Syracuse, N.Y. — Sam Sorenson rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the Homer’s 49-35 win over Chittenango on Friday night. Less than 24 hours later, the two-time defending state champion wrestler was wrestling in the Elite 8 Duals in College Park, Georgia.

“We drove to Rochester right after the football game. Got to Rochester at like 11:30,” Sorenson said. “We stayed at one of my dad’s buddy’s in Rochester and then we flew out at 6 the next morning and got down to Atlanta at like 8:00 and weighed in at like 8:30.”
