  • Vandal wrestlers go 2-1 at Vandal Quad

    Senior John Vosholler made the smartest decision among the Vandals during a quadrangular meet on Saturday.

    With the Vandals trailing 24-0 against state-ranked Leroy, Vosholler found himself hooked into John Morrell’s cradle lock in the third round of their match, which Vosholler was losing, 2-0.

    He did not panic, however, instead maneuvering himself into a defensive pin position, forcing Morrell’s shoulders to the mat to win the match with 1:08 left on the clock, boosting the team’s morale.

    But instead of giving up on the loose ball, Hosick dove to the floor, briefly gained control the ball and flipped it to senior Marty Johnson, who promptly made a bucket to put Vandalia ahead by nine.

    “I can take him,” he said. “No doubt.”
