On the Mats: Columbus East Hosts North in Wrestling Showdown

It’s rivalry night on the mats as Columbus East hosts Columbus North in boys’ and girls’ wrestling. The Olympians, sitting atop the rankings at #1 in Class 3A, are pinning their hopes on a flawless season as they face a Bull Dogs squad hungry for an upset.

East’s Tyler Lake, fresh off a dominant pin at 175 pounds last year, will look to set the tone once again. Meanwhile, North’s lower-to-middle weights, led by Jason Shuey and Justice Thornton, hope to capitalize on their strengths to keep things close. East has been unstoppable this season, boasting a 12-0 record, while North enters with momentum after sweeping their own invitational.

With every match counting toward bragging rights and postseason positioning, tonight’s dual promises to be a takedown-filled thriller. Action starts at 6:30 p.m. for the girls and 7:30 p.m. for the boys at Columbus East.
