Unedited summary from Rushville coach Jim Tush:
Rushville wrestlers traveled to Milan Saturday to take on Milan, Lawrenceburg, Batesville and Union County. We ended up 1-3 giving us a total record of 2-3 for the season so far. We had three wrestlers go undefeated for the day. Our veteran senior, Alan Busche, had a great day scoring 3 pins and a forfeit. Junior, Tuff Tackett, and freshman, Zakk Read, both won the one match they wrestled, against very tough opponents, and took three forfeits. Pacy Dye strained his back pinning Merkel from Lawrenceburg, took 2 forfeits, and gave his final match at 132 to Wyatt Jacobs. So technically we had four wrestlers go undefeated for the day.
I was very proud of our wrestlers. We have a young team, but they are aggressive. They are also fast learners who have already developed a good base to build upon as the season progresses. I am very excited about the future of lion wrestling.
