It’s postseason time for High School Wrestling as we begin with the Naperville Central regional. Four of our area teams are in attendance including the host Redhawks who come in as your defending regional champs.

Naperville Central does get some help in the heavyweight third place match with Niko Epps beating Waubosnie’s Luke Buntin in overtime. Although at the end of the day it’s Marmion winning the regional title with West Aurora in second and Naperville Central in third.
