Spears Named SACC Wrestler of the Week

First Newberry Wrestler to Win Honor This Season

Greenville, S.C. - After a perfect 4-0 weekend that saw him score 13 team points and help the Newberry Wrestling Team upset two ranked teams, Caleb Spears has been named the South Atlantic Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week.

Spears' perfect weekend started with a 5-3 decision over sixth-ranked Josh Jones of #3 McKendree, scoring three points in Newberry's 24-16 win. He then followed that up with a 6-2 decision against #13 Upper Iowa's Colter Bye that put the Peacocks in must-win situations the rest of the match, where Newberry sealed the match two bouts later winning by a final score of 25-18. 

On day two, although the Wolves didn't come away victorious, Spears still shined. He earned a major decision over Anthony Des Vigne of top-ranked Central Oklahoma and then closed the weekend with a 7-4 decision over #11 Billy Higgins of #5 Nebraska-Kearney. 

Spears now sits at a 10-3 record as he and the Wolves will face Coker this Thursday at 7 PM in Eleazer Arena as they head into the heart of conference competition.
