Sam Snider’s Wrestling at Missouri Update

Featured Stories, Team FYN Sports

Here is some news for all the GHS friends that support the GHS wrestling team. The Bobcats won the team camp championship with a one point win over multiple time Missouri state champs, Neosho. We won a two point match over Edwardsville, out of Illinois and by 20 over Union County, of Kentucky (last year’s state runner up and the 2011 state champs). The Gold team went 9-0 and the Silver team went 7-2 while the bronze finished 3-6. We are banged up a bit and we are leaving early in order to get back early. We hope to be back before 11 pm on Tuesday instead of 2 am on Wed. morning.

We will practice next week on Wed. and Thursday from 8-10 and weigh in after practice on Thursday for our final dual tournament of the summer. We will then take on the very tough Roswell duals on Friday and Saturday of next week. This tourney will have Vestavia Hills out of Alabama, as well as the Mt Airy Vermont team which won 27 state titles in a row and who are nationally ranked.

The most exciting thing from this week is how we have come together as a team and crossed many small barriers. From 8th graders through seniors, we have found out a lot about ourselves, especially the fact that our team having different nationalities is one of our greatest strengths. The Lord is to be praised for all these many blessings.
