High school track meets which Broadus was set to attend last week were not held, due to weather.

With eight wrestlers on the roster for the state tournament, Broadus Head Wrestling Coach Frankie Schoonover knew there was a chance at a team trophy, but it would take a full team effort to make such an event occur.

The last time Broadus achieved a team trophy in wrestling was in...
