ONAWAY, MI -- You've heard the saying "tough men wear pink."

We've found a bunch of tough teenagers in Onaway who will be wearing pink as they take the mat.

Onaway is hosting their annual wrestling meet Wednesday, and there's a bunch of pink in the gym and on the athletes.

This was an idea generated by a group of girls at the school and the Onaway wrestling coach to help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness.

And wrestler's in pink -- they're loving it!

"They're more excited about it than they should be, that's what I'd say about that, and so are the other teams that are coming actually. We've had a good response with other teams, everyone's in the mood, and it should be a pretty fun time," said Mark Grant, the Onaway Wrestling Coach.

"I'm really excited, it's going to be a lot of fun, we've been planning it for a while, stressing, but we're really excited," said Onaway senior Rebekah Cope.
