Indians battle back but fall at 'Creek

Tecumseh’s varsity wrestling team won the last three matches of the MHSAA Division 2 team state semifinal but finished just two points shy of catching up to Greenville to end its season.

The Indians (41-3) were down 31-19 when they began a big comeback with Chase Lewis winning by decision (9-6) at 112 pounds to set the score at 31-22. Collin Lesko followed at 119 pounds and he also won by decision (4-0) for another three points (31-25). His younger brother Anthony Lesko competed in the last match of the semifinal at 125 pounds and despite taking a win by major decision (12-2) the Indians lost 31-29.

The No. 1 ranked St. Johns (31-0) advanced to face No. 2 ranked Greenville (33-2) in the Division 2 championship final beginning at 4 p.m. Hudson (44-3) advanced to wrestle Hesperia (30-1) in the Division 4 championship final. Complete results will be reported in next week’s Tecumseh Herald.
