Our Senior night was a great success. We recognized two female
wrestlers Gabby Akers and Taylor Sura. Both Gabby and Taylor won their matches on the night. On that night Gabby Akers won
her 100th match for her career. Gabby has been a phenomenal asset for our Wildcat program, she has set the standard of excellence
on and off the mat for our Girls wrestling program. Gabby has led our girls team in the last two years to a conference title,
a state dual team berth and as of right now an overall record of 26-6 in two seasons. Our girls are working hard and are wrestling
in the girls state dual tournament this upcoming weekend.
Our boys seniors have done a great job leading our team this
year. Cameron Coble, Chase Cashatt, Angel Carmona-Luna, Anthony Stanley, Braxton Stewart, and Mason Leonard. These guys have
continued to lay the foundation for our program.
Our mindset of “brick by brick” is being led by great kids. Every senior has worked
extremely hard to lead this young team. Right now, our guy’s record is 30-2 on the year, we still have a chance to win
the conference and make a run in the state dual team. Our guys are working hard and believing in themselves, it has been a
joy watching our guys lead and seeing our young guys really pick it up. We have had some big injuries this season on the boys
team. We lost two great wrestlers due to injuries in Mason Leonard and Angel Carmona-Luna. Those two guys have been a backbone
to our success this year.
Our three other seniors Chase, Cameron, and Anthony have done a phenomenal job leading in their absence. Our team
is on a path to winning a conference title, something that hasn’t been done since 2016. We have finished second the
last three seasons and our guys have been hungry all year long about finally putting up a banner. They have worked hard and
stuck together through a lot of adversity.
Wednesday at Thomasville we get a chance to finally get over the hump and win a conference title.
We would love to have a big crowd and a sea of blue supporting our teams next week. Match time will be 6pm.
