Crimson Wrestlers, Managers, and Families-
Week Thirteen Recap:
Man! What a crazy dual. Despite being without some of our best wrestlers, we were right there and almost pulled off a great team win. Our guys were fired up and wrestled with a lot of heart. We won Seven of the 14 weights including some really impressive wins. The seven guys who got their hand raised included Connor Peterson, Rufus Bartee, Jayden Waste (1st Varsity win and 1st Varsity pin), Max Johnson, Noah Fox, Andrew Toms (after being out sick for the previous week), and Luis Haro.
The effort was there – but our margin for error was razor thin and when the dust settled, we came up just short.
Despite the overall result, we have some good momentum heading into an even bigger week. It’s time to take our wrestling to the next level at individuals!
Here are the details you’ll need to know for the week ahead:

Mat Boss Video Access:
Many wrestlers are now watching their matches on Mat Boss each week – which is awesome! This is a great opportunity for kids to learn from their matches and improve at a much faster rate than would otherwise be possible. Watching back matches can be a great learning tool and is highly encouraged. This is how that is done:
Here is a video showing you how to gain access to your matches:
