Lodi, CA — Goddess of War has grown to be a premier girls tournament, teams are traveling to test themselves against this level of competition. Having said that, the 6x LadyWarEagles that battled with everything they had, showed up understanding their assignments and that was to learn something about themselves. That happens best when kids truly push themselves and we all learned quite a bit yesterday, all positive!! Cortney Bowman: you have found some gears we haven’t seen before and you’re putting things together. It’s awesome to watch you turn that light switch on Audrey Dip: what you know you make look easy on the mat when we all know nothing is ever easy on that battlefield. Keep grinding like you do! And keep bringing that positive energy every day!! Joell Ferguson: when we watch you battle, we also know your real battle and that’s what makes every one of your matches special. Powering through aches in The Kitchen on the daily, refusing to cave under the weight of pain you are the ultimate inspiration!! Antoinque Jaja: 4th place, you may think 4th place doesn’t mean much, I can see you expect more from yourself. The great ones are never satisfied and always feel compelled to do more. Knowing you have ambitious goals being a first year wrestler, I also know you’re not afraid to put in the work necessary and to stick your neck out and fail, knowing it will all ultimately lead to your success Ella Wurtzer: I know the day did not go how you had wanted but let me tell you something I hope you already know, you’re scary!! You are doing everything you should be doing and when things finally start clicking and you start firing on all cylinders, the rest of this wrestling community is going to know how scary you really are!! Keep up the excellent work ethic!! Dylan Xi: 2nd place, you consistently continue to get better every day You truly are a trained silent assassin, a true student of the art of grappling! You’re also what we call a bracket-buster, unseeded taking out highly seeded wrestlers Lady Eagles soaring high…
