Luke Isbrecht took to the mats on the State's biggest stage this weekend, wrestling in the Individual State Finals at Ford Field in Detroit. He fought hard in the first round, losing a tight match 3-5 against the 4th ranked wrestler in his division and weight class. Luke bounced back in the second round, defeating his opponent by score of 15-5. Unfortunately he was unable to win his third match of the day, and his season (and high school wrestling career) ended Friday evening. Luke finished the season as one of the top 12 wrestlers in the State of Michigan for the D3 126 pound weight class. Great job Luke!
