Loss could spur Sklavanitis to new heights
Best yet to come
Here's a scary thought for future wrestling opponents of Oregon senior Brandon Sklavanitis: You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Sklavanitis, the Hawks' 170-pounder, has amassed a sparkling 36-1 record this season, including championships at the Polo and Stillman Valley tournaments. It was his lone loss this season, however, that could mean the best is yet to come.
On Saturday, Sklavanitis dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to Alleman's Sean Wetherell in the finals of the Bob Mitton Invitational in Orion. The wrestlers were ranked No. 2 (Sklavanitis) and No. 3 (Wetherell) in Class 1A by Illinois Matmen, and it's helped the Hawk realize he's got to bring more to the table against top-flight competition.
