Last week on Janauary 26th, 2023, the Pointer wrestlers celebrated senior night and hosted a triangular against Evansville and PDC. First up to wrestle were Mineral Point and Evansville with Mineral Point winning 40-33.

Next up were Evansville and PDC. 

Lastly, Mineral Point and PDC wrestled, with PDC winning 46-23.

After the second dual, Evansville and PDC, the Pointers introduced the seniors and their parents onto the mat, followed by pictures and a heartwarming video. Coach, Curtis Fiedler, added some words of his own, “So this is special because it’s the first group I had here at Mineral Point. They were freshman when I was first named head coach here so it’s a special group to me. To have these kids come all the way through and to be able to be a part of these kids’ lives, if only for four years, and be able to do what I can to hopefully point them in the right direction. And you know I can’t wait to see how much these kids accomplish after high school, because if it’s anything close to what they’ve accomplished as wrestlers and as students at Mineral Point, they’re going to be in real good shape.”
