Our Wrestling banquet will be held on March 8th at 6:30pm. Plano Christian Church will hos the banquet for us. We will have the banquet catered as well so there will be no need for bringing a dish.

Off Season
Hello Family,
I know that the season just ended but I also know that if we want to reach our team and personal goals, we will have to work very hard this off season. Starting today, we will have open mats on Wednesday's and Friday's to go over freestyle and greco wrestling. These two styles will greatly benefit your high school wrestling. The mat time will also prepare you for the upcoming off season schedule. Again, I am hoping that you will commit to at least 5 off season tournaments. Our open mat sessions will not be as intense as our regular practices and will end at 4:00pm.
On Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays there will be after school lifting with Mr. Heller. I will be there as much as I can for that time as well.
We need to have "Both Feet In the Circle" in order for us to achieve our goals, and that means we need to put in the work during the off season.
I am in the process of finalizing a date for our banquet. It will be held at Plano Christian Church this year and will be catered. I thought it might be nice to celebrate such an outstanding season with a little extra flair.

Travis earns All-State Honors and Places 4th
I apologize for the delay, but yesterday I turned off my phone and computer to spend the entire day with the family. We had a successful state tournament. Wes went 1-2 on the weekend and was 2 points away from placing. He had a great tournament and wrestled very well. I expect outstanding things over the next 3 years from Wes. Travis is the latest Reaper Wrestler to earn All-State Honors placing 4th at 140#. Travis wrestled outstandingly all weekend and although I know he felt short of his goal, I think that he should be proud of his season, tournament and career as a Reaper Wrestler, I know I am proud of him.
The season is officially over but the quest to win our first team regional is continuing. Fresh/Soph state is this weekend and any freshmen/sophomore who didn't qualify for the varsity state tournament is eligible to participate. There will be off season tournaments just about every weekend from here on out and we will of course attend a team camp again. We had a wonderful season, but still fell short of our team goals of winning a regional. We can't be satisfied with our accomplishments, we need to continue to work hard to reach our ultimate goal of bringing a big trophy home from the team dual state. Off season wrestling and lifting are two necessities to achieve this goal. I am challenging our guys to participate in a minimum of 5 off season tournaments and attend the Luther Team camp in July. If each of our guys can commit to this, it will mean an additional 20-30 matches of experience that will greatly benefit them for next year. I hope that you are all up the the challenge.
Details on the banquet will be coming soon.
