2007

ELITE EIGHT - 10 STATE QUALIFIERS - 4 ALL STATERS

Through consistent hard-nosed effort the 2007 team grinded out the most domininant Individual Sectional performance in Minooka Wrestling History.

Heading into the final round of the sectional tournament the Indians 11 Sectional qualifiers had managed to lose only 2 matches the entire tournament. Minooka sent 9 wrestlers to the Championship bouts and another in the 3rd place match.

10 State Qualifiers in all.
