Ottewe High School wrestlers balance weight and grit
Coach Derrell Bourque trains 27 wrestlers from ninth to seniors weighing 98 to 270 pounds. Wrestlers must fit weight classes with doctor certified weights and limits, while some skip meets or fast for weight. Senior Lowell Kissinger, 270 pounds, notes big heavies reach 400 pounds. Officers and students discuss discipline, diet, and the need to balance after school activities with sport.
