WLOX Reporter Tristan Ruppert once wrestled as an Ocean Springs Greyhound but his time with the team was anything but easy. Ruppert didn’t know if each year he wrestled would be the last year for the program. That was five years ago and the team is still fighting to keep wrestling alive in Mississippi. “Getting your hand raised on the mat is the greatest feeling because you know you’ve worked hard to get to that position and you came out on top,” said wrestler Bryce Bizzack.
