Many of the wrestlers on the Lexington Minutemen Boys team performed very well in the first few rounds of the District Tournament this past weekend in Higginsville, but things took a turn for the worst, as the team had some tough luck on the final day, and failed to qualify any wrestlers for this week’s State Tournament.
