"I would like to thank my parents Bob and Casey Daniels, they have always been supportive no matter what sport I am in," Daniels said.

They want all of us to become the best men we can be."

He placed first place in IHSA 2A Regionals at Mascoutah. Daniels also advanced to the IHSA state meet last week at the Mascoutah Sectional, placing third.

"This is my fourth year wrestling," Daniels said. "What I like the most about wrestling is that you and one their person are going onto the mat and only one of you is going to come off a winner. Whether you win or lose, you still gain knowledge and know what not to do or what you should have done.

"My high school career and involvement in sports has helped me grown in maturity and has helped me out of my shell and talk to people I normally wouldn’t talk to."

Daniels doesn't plan on playing any sports in college. He plans on attending Lewis and Clark Community College and major in nursing.
