Team places 3rd at 3A District 3 Tournament, qualifies 9 to Regional

Nine out of our thirteen wrestlers placed in the top four of their respective weight class this past Saturday, which means that they will move on to next weekend’s Regional Tournament. To score as many points as we did in a district that has always been traditionally tough may have been a surprise to those on the outside looking in, but if you have been in our practice room the last several weeks you would have seen a group of focused young men who made the decision to choose victory.

A huge thanks to everyone involved in hosting the District Tournament: our administration, athletic department, tech support, and local community businesses all contributed to making sure we had everything we needed to run this tournament. To all of our parents who volunteered their time running computers, working in the concession stand, and providing items for the coaches and officials’ hospitality room: THANK YOU! Another thanks goes out our JV wrestlers and teams who provided table workers. The wonderful support system here at Hagerty made this tournament another successful one, and if I didn’t get a chance to personally thank you yesterday, let me say it here: “Thank you!”
