The tournament is contested in dual meet format and when all of the matches were completed, it was the Rams who were victorious after a 4-0 day. The rams not only won the tourament yet they get to take home the wrestling trophies. "We wrestled great today," said Ram head coach Brian Richardson. "I couldn't have been more proud of the way we performed. Some of our kids met some great competition and came out on top, and some of our kids fell just short against quality opponents." The day began with Rockford posting a 49-22 triumph over Coopersville. They followed that up with a resounding 78-6 victory over Central Montcalm. All before defeating the host Panthers 45-24. Those three wins sent Rockford into the tournament final where the team conquered a game Otsego squad 37-25 to garner the trophy. Three Ram wrestlers, Jake Banaszak (215), Peter Nugent (145) and Mick DeBoer (140), were a perfect 4-0 on the day. Six other Ram grapplers, Stephen Jondritz (103), Nate Rojas (112), Tyler VanRooyen (119), Austin Scogg (152) and Solomon Gant (160), posted a 3-1 mark for the tourney. "We have got a lot of things to work on," Richardson said. "And this tourney was all about getting ready for Jenison on Wednesday. They have been one of our fiercest rivals of late and this year won't be any different." After squaring off with the Wildcats, the Rams will compete in the Kent County Invitational at Grand Rapids Union High School Saturday.
