Detroit Catholic Central's Robert Coe Wins State Wrestling Title

Four Catholic Central wrestlers win state crowns after winning team title last week.

Detroit Catholic Central's Robert Coe came home with a Michigan High School Athletic Association individual wrestling state championship Saturday after defeating Parker Tillman from Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central in the 285-pound final.

Coe won 3-0 after earning an escape and takedown in the final minute of the third period at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"There is no way I can describe it," Coe said. "It's not as good as winning tema states last week, but it's one of the best feelings in the world."
