Metro Detroit Wrestling Roundup: Oxford's Prescott Line one of six Metro Detroit wrestlers grabbing an individual state wrestling title
March 4th, 2012 12:17AM
AUBURN HILLS -- Prescott Line left The Palace the same way he did last year: As a state champion.
Capping off his undefeated season, Line beat Wayne Memorial senior Dimitrus Renfroe with a 5-1 decision to defend his 215-pound title.
"Last year, I don't think anyone expected me to win it," Line said. "Senior year, just to do it again, it just feels awesome. Two years in a row."

Prescott Line’s wrestling career came to an end Saturday. This fall, he’ll join the Southern Methodist University football team.
But the Oxford senior finished in the best possible way - with his second straight MHSAA individual championship. Line defeated Wayne Memorial’s Dimitrus Renfroe 5-1 in the Division 1 Final after also winning at that weight in 2011.
"Wrestling made me a better person. … (It develops) mental toughness, and it works on your one-on-one competition a lot," Line said. "It’s a great sport."

Congrats, Prescott. That's an outstanding accomplishment!
I'm looking forward to seeing you continue your athletic exploits on the gridiron at SMU.

That's two incoming Mustangs who won state wrestling championships as seniors!
From the Coppell ISD website:
Sam Rice, CHS senior, won the 2012 UIL Texas State Wrestling Individual Championship in the 285 pound division at the state tournament in Austin last weekend. Rice dominated his competition and finished the season undefeated with a 41-0 record.
