NEW MADRID For Valle Catholic High School wrestler Joseph Flieg, not being able to compete during the postseason last year has served as motivation.
That’s according Warrior head coach Jake Gegg.
Flieg, who transitioned from the 126- to 120-pound class this year, won both of his matches by fall this past Saturday earning a gold medal at his new weight.
“That was big for Joseph,” Gegg said. “He was motivated, and worked hard in the offseason. He had a good chance to qualify for state (last year).”
Flieg improved to 28-9 on the season, and he helped the Warriors to a third-place team finish at the Class 1 District 1 tournament at New Madrid County Central High School.
