With the end of their season and Senior Night approaching, the close-knit wrestling teams of Hazen are far from over.

Their Senior Night is at a home tournament, “Taking Down Pancreatic Cancer.”
Boys:
The Boys Wrestling team has had much success this season, with multiple wins at meets, and individual placements at invitationals. All the athletes have performed well this season.
