Gladstone Wrestlers Overwhelm Escanaba, 66-12
 ESCANABA---The Gladstone High School wrestling team stayed undefeated on Thursday, posting a 66-12 dual meet victory over the Escanaba Eskymos in Escanaba. The Braves improved to 15-0 in dual meets on the season, having also won the Super Dual Tournaments earlier this season in Munising and Kalkaska. Escanaba, meanwhile, continues to suffer from dwindling numbers, with two senior members of the squad leaving the team this week alone.
