The Hagerty Wrestling Report (12.16.13)

Dear fans,

Thank you again for taking the time to volunteer for the 3rd Annual Johnny Rouse Invitational! Everyone’s hard work in the concession stand and hospitality room was evident and all of the coaches and officials expressed their gratitude towards making our tournament such a joy to attend. A big thanks to Dale DiBernardo & Ken Larison for directing our tournament and Tammy DiBernardo for coordinating the hospitality room.

Individual Results:

Several freshmen stepped up and wrestled varsity for us this weekend. Eric Nordahl (113 lbs.) went 1-0, Derek DiBernardo (170) went 2-0, and Matt Monroe (113) finished the day 4-0 with 2 pins and was named the team’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. Andrew Alvarez (Fr., 152), Cole Cook (Fr., 285) and sophomore Lane Miller (195) filled in for the team so we wouldn’t have to surrender any forfeits. Zach Larison (126 lbs.) and Scooter Duren (160 lbs.) both finished the day 5-0. All in all it was a great learning experience for our younger wrestlers and a big test for our upperclassmen. The team’s dual meet record is currently 8-10. We have a chance of finishing the season with a winning record. We wrestle 3 more dual meets in January and MUST win all three to finish 11-10. We need to commit to working hard over the winter break in order to accomplish this.
