Wrestling Team Splits Tri-Match

From Coach Pitman

 

The wrestling team went 1-1 Wednesday (December 5th) with a win over Little Miami 59 to 18 and a loss to Cooper 30 to 48

 

Record 3-4

 

A special recognition goes to sophomore Jacob Demott who earned his first 2 career wins with pins on Wednesday evening.

As a coaches we get very excited as our athletes accomplish milestones, records, and special moments in their lives.  Jacob's first victory was very special to his teammates, coaches, family, and to Jacob. He is someone who has worked hard to improve. He never won a match last year and never went an entire 6-minutes. This year he accomplished both feats. Earning your first win is a special moment for a wrestler, and is extremely rewarding for a coach.  The smile upon his face, after his hand was raised, was why we coach the sport of wrestling. There is absolutely no better feeling!
