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

Central Results

Well, it was a very tough night for our Wildcats. First, for the bad news (I usually prefer to end on a good note)... As a team we lost 22-54... individually every loss was via a pin (aside from Daniel Finni who lost via decision to a much heavier opponent). Now for the good news... Josh Ivey scored a very nice pin in the 3rd period after schooling the other guy for a couple of periods. Nice work Josh! Also, Keen Pettus scored a decision victory with a 15-2 win. Keen had his guy in some bad positions several times. As a matter of fact, he had a pin set and the ref was about slam his hand down for the pin, but the period ended. Oh well, it was a nice win anyway. Great job Keen!

Also, on at least two occasions I saw headgear malfunctions. In one case, Chris Enslow's face was completely covered by his headgear. I'm not sure if this caused him to lose the battle, but it sure didn't help him any! I must say that it did look kind of funny watching him shake hands with the other guy and his coach with his headgear still covering his face... I'm sure he has a different opinion. I'm not sure what happened to Connor Gibbs' headgear, but the next thing I knew it was flying 20 feet in the air! Pretty cool display, but probably need to adjust it so it stays on next time. Maybe the guys need to wear headgear during practice to make sure if fits properly?? Just an idea.

Anyway, next match is a JV match this Thursday at Bowden. Fights start @ 5pm.
