Meanwhile, Fishers sophomore Damon Mele made history, as he became the first ever HCC champion for the Tigers wrestling program. Mele did that in style, as he won the 135-pound match with a second-period pin of ninth-ranked Zionsville junior Dusty Youngs.
“It feels pretty good. Building tradition is our No. 1 thing at Fishers, so it just feels good to help in that part,” the 20th-ranked Mele said. “I was just doing my inside reverse and caught him off guard and got lucky and took him to his back.”
