“There is a light at the end of the road.”

Week 15. Practice #60-65. We are finally here, the last week before the official start of the FHSAA State Series. Districts is the first step for our wrestlers’ goal of winning an individual State Championships. Everyone’s record is reset to 0-0 and every Saturday from here on out becomes WIN or GO HOME. I cannot think of a more exciting time to be a coach than during next few weeks!

JV State Championships Re-cap:

Our 1st & 2nd year underclassmen wrestlers competed at the JV State Tournament in Osceola HS. One lesson all of the wrestlers took from this experience is how important it is to fight for every point, be it a takedown, escape, reversal, or turn. As a team, it is our mission to wrestle as “hostile” as possible when we are on the mat.

Eric Nordahl (Fr): 2-2
Alex Martinez (So): 0-2
Robert Beattie (So): 0-2
Patrick Hicks (Fr): 0-2
Ben Bacosa (Fr): 1-2

We will need to set up the Gym for Saturday’s District 3 Wrestling Tournament after the Boy’s basketball game.
We should be finished setting up the GYM no later than 10:30 PM. Please plan accordingly with your wrestler and help ensure that they arrive to practice on time and are available to set up. We will be setting up three mats in the Main Gym, which is half of what we needed to do for the Rouse Invitational. If any wrestler needs a ride home after practice, please let me know and Coach Cherenfant or myself will take them home.

Sat (02.01.14): District Tournament (all times have been set by the FHSAA)
