Lake Mills and West Hancock are both off to state duals. Lake Mills, a familiar face – West Hancock, a newcomer.
Lake Mills was a favorite coming into the wrestling season to return to Wells Fargo Arena. The Bulldogs returned a senior-dominated lineup led by returning state place winners, Jack Ramaker, Casey Hanson, and Elijah Wagner. Junior Brady Hanson also reached the traditional state tournament last season.
The Bulldogs – currently ranked fourth in Class 1A as a dual team – earned a first-round bye last night and were set to wrestle either Hudson or Central Springs. Central Springs beat Hudson setting up the regional championship matchup between the two Top of Iowa Conference teams.
