If Team Titles were awarded at Regions, it would have been the Cougars on the receiving end of the Region 6 Title. Luke Rada won his 2nd consecutive title, while Kenneth Koenig won his 1st, to lead a Cougars' program that entered the day with only three champs in their history. In all, the Cougars are pushing five wrestlers through to the State Tournament, the most they have ever sent.
