What a FULL weekend for our wrestling team.  We had 5 events in 2 days, four were tournaments and a home dual meet with a red hot Reed Custer team.  Friday, Our 3 girls were at a big Pontiac tournament, and Aubree had a solid pin, while Addie was on a roll with two quick pins going 2-1 and taking 3rd place.  Avery Crouch was in her Zone, and had a tech fall and 2 pins in around 3 minutes, capturing 1st place confidently.  The next day, our Boys competed at Pontiac Senior Gavin Bafia and Freshman Dalton DeLong earned 3rd place finishes giving strong performances with valiant efforts.

In Thornton Township High School, our boys competed in a JV tournament with some 2&3A schools and won several matches.
EJ Hensel got his first few wins of this young season.  Jayden Gomez turned the corner and controlled his opponents with a few impressive wins, and his first medal taking Fourth place.  Sawyer Kucera showed great defense not giving up any points besides some takedowns.
Saturday, Adilynn Avilez made it look easy with her physical style making her opponents give up, and receiving a bracket and first place honors with three wins.  Avery Crouch continued her consistent high pace offense en route to her three wins and another 1st place medal.  Aubree Stein, showed tremendous heart in her very close and competitive matches taking home fourth place.

Adilynn Avilez had another pin tonight in dominating fashion.  Avery Crouch was 2-0 tonight with a pin that would have been a tech fall had the ref not slapped the mat.  Gavin Bafia had a tech fall in his first match and got caught in his second going 1-1.  Dalton DeLong looked strong and lost a high scoring affair in the final seconds against a Senior after receiving a win by forfeit earlier in the night.
