FREMONT — Collectively, the Zeerips have seen it all in the sport of wrestling.
Here’s something that Craig Zeerip and sons Justin and Collin had not seen prior to Wednesday: Each other as opposing coaches in a dual meet.
Fremont coach Craig Zeerip squared off with sons Justin and Collin Zeerip, co-coaches at Whitehall, during a West Michigan Conference tri-meet at Fremont. The sons’ team got the better of their pops’ squad, 54-17, but competition, respect and love were evident.
In other matches, Fremont defeated Montague (54-30) and Whitehall beat Montague (61-12).
DOUBLE-WINNERS
- Double-winners for Whitehall included Cody Manzo (106), Max Krukowski (126), Blake English (138), Ryne Christensen (144 and 150), Ryan Goodrich (165), Jackson Cook (190) and Shane Cook (285).
