Trout Tales, March 5
We made the jaunt to Columbia this week to watch our high-flying wrestilng squads win 6 medals — including Colton Roark winning the Cassville boys’ second-ever individual state championship! So much credit goes to our athletes for the months, and years, of work that go into competing at such a high level; but I also have to say, our coaches are the best. Here, we see coach Tegan Nickle, left, leaning into a cheer for Analeigh Winchell as she won her medal bubble match. Meanwhile, Head Coach Casey Parsons is being hit by a Harry Potter spell — WRESTGARDIUM LEVIOSA! Huge congrats to our amazing athletes and enthusiastic coaches. All your efforts noticed and appreciated!
