Fewell, Gonzalez earn wrestling honors

Saturday, March 11, 2017

One had to have a truly special season to be named to the All-Southeast Kansas League wrestling team for the 2016-17 school year as just seven of the 28 members did not win a medal at a State Tournament.

Fort Scott's Class 4A State qualifiers were both selected to the Honorable Mention team. Zarek Fewell, who was 24-8 and finished fourth, was named at 152 pounds. He was the only State medalist on the HM list only because the First Team selection, Pittsburg's Wes Jameson, was 31-7 and finished as Class 5A runner-up.

Mannie Gonzales, who was 11-8, was placed on the HM list at 126. He was also a State qualifier.
