You guys all did great on Saturday! We had a number of first year wrestlers qualify and attend the State Tournament Saturday more so than any year in the past! Everyone had very tough matches and worked hard during the season to improve and learn more technique. To make it to State, is a major accomplishment. You participated in a tournament with some of the best wrestlers in the State.
Even the effort the past two weeks of post season practices has been phenominal. We had several team members who did not qualify for state, but stayed on to practice with those who had - that's team work!
Two Elementary Team members earned a State Title Saturday....
Gavin Pope - State Champion - U6 - 43lbs - Little Kids State
Kaitlyn Haug - State Champion - Grades 3-5 - 64-65lbs. - Team Georgia Girls State Tournament
(this is a double first, not only was this the first time we had a girl wrestler win a State title, but this is the first time there's been a Girls State Tournament in Georgia - Kaitlyn will be recorded as the first Champion for her division in the State of Georgia (Read What Team Georgia Has to Say - click here! ))
Titles well earned and well deserved by both of these wrestlers - Congratulations to you both!!
Congratulations to ALL of our Elementary School Wrestlers - what a great team of young wrestlers we have had all through out the season! You have all tried your best, done your best, shown sportsmanship, never gave up and above all, you have had fun!
