Lamar Community College's Three for Two tuition discount program is returning for the summer semester.

Blood, sweat and tears were shed over the weekend as the County Line Rivals wrestled their final matches of the 2020 season. For a few, it will be their last match ever of competitive wrestling, for others it will be just be the end of another year as they move into their next sport. Regardless of the situation, the state tournament is always a bittersweet feeling. All these young men's hard work finally gets put to the test, and the rush of being on those mats in the middle of the Pepsi Center is like no other.

The tickets have been punched for the 2020 CHSAA State Wrestling Championship and seven of our very own County Line Rivals will try their odds at the big show.

Rocky Ford, the host team, dominated the tournament with 244 points. Lyons and Peyton earned 2^nd and 3^rd spots with 181 and 171 points respectively.
