Warrior Wrestling

Good showing at St. Amant Duals, but missing weights cost us top three finish
 The inability to fill a roster again kills us at a tournament. We were void in 189 and 215. This cost us dearly this weekend and cost us a bid in the championship round and then cost us in the 3rd place dual. We were 3-1 in our pool. We had wins against Dutchtown, Istrouma, and John Ehret. Unfortunately we lost to Catholic by 6 points. If we had our 189 and 215 we would have won. Those wrestlers only had to accept forfeits for us to win because Catholic High did not have wrestlers in those weight classes. So that moved us to number 2 in our pool behind Catholic. So instead of competing for 1st or 2nd we had to compete for 3rd or 4th. St. Amant beat us 40-33. So again the 2 voids cost us a place. This is very frustrating for our team and the coaches. We have 30 kids on this team and are unable to fill 14 spots. The kids that were there did what they could. The kids that were not cost us dearly. Commitment to this team and your teammates is critical. What are you doing to support your teammates and this team?
 I applaud the efforts of the wrestlers at St. Amant this weekend. They all got at least 3 matches with some wrestling as many as 5. That match experience is critical and those not present will find out how critical next weekend. The City tournament allows one wrestler in each weight class.
 A note to parents. We need to have a parents meeting this Wednesday after practice. It will take about 30 minutes. We need to discuss State plans and the Wrestling Banquet. This is a separate function than the school sponsored event. If you have questions please call me.
