Lindbergh senior Derek Massey (30-9) and junior Michael Slyman (29-1) have the two best records on the team.
In what may be the state's most difficult district wrestling tournament, Lindbergh High School is just hoping to prove it is still making progress. The District 1 Class 4 Tournament is at Northwest High School on Friday night and Saturday (10 a.m.). Ultimately, the Flyers hope several of their wrestlers are rewarded with a memorable trip to Columbia, Mo. for the state finals. Lindbergh High School has posted a 12-6 record in dual meets and coach Josh Hansel has clearly defined goals for districts. “We only want to wrestle well,” Hansel said. “If we qualify eight or nine guys then that’s great, or if we qualify two or three guys that’s fine, too. We only want to wrestle well. I want for our postseason to be about showing the progress we’ve…

Lindbergh junior wrestler Michael Slyman is hoping to surpass the impressive records of his father, Mike, who is a former Lindbergh state champion wrestler.
After losing his first match of the season two weeks ago in overtime during a tournament in Lee Summit, Lindbergh High School junior wrestler Michael Slyman used the long car ride back to St. Louis to tell his dad he had all the motivation he needed for the stretch run. His main goal? To beat dad, of course. Also named Mike, Slyman’s father is a former state champion wrestler from Lindbergh, where he now serves as the Flyers' athletic director. The elder Slyman dominated the high school wrestling scene in the 1970s, just as his son is doing now. He took second place in his junior year, and won the state championship his senior season after going 27-3-1. Now he’s a proud parent, watching as his son attempts to join him on the banners …

Lindbergh loses to Eureka after it drops five straight pins to finish the match in a 47-23 loss at Eureka High School on Wednesday night.
Getting into an early hole is nothing new for Eureka wrestling coach Tim Yancey. With a lineup that features most of his experienced and talented wrestlers in the upper weight classes, Yancey has already seen his Eureka squad fall behind several times only to come back for resoundingvictories. So with his team down 23-11 to Lindbergh after eight matches Wednesday night at Eureka High School, Yancey sat back and let his big boys go to work. And right on cue, Eureka rolled off five straight pins to finish the match for a dominating 47-23 win. "We knew in our upper weights, that's where we have most of our experience," Yancey said. "Our upper weights usually come through for us in the duels. Usually from around 152 to heavyweight, we're …
