The Nevada Middle School wrestling team traveled south to compete in Monday’s Joplin North Middle School duals — Nevada’s fourth meet of the season.

“Our young men wrestled very hard (Monday) night,” said Nevada Middle School wrestling coach, Josh Smith. “I was very impressed with how well they fought through adversity and wrestled hard from the first whistle to the last whistle.”

Added Smith: “They fought each and every match and made Nevada Tiger wrestling very proud.”
