Madison’s Wrestling took a mini road trip up to Grove City, PA to compete in the Fred Bell Tournament. After an hour and thirty minute trip the boys get in and get ready to be weighed. Everyone made weight, the wrestling was to start at noon.
After the first round of the Fred Bell Tournament the team walked away with 5 wins from 5 different people, Bradley, Douglas, David, Brody, and Logan. Seven make it to the second round of the tournament.
Dominic Zirkle was only one away from placing in this tournament, it was upsetting that he did not place, but it shows that there is room for work. For all players. Douglas Bailey and Brody Arrundale wrestled to place third overall in the tournament.
This tournament was an eye opener for the rest of the season. It showed the coaches where the team needs room for improvement for the rest of the season. The last couple weeks is when the players need to push the hardest they can, especially the seniors. Coach Head said, “We lost some and we won some. We learned a lot about ourselves and what we need to improve going into the final stretch. Overall a great experience for our underclassmen and great competition for our seniors.” The team takes on the WRC Tournament February 3rd against 8 different schools, it is going to be a great day for wrestling and the whole team hopes to see you there. They need all the support they can get. This tournament shows who qualifies for states, which is a major goal for lots of players.
