The Cloquet-Esko-Carlton wrestling team may be low in numbers, but they are high in talent. Last Tuesday the Lumberjacks took on Mille Lacs and came away with four wins in the five matches that took place at Cloquet High School small gymnasium. "That's kind of been our M.O.," said coach Al Denman. "We just don't have the overall number of wrestlers that most schools do, so we lose points for every weight class that we can't put someone on the mat. But our kids that do get out on the mat are very...
