Senior Jacob Marrs and freshman D'Marion Erlenbeck started the day out strong at the MHSAA Individual Wrestling Regionals in Cadillac.

In his first match, Marrs faced Dylan Scholz of Waterford Kettering. He easily defeated the fourth place finisher out of District 10-2, winning the match by pin. He followed up the victory with a match against Metro League opponent Jase Grundy, a Linden senior. Marrs and Grundy faced each other in the finals of the Metro League Championships, with Grundy coming out on top by a score of 4-7. However, Marrs was able to avenge that loss with his own 7-4 victory, setting up a first place match against Easton Phipps of Goodrich. His 2-0 start on the day also guarantees Marrs his second trip to the MHSAA Individual Wrestling State Finals.

Erlenbeck, a freshman standout for the Mustangs, started his day against Jack Conley from Lake Fenton, who placed second in his district. Erlenbeck worked quickly to secure the win, pinning the higher seeded and more experienced senior in the first period. His second match was against Trevor Swiss, a 41-0 senior out of Petosky. Erlenbeck fought hard but unfortunately lost the battle by a score of 1-15. The loss sets up a blood round match between Erlenbeck and Gaylord senior Gus James. A win in the blood round would secure Erlenbeck's place in the state finals.

Keep grinding, boys!
