Lisbon girls wrestling continues to learn and evolve. Co-coach Seth Hall has been teaching his team to use “The Butcher” a top-position move to try and get your opponent on their back.
“My dad texted me, he knew we had been working on it in the room,” Hall said. “Then all the girls were using it. So, it is nice other people notice we are putting moves together.”
Lisbon finished eighth at the 16-team Zimmerman Invitational on Friday, Dec. 13, in Maquoketa. Central DeWitt won the team title.
The Lions were led by Addison Clark (140) who took second and Emma Dietsch (145) who was third. Clark lost to Ayla Osterkamp of Dubuque Hempstead in the finals by pin in 36 seconds.
“It was cool to see Addi in the finals,” Hall said. “She’s been working back from a knee injury.”
Lisbon girls’ wrestling gets to host its first-ever home dual Thursday, Dec. 19, in the Lions Den against West Branch and Union. And the Lisbon boys are wrestling, too.
“It is a big night for us,” Hall said.
