The first tournament of the year was at Sparta and was against some tough competition. There were 16 middle school teams at the meet. Hastings brought home the 1st place  trophy, and had six wrestlers go 4 - 0 for the day.

Hastings defeated East Grand Rapids in the first round 108 - 0. In round two they met Forest Hills Central, and picked up another win 72 - 24. In the semi-finals round, Hastings went up against a tough Newhall team, and ended up with a 57 - 51 win.

In the finals, Hastings wrestled a very tough Lowell team. About halfway through, the team was down 27 - 45, but wrestled tough to come back for a 51 - 50 win to finish in 1st place for the day.
