Sherburne-Earlville junior wrestler Greg DuVall knew right away that he needed to make some changes. A two-time sectional wrestling champion in eighth and ninth grade, DuVall dipped to a fifth-place finish in the Section III, Division II tournament a year ago.

“The very next day (after the tournament), I got in the weight room,” DuVall said. “I realized I was too small for my weight class. I lifted three days a week over the summer and wrestled the other two days. I’ve continued that until today because I couldn’t let what happened last year happen again. I don’t think I’ve taken a day off since last season.”

The product of DuVall’s hard work is a bigger, stronger, and perhaps even better version of the grappler who is perhaps the Marauders’ best hope at bringing home a sectional championship.
