Turner vs. Turner (Kalamazoo Gazette)

February 13, 2012

Occasionally, we see teammates facing off once the MHSAA individual wrestling tournament begins and everyone competes at his or her best weight instead of being juggled to create the best team line-up.

But much more infrequently do we see a situation like with the Turner brothers of Constantine, who faced off in a District final Saturday.

The Kalamazoo Gazette's Scott Decamp was there for older brother Aaron Turner's 9-0 heavyweight win over Andrew Turner, a year younger but 55 pounds heavier.
