The Salem Wildcats are officially in the prep wrestling game. Last night they opened their inaugural season with a trip to perennial power Mt Vernon. And although the varsity team did not come away with the win, the night was about more than that for the program’s first head coach Brian Camp.
After the varsity contest there were some exhibition matches, and Salem was able to pull out a win as Wyatt Jones earned the pin fall victory marking the first win of any kind in the programs very brief history. Salem returns to action with meets in Centralia and Carlyle next week.
