Wrestling - We learned last week that there is a weight class for everyone in wrestling. Here are a few more tidbits: Wrestling is not a combat sport and it doesn't involve striking, but it is a full-contact competition where technical ability is rewarded by earning points. Wrestlers use speed, balance, conditioning and strength to overwhelm the defense of an opponent. There are 2 ways to end a wrestling match: By outscoring your opponent, or by pinning them. This year’s team will be starting up soon and there will be a wrestling meeting tomorrow at lunch in room 307. No experience required – bring a friend!
Football - This Thursday at 4:00 pm our Sr. Boys football team will host their first home playoff game vs GFESS.
