Greetings

Hello and welcome! My name is Chris Enslow and I am the father of one of our wrestlers at Villa Rica High School.

My plan is to follow the Villa Rica Wrestlers as they train and compete in the upcoming season. I will post tidbits and info, maybe some photos and videos too, as the season progresses.

I must warn you that this is my first attempt at blogging, so please bear with me. Also, please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions to help improve this blog.

Thanks!
Chris

ALX JV Tournament Results

We had another pretty decent showing by our JV squad this past Saturday. Most of the guys won at least a couple of matches to extend themselves into the tournament, but with at least 15 teams present you had to win several big matches against big schools with top wrestling programs in order to place. I was speaking with the parent of one of the wrestlers there from Creekview HS, and she said they had one varsity team at one tournament, their varsity "B" team at a different tournament, and their JV squad at this tournament. That alone should tell you type of opponents we had had to face.

In some of the first matches of the day, we had two wrestlers going at the same time just a few feet away from each other. Not only that, but Josh Ivey and Juan Batista both had their guys locked into cradles working for the pin... Josh scored first and got the pin... only seconds later the ref slammed his hand down in Juan's match giving him the pin victory as well.

"Fighter of the Night" award goes to our only placer at the tournament, Chris Rice. Chris placed 4th in a highly competitive 130 weight class! He did a great job of representing how far our young program has come under the tutelage of Coach Seeley. For those of you who don't know much about Coach Seeley, he hails from the great wrestling state of Ohio. In Ohio, wrestling is THE sport... rumor has it that kids are born there already wearing a singlet and headgear! Coach Seeley is bringing that Ohio wrestling passion to our team and it shows! I'm truly excited to watch the matches going forward and seeing the progression the team makes this season!

OK, before his Coach Seeley's head gets any bigger, let's move on to the next topic... Cass High School. We will head up to Cartersville tomorrow to take on Cass with both the Varsity and the JV squads. Fights are set to begin at 5:30pm, so make sure you leave in plenty of time... I am attaching a map link for those of you (me too) who don't know where Cass High School is located.
