Airport wrestlers soar to title in Top Gun Tournament by winning both Most Valuable awards; May leads Bedford girls basketball to victory.
WARREN – It was fitting that the Jets were crowned as Top Gun.
Airport wrestling team went 4-0 and won the Most Valuable Wrestler awards for both the upper and lower weights in winning the Warren DeLaSalle Top Gun Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 10.
“It was definitely our best weekend all season,” Airport coach Jon Morris said. “We had a lot of kids go 4-0 and 3-1. It was a good team tournament. I was happy with our performance and the fight the kids showed.”
The Jets soared over Woodhaven 53-23, Dearborn Heights Annapolis 71-9, Anchor Bay 66-18, and Warren De La Salle 46-32.
