DETROIT - Saline senior Brett Thornell finished his wrestling career where he wanted to be: on the all-state podium at Ford Field.
Thornell, one of the rare Saline Hornet wrestlers to achieve 100 career victories, wrestled in the MHSAA Division 1 Championships Thursday-Saturday, in the 135-pound division.
Thornell didn't get the start he wanted, falling to Reese Willing by pin in the opening round. But he fought back, winning three straight matches to guarantee his spot on the podium.
First, he defeated Milford's Grant Stec by a 10-4 decision. Then he won a 9-5 decision over Holt's Ralph Thompson. Thornell then pinned Brighton's Zak Knapp in the first period. In the consolation semifinal, Thornell was pinned by Hartland's Vinney Abbey.
In the battle for fifth place, Thornell lost an 11-4 decision to Davison's Cameron Freeman.
He placed sixth in his weight class (the top eight make all-state).
Thornell hoped to make all-state last year by a COVID-19 test kept him out of the state championship tournament.
Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 61 degrees. Fog during the morning, sunny for the afternoon, clear overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
I’ll answer then - not everyone. As for the candidate, I agree that the onus is on her to make it to the meeting. Six other candidates have rearranged their schedules to attend, it is not a requirement to give special consideration. Giving her credentials and resume during public comment was a good idea.
