Seminole Athletic Conference Tournament Recap:

The Huskies placed 5th as a team at this past Saturday’s SAC tournament and placed 6 out of 9 wrestlers, improving on our 6th place finish last year (with only 2 placers). While we are happy with the results, we are still not satisfied. There were a few matches where we left points out on the mat and didn’t always capitalize when the opportunity arose. As a team, we’ll learn from this tournament and use the positive momentum the next week and a half leading up to the District tournament.

This Week at a Glance:

Regular practice times all this week: 3:00 PM-5:00 PM

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Hagerty has been selected to host the Class 3A District 2 Tournament Saturday, Feb. 1. If anyone is available to help work a table as a clock operator or serve in the Concession Stand, please let me or Tammy Di Bernardo (tammydibo80@usasia-fl.com) know ASAP. We are also in need of items for the hospitality room, just like when we hosted the Rouse Invitational. If you can help in any (or all) of these capacities, please let me know.

Our team has been working hard this past summer, fall, and winter preparing for the REAL season: the FHSAA State Series! The District tournament is the first step in reaching our goal of winning a state championship. Can’t wait!
