Cottonwood Heights • As bouts on the center mat of Brighton High’s gym took place on Wednesday evening, alumnus Scott Seiter sat with five of his former wrestling teammates from his days as a Bengal. All of them were in their mid- to late 20s and on hand to watch their old high school team face off against rival Hillcrest High.
Across the way, Don Neff, 74, who coached both Brighton and Hillcrest, and won multiple state championships, sat with several former wrestling coaches from all over Utah. The group of coaches reconnected in a get-together shortly before the meet, as Neff and former Hillcrest coach Tex Casto were honored.
