Shelby earned a strong fourth-place finish at the Grand Haven
Invitational Saturday, buoyed by a pair of finals appearances from stars
Brody Fessenden and Jaylin Henderson.
Both Tiger wrestlers were
impressive in their runs to the finals. Henderson recorded pins against
each of his first three foes at 165 pounds, and only a 5-2 decision
defeat to St. Joseph's Riley Halverson kept him from reaching the top of
the podium. Fessenden defeated his first three opponents by technical
fall, medical forfeit and by pin, falling to Muskegon's Lamar Bradford
in a tight 7-3 decision in the finals.
Nash Hagstrom (138) and Cesar
Cadena (120) added third-place finishes for Shelby. Hagstrom rallied
from a defeat in his first match to win four matches in a row and take
third, three of them bonus-point victories. Cadena reached the
semifinals on his way to a 4-1 record, scoring a pin and a major
decision among his wins.
