Middle School Wrestlers Lose Opener at Nixa

Republic’s middle school team wrestled well, but lost its opener to Nixa 62-44. The 18-point margin for Nixa was more lopsided than it could have been, because Republic did not have wrestlers competing in several of the lower weight classes. Those forfeits gave Nixa a 24-point advantage to start.
