Grosse Ile's wrestling team would rather forget last week.
The Red Devils were stunned by Flat Rock on Feb. 5, then went 0-4 at Saturday's Saline Super Duals.
The losses left Grosse Ile at 2-17 overall and 1-5 in the Huron League.
In Saline, Grosse Ile lost to Riverview (45-28), Dearborn Divine Child (45-27), the host Hornets (71-6) and Ypsilanti (48-26).
"It was a rough day," Grosse Ile Coach Rob Beaudrie said.
Saline won its tournament with five lopsided victories.
Chris Toulouse led the Devils by going 4-0 at 171 pounds. Larry Bohl (189) and Eric Schmidt (275) were 3-1, and Kelsey Hanson (103) and Rob Andrews (135) were 2-2.
Two nights earlier, the Devils lost at Flat Rock. The teams wrestled to a 41-41 tie, but the Rams (5-20, 1-5) held the tiebreaker edge in pins, 4-3.
Grosse Ile got pins from Hanson (103), Toulouse (171) and Bohl (189). Larry Mazzola (152) won a major decision, and Ryan Karran (112), Ryan Omaits (215) and Schmidt (275) accepted voids.

The Rams won on four pins, a technical fall and two voids.
Flat Rock Coach Jim Taraskiewicz was thrilled.
"They all showed up and gave 100 percent," he said. "They finally wrestled like they practiced."
Blissfield was supposed to be there to make it a tri-meet, but had to back out to make up one of its Lenawee County Athletic Association duals.
Grosse Ile finished its Huron League dual schedule last night against Monroe Jefferson, and will go to the league meet at 9 a.m. tomorrow at Jefferson.
From there, it's on to the postseason.
The Devils will wrestle at a Division 3 team district Thursday at Melvindale. In the 4 p.m. semifinals, Grosse Ile will face Gabriel Richard, while the host Cardinals will see Livonia Clarenceville. The final will follow, with the winner advancing to a team regional Feb. 25 at Madison Heights Lamphere.
Grosse Ile will go to an individual district at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 21 at Highland Park. The top four in each weight class will advance to the regional Feb. 28 at Williamston.
