A program on the rise
Title in Hillsdale is just the start for Northwest wrestling program according to Gumbert By Mike Moore Staff Writer Jackson – Wrestling remains one of those sports where veteran leadership, or that veteran presence on a roster, is one thing. But just having veterans to throw their weight around is another. The Northwest squad has neither, which makes what the Mounties are doing this winter even more spectacular. “We only have one varsity senior, but a real good group of younger guys and freshmen,” coach Bruce Gumbert said. “I think, when you look at what we’ve done, it’s a little better than any of us expected. And that’s mainly because of how young we are.” The Mounties’ season was going just fine up until the holiday break, and then came the exclamation point — so far. On Jan. 2, the team went to Hillsdale for the Dan Taylor Invitational, and when the dust settled, sat alone on top in the 15-team event. The Mounties earned the top spot with a team score of 178.5.

Well, Dan Crowley put it in much simpler terms. “That’s Shonte,” Crowley said. “That’s what Shonte does.” Suddeth scored a game-high 23 points at home Tuesday, anchoring a number of big runs for the Vikings in what eventually was a 57-43 victory over the Titans. “Always a big win,” Crowley added. “We had to win this one at home.” “It was what we expected,” Lumen coach Pat Neville said of the high paced, back-and-forth game. “Watching them play, it was the tempo we expected. But I thought we did a good job keeping it a half-court game at times. We mixed in some zone, and we made some big shots.” Suddeth hit an early 3-pointer, and it seemed to ignite the Vikings, who started the game on a 14-3 run. But after Neville used a…
