This is day two of the very large Independence, IA Mustang Wrestling Invitational. Wrestling started at 2 p.m. on Friday and continued well into the evening. More than 30 teams are taking part including Greene County High School wrestlers. Wrestlers were in pools on Friday and depending on how they did, were grouped into pools of eight with the Gold bracket being the top eight in each weight class with the Silver bracket the next eight, and the rest were assigned to the Bronze bracket.
