"It was a tough weekend at Lancaster. Congrats to them; they have a very good team," said Iowa-Grant/Highland coach Ryan Allen. "I thought we wrestled better than last week and hope we can keep getting better as next Saturday approaches. I thought qualifying 8 to sectionals was pretty good, but obviously I'd have liked to see more champs. I was hoping to get Jordan Jenks through but unfortunately he was in a tough bracket and didn't make it.
"I'm excited for a great week of practice and hopefully we can get 8 guys moving on to state. Also, congratulations to Tucker Sarbacker for getting his 130th career win as an I-G wrestler."
