Iowa hangs on to win 7673 and im joined right now by the alburnett wrestling coach clayton rush for the sunday night spotlight. Coach, you gvys brought home some hardware winning the state duals title and the traditional title. You also had two individual champions. What did it mean to bring that hardware back to alburnett . Oh its important to these kids, the community. These are the competitions that theyve been competing in the past. Its become quite the tradition for them. Its pretty special to be able to bring these two championships back to burnett, along with the two individual titles. Lets talk about the duals title. It was a thriller. Lisbon was up one, but after a penalty point you guys were t td. The tiebreaker was the penalty points. What sort of emotions were going through during that time when everything was being sorted out . Actually, i didnt even know there was a penalty point. It was a news to me and one of my assistants knew there was a penalty point, it just wasnt taken off the scoreboard. That last match was over and we thought we lost. They changed it over and it was quite the emotional roller coaster. Lisbon was cheering you know, alburnetts going crazy. So it was an emotional roller coaster,r,ut it was a really fun dual. You also won the traditional title and what helped was having two state champions. Lets start with Connor Shulista at 152. He took 2nd last year and was determined to win it all this year. He beat the one wrestler who beat him earlier this season. He was wrestling and we had a home tournament, he was beating that kid 93 and was tilting him, and just got pinned. So going into this match, we felt confident in that he could get this win for us. Not only that, we were down. 5 point going into that match. Theres nobody else that id rather have out there to, one, win an individual state title for himself. But two, to lock up the team title for us. Tanner sloan also won a state title at 170. Hes just a sophomore. What did he do to win it all . Hes a very dominant wrestler. He wrestles hard in all positions all that he needs to continue to do and grow. I think he went down to georgia last summer to compete. And thats his biggest asset, you saw him in a lot of his matches where hed take guys down and ride them hard. And guys dont like that. Guys dont like to be laying on the mat with those long arms. Once again, alburne brought home two team titles and two individual titles in the state tournament t ts past week. Well be right back.
