AKRON OH- In the latest installment of YSN’s “Wrestling Wednesdays,” hosts Gary Althiser, Brydon “Squeek” Feister, Anthony Hartwig, and DJ Yokley delved into the inspiring journey of state wrestling champion Feister. Squeek, who proudly represented the YSN coverage area, shared insights into his triumphant path to victory in Columbus.

Reflecting on the moments following his championship win, Squeek fondly recalled the first thoughts that ran through his mind: finding his mother in the stands to share in that moment. It was evident that family played a pivotal role in his journey, from his brother, who served as his drilling partner, to his father’s influence and work ethic. Squeek’s journey was not without its challenges, including a bout with illness that saw him drop significant weight. Demonstrating resilience, he pushed through adversity, regaining strength and focus, highlighted by his strategic approach in the finals match. The hosts commended him for his determination, recognizing it as a true testament to his character and skill.

Beyond the mat, Squeek remains grounded with aspirations of becoming a four-time state champion and pursuing higher education. His humility and dedication serve as an inspiration to young athletes, making him a role model within the Hoban community and beyond. In a segment filled with camaraderie, humor, and admiration for the sport, the episode underscored the hard work and spirit required to achieve greatness in wrestling. The enthusiasm and support from the YSN team further highlighted the network’s commitment to showcasing local talent.
