Hullett, Catt win at league tournament

Sophomore Austin Catt grapples earlier this season at the JAWS meet. Catt stood at the top of the podium Saturday at the CAAC Gold League Tournament.

Trent Hullett and Austin Catt were champions for the wrestlers at the CAAC Gold League Tournament on Saturday.  
Hullett defeated Austen Droscha of Mason 3-2 in the finals and Catt pinned Brandon Foster of Waverly to win his weight class. Droscha is ranked 9th in the state.  
Western had finished 5-1 in duals and entered the tournament in second place but a difficult day ended with the Panthers in sixth place. The wrestlers had three starters out of the lineup with various injuries.  
"We just couldn't overcome the loss of three solid varsity wrestlers.  It's very disappointing," Coach Hoffman said.  
Chase Veydt and Tyler Ebersole finished in second place. Spencer Plate finished third, while Brock and Brady Hoffman were fourth.
