QUESTION
Do you:
Leave and tell them the bus carrying the guys 'broke down'?
Tell the director
"EVERYBODY overslept"?
Say "Good Luck , guys" and head for the hospitality room?
Suddenly remember you left the oven
on and GO HOME?
Get ready for a battle?
ANSWER:
The Eagles got ready to battle and managed to finish 8th out
of 18 teams in a tournament featuring many STATE RANKED wrestlers. Scoring 112 points, the JV Eagles finished with 5 placers.
Led by Travis Weaver (135#), who made the finals, Allen wrestlers also claimed 4 third place finishes: Chris Wood 103#, Clayton
Thomas 119#, Christian Gurley 125#, and Sam 'Sam Sung' Srivattansanup (189#)
Congratulations to the Eagles on
a super job. You wrestled hard and demonstrated what Eagle Wrestling is about.
