, 0.5 points, for the championship. It came down to the final weight class matches of the day. The Knights hwt Sam Smith was tasked with pinning his opponent from East Central, and Union County needed to win the championship match against Franklin County. Everything came together for the Knights. Sam Smith pinned his opponent and Union County’s Clark Minges won in UTB to give the Knights the edge. The win was the first at home for Head Coach George Gardner. This is his seventh sectional title as South Dearborn’s head coach. Congratulations Coach Gardner!
