Lisbon boys’ wrestling had about as good of a final week before the holiday break as any team could have. The Lions went 5-0 in two midweek duals, and won the team title at Saturday, Dec. 20, at the Regina Invitational in Iowa City.

“We had our guys come together and wrestle their butts off,” Lisbon coach Aaron Helmrich said. “It was great to win the title against Woodbury Central.”

Lisbon had eight wrestlers in the finals. (A few weights were round robins due to low numbers.)
