Coach Mark Oliver’s Comments

Head Coach Mark Oliver offered the following comments about Auburn High School’s wrestling efforts in last Friday’s and Saturday’s B-3 District Wrestling Tournament hosted by Fort Calhoun High School, “The Bulldogs qualified three wrestlers for this weekend’s state meet in Omaha. Auburn was led by Jalen Maher, who finished as district champion at 106 pounds. Jalen gutted out two one-point wins in the semifinals and the finals. His semifinals win was sealed with a come-from-behind reversal with 20 seconds left in the bout. It was another war in the finals. He wrestled from the lead the entire match and put himself on the top of the podium for the first time in his career. Jalen can make some noise at state next week.
