CEDAR RAPIDS -- In the midst of loss, the Cedar Rapids Kennedy wrestling team has managed some wins.
The Cougars have managed some success the last month, persevering the unexpected death of a beloved coach at the start of the season. Kennedy has a 5-5 dual record and defended its team title at the Fort Madison Invitational before the holiday break.
Kennedy Coach Brent Paulson said the team and coaches lost a "mentor" and "great friend" with the unexpected death of Cougars assistant Jeff Clark on Nov. 27, which came just months after suffering the loss of sophomore Drake Brown who died in August. Clark's brother, Kyle, is also a member of the Kennedy coaching staff.
