Freeland wrestling coach Mike Ritt likes what he’s seen so far from his team this year. The Falcons are 17-6 overall and 3-1 in the TVC Central. They have been successful at tounaments, winning at Hemlock; taking second at Meridian; and taking third at invitationals at Ovid-Elsie and North Branch and at the Saginaw County Wrestling Meet.
“The season has gone well to this point,” said Ritt, who is in his 15th year as the head coach. “I think that the rest of the season should go pretty well; like anyone else it will depend on health. So far so good.”
Ritt pointed out that his top three wrestlers this year are Kolten Radaz (sophomore, 125 pounds), Josh Schlak (senior, 135) , and Charlie Ferens (senior, 140).
“Each qualified for the state finals last season,” Ritt said. “We are optimistic that each will again qualify. Each of the boys has the tools to place in the top eight, and we have confidence that each will.”
