North Kingstown Skippers

North Kingstown High School proudly hosted the annual Hiebner Cup last night, bringing together the Wickford and Davisville Middle School wrestling teams for a spirited in-town rivalry under "the light".

Established over a decade ago, the Hiebner Cup honors the legacy of Coach Stephen Hiebner, whose dedication and leadership played a monumental role in building and strengthening the middle school wrestling programs in North Kingstown. Following a courageous battle with cancer, Coach Hiebner passed away in October 2017, but his impact on the wrestling community continues to be felt.

This event is held each year with great respect and purpose—to unite both middle school programs, provide student-athletes the opportunity to compete in a high school environment, and celebrate the wrestling culture that Coach Hiebner helped create.

Thank you to all the coaches, parents, and student-athletes who attended and contributed to another memorable and meaningful Hiebner Cup.

Congratulation to WMS for taking the cup home for the first time!
