COLLINSVILLE – The “hometown” Collinsville Kahoks defeated the Alton Redbirds on their home wrestling mats Wednesday night. Alton brought a talented squad to the contest but the Kahoks were just too strong throughout the weight classes.
Collinsville wrestling coach Alex Taylor said of his team’s win, “I’m really happy with the way we performed. I know there were a lot of forfeits (tonight) but even in those matches we competed really hard.”
Taylor went on to say, “Last year this team, (Alton), really beat us pretty bad so it’s nice to see the leaps and bounds we’ve made as a team.”
Alton wrestling coach Eric Roberson said after the meet, “We’ve got a long way to go. We have a few individuals who are having success but also we’ve got some inexperience out there on the mat.”
Both coaches were optimistic about their team’s future with lots of young wrestlers coming up next year.
