Hudson and Clinton wrestling will make their annual trip to Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo Friday and Saturday as both look to make runs for team state titles.
For the top-ranked Tigers, they’re in search of a third-straight title and 11th overall since 2009.
First up for Hudson will be a newcomer to scene, Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary.
The Cardinals defeated Cass City, 58-21, and Brown City, 64-18, to win the regional title and have one state qualifier in junior Ethan Wakefield.
It’ll be tall task for MLS as the powerhouse Tigers have 12 state qualifiers and six regional champions, including Chase Clark (113 pounds), Nicholas Sorrow (120), Cole Marry (138), Coy Perry (144), Austin Marry (150) and Logan Ryan (175).
Awaiting Hudson in the semifinal would be either perennial state qualifiers, Manchester or Bronson. Bronson defeated Springport (56-21) and Mendon (61-13) while Manchester took down Riverview Gabriel Richard (59-18) and Memphis (41-35).
The Flying Dutchmen have eight state qualifiers, including regional champion sophomore Sammy Stewart (126) while Bronson has six state qualifiers and a regional champion in junior Mason Lindsey (165).
