The wrestling team did not have a bad day at the tournament. The good thing looking forward is, we are not losing too many of our best wrestlers outside of Sousa, Honaker, and Ja-Ja. Both team captains are returning as well as several first and second year wrestlers, who will be another year experienced.
The team could have been even better this year if injuries and some people deciding not to wrestle or quit hadn’t taken away a lot of our talent.

The determination and concentration the wrestlers have is truly unique. Although the tournament took place a while back, I want to congratulate the wrestlers on a hard fought season. Winning is not always everything; it’s what you take what you learn and apply it to life.
