Six coverage area wrestlers went into the regional wrestling rounds this past Saturday, Feb. 20, in Bronson and now only two wrestlers remain on their quest for a state wrestling title journey.
Blissfield junior wrestlers Caleb Bangerter and Noah Nieman finished a respective second and first place in their wrestling weight classes to qualify for an appearance at the Palace of Auburn Hills, March 3, 4 and 5 for the Michigan High School Athletic Association division-four wrestling state meet.
This will mark Nieman’s second trip to the Palace of Auburn Hills, having finished third overall in the state last season.
This will be Bangerter’s first state meet appearance, as he bowed out in the regional rounds last year.
