MC's Brill meets expectationsIt's hard to imagine the expectation for a high school wrestler to be any higher than for those who captured their first state title as a freshman.

Meet sophomore wrestler Bryce Brill of Mount Carmel, big toe, neck and all. Brill, the state's top-ranked Class 3A wrestler at 145 pounds, defeated wrestlers ranked third and fourth in the state in successive matches to capture the De La Salle Sectional title. This weekend, Brill took second place in the State at the State Championship in Champaign. Read more in the Northwest Indiana TImes.
