In some ways, it made him feel like an eighth-grader again. The 285-pound Delta senior wrestler, whose first love is football, began wrestling in sixth grade after he didn't make the basketball team. His appreciation for the sport grew exponentially when he went undefeated in eighth grade, an accomplishment which cemented his desire to continue the sport in high school. He didn't find the same success early in his high-school career, but qualifying for semistate last year as a junior has Schafer more dedicated to wrestling again, and the results have carried over into this season. Schafer (16-3) is slated to compete in the Delaware County Tournament at 5 p.m. today at Wes-Del. Click the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
