College wrestlers from Utah & Wyoming recall harrowing grizzly bear attack
Cedar City native Brady Lowry and Kendell Cummings from Evanston, Wyoming were with two of their Northwest College teammates, hunting for shed antlers on the South Fork near Bobcat-Houlihan Trail on Saturday.
As the group made their way down the trail, Cummings said they came across one area where Lowry told him a grizzly bear might be. Cummings was about 10-15 feet away from his teammate when the attack began. He said he stepped in to help, yelling at the bear and grabbing sticks and rocks to throw to get the animal off his friend.
"My heart sank, I took a few steps back and then it took one great big step towards me and knocked me on the ground, and then pushed me up against the trees and started chewing on me," said Cummings."That's when he started to get my head and my face," Cummings recalled."I thought I was going die, I was panicking," said Cummings.
