STERLING – As 4-year varsity starters, Sterling senior wrestlers Josh Villarreal and Curtis Lilly love it when their team relies on them for clutch victories. Both proved their mettle in the spotlight Wednesday night at Musgrove Fieldhouse.

Villarreal and Lilly won decisions in two of the final three contested matches of the night to seal the Golden Warriors' 34-30 victory over LaSalle-Peru.

"I love being the anchor, having the other guys look to me and carrying the weight of the meet on my shoulders," Lilly said. "I want that pressure on me to go out and get whatever I need – a win, a pin, whatever – to help the team win."
