Page 8 www.thecr.com The Commercial Review Setting big goals Jay County High School wrestlers have high hopes for individual accomplishments and team success By RAY COONEY The Commercial Review Mason Winner expects a state medal, preferably the one that places him atop the podium. It’s a given that the first Patri - ot wrestler to medal in each of his first three seasons would have a big goal. But he’s not the only one. A pair of other seniors are hoping to rebound for strong final seasons and the girls wrestling program continues to grow. Winner is on track to become the most decorated wrestler in Jay County history, as he is already one of only two three- time state medalists for the Patriots. He finished fifth at 182 pounds last season after taking eighth at 160 in 2018 and sev - enth at 140 in 2017. (The other is 2014 graduate Eric Hemmel - garn.)
