The Tri @ Heard ended up being a 1 on 1 Dual with Heard County... and with Villa Rica missing two varsity wrestlers from an already depleted lineup... the Dual ended up being more of a exhibition match trying to garner more time on the mats for our young wrestlers.
On to the results... much like against Carrollton, we ended up stealing 2 matches out of 6, which isn't too bad considering how young we are. I know I say that a lot, but it's true. 5 of our 6 varsity wrestlers that were wrestling are 1st year wrestlers. 4 of those guys are 9th graders! Trust me when I say we are building for the future and we will get better each year.
Anyway, Josh Ivey scored a nice come-from-behind decision victory to start us off in the right direction. Josh's match was very entertaining because his opponent was noticibly larger than Josh and literally drug Josh around the mat on several occasions and had him some very bad positions, but once again Josh's flexability bailed him out and he scored a nice takedown at the end of the match to win the decision. Kean Pettus scored the only Villa Rica pin of the night and did so in dominating fashion! It was apparent that Kean did not like his last several outings as he came out tonight with passion and hunger for a victory. The passion paid off quickly as Kean scored his pin in less than a minute of action! For scoring such a quick pin and coming in with obvious passion, I am giving the Fighter of the Night Award to Kean Pettus. Great job and welcome back, Kean!
Up next is the Carroll County Championships this Saturday at Bowden High School. Live fights start at 9am so PLEASE come out and support our guys! You won't be alone because I will be there with you. :)
