East Alton-Wood River Community High School

Jason Shaw loses in the state quarterfinals to Blakely of Dakota. Jason has had a fantastic career and can still wrestle back for a chance at third place in the state. OilerNation is so proud of you Jason. Keep your head up and keep battling!

Aaron Niemeyer loses in the state quarterfinals to Nelson of Richmond Burton. Niemeyer will head to wrestle backs where he can still work his way back for a chance at third place. OilerNation is so proud of this young man. If not for the pandemic, he would be the all time wins holder in Oiler wrestling history. Good luck the rest of the weekend Aaron. Hold your head high!
