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

West Georgia Holiday Classic Results

Another 10+ hours of riding the pine (actually it was cold aluminum, but "steel" very hard) and my back is screaming "UNCLE"! Motrin is my friend during these long weekend tournaments... :)

On to the results... According to a few of the guys (to protect the guilty I will leave them anonymous), "If this was last year, we wouldn't have had any reason to come back on Saturday!" Well, that was last year. This year, we're a much better team!

We had THREE placers this year!

Chris Enslow - 2nd Place
Daniel Finni - 4th Place
Josh Ivey - 4th Place

These guys did a great job of representing Villa Rica Wrestling in a VERY tough tournament that was full of top notch schools! Chris Rice and Kean Pettus also did a great job in the tournament. Rice showed that his wrestling skills are still improving by picking up 2 nice victories. Kean Pettus did a great job of avoiding disaster by not losing to a girl! Chapel Hill brought a VERY tough female 135 wrestler to the tournament that was beating some of the boys. When I heard that Kean was matched up with her, I couldn't do anything but laugh... oh, and I prayed a little bit, too! LOL - Kean went on to beat her by a decision.

My Fighter of the Night award has to go Daniel Finni. He came back to the varsity lineup while still suffering from cauliflower ear. He also picked up a couple of wins, one of which was by pin to take fourth place in a weight class that seemed to be very tough! It was nice to see him bring his senior leadership back to the mat.

Next up is the CRWA JV Invitational at Newnan High School on Monday, Dec. 21st. All 8th and 9th grade wrestlers need to be at the high school BEFORE 7:15am (Bus leaves at 7:15am).
