The Wrestlers fresh from football, with only 6 practices under their belt managed a 2nd place finish in the 14 team Kingfisher Tournament.

They lost the championship by 5 points. Head Coach Russell Martin was very pleased with their shape but was most impressed with the effort of "our 13 wrestlers. We had 13 wrestlers compete and 8 of those placed in the top 5. What a wonderful bunch of kids, they work extra hard, complain very little, and get along great."

Tyran Brown, a State Runner up last year, finished 1st at 130 lbs. Ty was 8-0 with 6 falls in the tournament. He totally dominated his weight class. Ty pinned his opponent in the finals in the first period.

Kramer Simpson finished 1st at 145 Ibs. Kramer was 5-1 with 3 falls in the tournament.  He is continuing where he left off last year before injuring his knee and having surgery to repair it. Kramer avenged his lone loss in the finals with a major decision 13-2.

Ruben Jauregui made the first final of his wrestling career at 140 Ibs and placed 2nd.

Tyler Lickliter was the runner-up at 125 Ibs. Tyler looks very sharp but needs to wrestle better in the 3rd period, Coach Martin said.

Jake Love was 2nd at 171 Ibs. Jake had a good tournament with only one loss. He lost in the finals to the 4A state champ.
