The Lowry wrestling team had a great year. The Buckaroos had three wrestlers make it to the finals at the state tournament.
Junior Cade Bell got state runner-up as well as Junior Taylor Corak and sophomore Anthony Peterson, who were all were the finalist. All three boys were state runner-ups.
The team did a great job all season. The group of boys that went to the state did a good job trying to win it all.
Sophomore Anthony Peterson believes he did great and is awaiting next season.
“Wrestling was great this season, and I look to improve on getting better so I can be a state champ,” said Peterson.
Taylor Corak thinks his season was a good one and wants to get better for next season.
“The season was good, I was very proud of how it turned out,” said Corak. “State was good; we had a young team, but we battled hard. I need to improve on my strength and speed.”
Cade Bell can’t wait for next year and thinks he could’ve done better.
“This season was a long season; the state competition wasn’t the best showing, but we need to keep to the grind for next year,” said Bell.
This was senior Josiah Chapman’s last year of wrestling. He was sad that it was his last, but it was also a good year.
“My last year has definitely been a great year, good vibes up in the wrestling room,” said Chapman. “The year could’ve been better in the ending, but in the end, I’m always happy I did it.”
