Congrats to JK and Chandler on their state rankings. Hopefully, they can make it through regionals and back to states.
Mason Holt sounds like he's having a great year & only a freshman.
Several other wrestlers are doing well & the team qualified for the state tournament again. Coach Jones is turning out some very good wrestlers.
I guess Ihigh is too focused on Mabry to post anything about the wrestling team this year. What a shame. The basketball team is ranked, Mabry going to set a scoring record (even though Phil did it in 3 years vs. TM's 4). That's great and I applaud their efforts. Here's to hoping we see a State Basketball Championship Team.
But I guess the wrestlers don't get a mention on the school's ihigh page because of it. That's too bad. They carried your stuff for a long time.
Your brother gets 100 wins, ranked in the state. JK is only a sophomore and he's ranked. The team qualifies for the state tournament for the 4th or 5th year? That's great stuff.
I hope everybody that hits rocky mount ihigh is hitting your blog and keeping up with the great bunch of athletes other than TM.
