FORT ATKINSON - The Monroe wrestling team won 10 matches en route to knocking off Fort Atkinson 39-24 in a dual meet Friday night.
"From start to finish, we wrestled hard," Monroe coach Tom Witt said. "The message all week was this is a dual meet we could win."

Witt was excited by Wolf's performance.
"It was his best match he has wrestled in two years on varsity," he said. "He never got in trouble. He finished his takedowns. That is how he's capable of wrestling. He is turning the corner and getting better."
