Blue Jays take home the Gold at Home Dual Meet

The Newman Grove/Lindsay Holy Family wrestling team came out to start the 2010 part of the season on a high and exciting note. The Blue Jays hosted the Holiday Duals on January 2 and claimed the gold. The teams that attended were Millard South JV, Grand Island JV, Norfolk JV, Millard North JV, Fremont JV, Scribner/ Snyder, and Battle Creek JV.
