Bryan wins another district wrestling title, Ellison finishes in third place
Treating wrestling like a year-round sport, Bryan continued its flat-out dominance of District 25, overwhelming the Central Texas area once again.
With eight individual champions, and 12 of its 15 wrestlers placing at least third, the Vikings steamrolled rival A&M Consolidated and the Killeen-area schools to claim their fourth straight boys title and third since joining the district.
“Bryan’s the team everyone’s gunning for,” said Shoemaker coach Ken Soloff. “Ellison, for the boys, is always the best hope out of Killeen. But Bryan’s got a good program, (they) are well-coached and they wrestle well.”
Along with the eight champions, the Bryan boys advanced a district-leading 10 total wrestlers to the Region IV meet next weekend in San Antonio, while Consolidated advanced seven to edge reigning runner-up Ellison for second place by 0.5 points (214 to 213.5).
