Reece Moore, a senior at Hamilton, has recently committed to University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for wrestling. Moore has been competing in wrestling for 14 years and is projected to fill the 125lb slot.
Austin Rehak, junior, says this about Moore: “Reece was always a leader for me because we have been around the same weight. He has always been there to help when it was needed.”
Easton Scorsone, junior, adds, “Reece Moore has always been a great leader and teacher in practices helping to coach all of the team up. He also brought great team morale to pick us up when we were down.”
Moore currently holds the school record for wins in a season, with a record of 44-4. He is also a three-time undefeated conference champion and was a member of two additional conference championship teams.
