There are a few more weight classes left to wrestle, but I thought I'd get in a quick update since our guys are done. We had 7 make it to the final round and we went 4-3 in the finals.

Overall I think we wrestled pretty well. We will need to get some more wins/points out of our upper weights if we want to compete for a regional title. Nice thing about that is we have plenty of time to do it. We saw some very good things out of our young boys and I am extremely pleased with our conditioning. It looks like we have a great shot to take third place. Sure it was disappointing not to bring home the big one, and thats what happens when you go 2 for 6 in the first round of the wrestle backs. I think the competition was pretty good this year. Sterling Newman brought a lot of quality guys as well did Gibson City. The Wilmington and Reed Custer crowed was missed as our stands looked a bit bare. Hopefully we can bring in some more teams next year with full lineups and who travel well. Back to the grind on Monday as we prepare for 4 duals next week. Hopefully we can avenge some losses from last year as we see Coal City, Lisle, Aurora East and Hampshire. We are at home for the last time until January 11th on Thursday so be sure to come check out the hottest sports team in Plano.
