THE FRONT ROW with JASON ELLIOTT: Griffin finds love for wrestling at NIC

“You never have to worry about him when it’s time to rock and roll,” North Idaho College wrestling coach Derrick Booth said of Griffin. “I’ve never been around an upper weight guy that has studied and worked as hard as he does. He was really behind when he got here. But he’s really put in the time and work to continue to get better. He’s a really gifted athlete and has a good foundation to work from. He’s getting his feel against high-level guys, and once he catches up to them, he’ll be tough to beat.”
