By Keelen Barlow
The No.1 ranked Brownsburg varsity wrestling team traveled to Brighton, Michigan on December 14 for the Grappler Gold Invitational. The Bulldogs finished third in the tournament which featured four other nationally ranked programs. The fourteen programs who competed at the tournament combined for a total of 74 wrestlers who are ranked for their respective weight class.

The Bulldogs, who finished ahead of two nationally ranked teams, took home two individual titles at the tournament as 138-pound Drake Campbell and 285-pound Dorian Keys both finished atop their weight class. Brownsburg had a wrestler finish in the top eight in all but one weight class at the tournament.
Campbell and Keys are the lone Brownsburg wrestlers who are still undefeated on the season following their tournament crowns in Michigan. After a bye in the first round, Campbell won his next two matches by fall before winning the 138-pound final 10-0. Keys was tied for the most pins in the tournament as he won three of his four bouts by fall.
Keys' finish atop 285 proved to be crucial as it put Brownsburg ahead of Lowell by a single point.
