Rhinelander head coach and Lakeland alum Nathan Piasecki delivered a lengthy speech, honoring Handrick and recounting some light-hearted stories. The schools established the Handrick Hammer trophy, which will be the annual traveling trophy the teams will wrestle for each year.
"Tonight, I really want to give a special gratitude to Mrs. Handrick, Tommy's brothers, son and relatives. I also want to say thank you to LUHS and RHS for supporting this new tradition and memorializing a great man," Piasecki said.
