Moeller at Elder wrestling

Two of the top Division I wrestling teams in the city will compete this Thursday night at Elder when top-ranked Moeller faces third-ranked Elder.

The match begins at 7 p.m. and will certainly be a good test for both teams during the early part of their schedule.

Moeller has nine returning starters, including senior Eric Gobin, a two-time state placer. Elder has four state qualifiers returning, including Tommy Pretty (119) and Orlando Scales (215).
