You never saw Taylor Massa wrestle?
April 12, 2012
Well, here's another chance. Packing away our winter notes and video, we came across footage shot during the MHSAA Team Wrestling Finals on Feb. 25 at Battle Creek's Kellogg Arena.
The main attraction is a close-up match featuring St. Johns senior Taylor Massa, who finished his high school career last month with a four-year record of 221-0. But there's also full video of a win by Detroit Catholic Central's Kevin Beazley -- the eventual Division 1 champion at 189 pounds -- plus a glimpse of the pre-Finals Grand March and a look at the scene as a whole for those who haven't visited before.
Also, many of the accomplishments from this season have been updated in our online MHSAA Record Book. Check them out, and help us fill in where needed by following the directions at the top of the listing.

As wrestling season begins its postseason run this week, a number of four-year standouts will be drawing close to the end of their high school careers. And at least a few have totaled the kind of records and statistics that would place them in the MHSAA wrestling record book.
Today we've added season and career listings for former Otisville-Lakeville standout Zac Pyles, who won 194 matches from 1996-99, including a Division 3 championship at 130 pounds as a senior.
