This was a big week for you Wrestling Trojans. Wednesday 12/11 we triumphed over conference rival Ardrey Kell 48-27 in a hard fought dual to improve our conference record to 4-0 and overall record to 5-0. We accomplished this feat with pins from Jonavan Harris, Dequorian Merchant, Kailyn Toussaint, Paulique Noble and Bryce Times. We also had victories by decision from Landon Bean and Colby Schefers as well as wins by forfeit from Amon Ellis and Amir Haynes. This was the first match back in a while from Paulique and Bryce after battling injuries and Jonavan was also hobbled but pushed through to earn victories. All of these were needed in the tough test.

Friday and Saturday we hosted the Al Kessie Invitational. Our varsity team finished 3rd while resting several injured starters. Landon Bean was the 106 lb champion improving his record to 12-2 on the season. Amon Ellis finished as runner up in the 120 lb class and is up to 16-3 on the season. Amir Haynes (160 12-2), Colby Schefers (145 17-5), Kailyn Toussaint (195 3-2), and Bryce Times (285 8-6) all picked up bronze medals on the weekend. On Saturday Alexei Martinez, Carlos Bautista, Kameron Day, Christian Bell, and Sebastian Benitez all competed for our JV squad.

Next week we will take on West Mecklenburg High School to try to improve to 5-0 conf., 6-0 overall Wednesday 12/18. Friday/Saturday 12/20-21 we will compete in the Clash at the Creek at Mallard Creek High School. Varsity will wrestle Friday and Saturday and JV will wrestle Saturday only.
