Owatana vs. Albert Lea

The biggest match of the year for Albert Lea took place this Saturday. We were expecting a large crowd, and that's exactly what we got. The gym was jam packed full of screaming fans waiting to see a great match. It started off with the junior high, progressed to the jv and finished with the varsity. Each team (jh, jv and varsity) wrestled well. Now to be able to be called Big nine champs for another consecutive year, we needed to knock off the no. 4 rated huskies. Every Albert wrestler, wrestled with intesity, and with an Albert Lea wrestling attitude. We won 4 out of 5 key matches that could have gone either way in the last seconds. No one gave up, they wrestled hard, and it payed off. It finished with an Albert Lea victory, and a big nine championship.
