Mustangs Still a Wrestling Force

The Mountain Crest wrestling program has stepped back into the spotlight. The two-time defending 4A state champions proved they are still a force to be dealt with after their second-place finish at the 60-team Rocky Mountain Rumble last weekend.

The Mustangs had three individual champions in Jerrett Morrill (125), Jake Morrill (130) and Ethen Lofthouse (160) as well as several other wrestlers with solid performances.

"We are just starting to get into form," said Lofthouse of the team. "I think that at the beginning of the year, we weren't wrestling as well as we could have, but now, we are a team to look out for."

With the big three leading the way, and Raider Lofthouse, who is an all-star caliber wrestler, the MustangFBs may be hoisting a third consecutive trophy next month.
