Still King
After an unexpected Michigan state wrestling championship, all eyes are on Bullock Creek’s young and determined new leader Ryen Nieman as he tries to repeat the feat the following year.
In a state that celebrates the sport of grappling as Texans celebrate the pigskin, the pressure was mounting on the high school student to deliver; in the build up to the division 3 championship Nieman realized he’d be facing another defending state champion with an undefeated record.
“I’m getting kind to used to it down there,” said Nieman. “I get a bit nervous, but once you hit the mat, the adrenaline kicks in and I’m fine.”
