James Lick V Tournament Results

We had a great showing this weekend at the Lynn Dyche tournament! The competition was very tough and we had three placers out of ten wrestlers. Sean Dickson took 2nd at 171, Maurice Alexander took 4th at 152, and Kevin Choi took 6th at 160. Anthony Russell was on his way to winning his weight division before he had to withdraw due to a minor knee injury. He will be recovering over the break and should be back in January. We did have some issues with wrestlers making weight, at the Varsity level there are no excuses. I expect to bring home more hardware at the next tournament. Go Chargers!

Lincoln Varsity Team Tournament Results

I am so proud of the team. They placed 2nd overall at the Lincoln Varsity Team Tournament! This was the first true varsity experience for us this year and we proved to ourselves and others that we are a force to be reckoned with in the BVAL. Outstanding wrestlers with four or more victories include Sean Dickson, Maurice Alexander, Kevin Choi, Sean Dalton, and Anthony Russell. I was extremely impressed with the level of fight and determination in the Varsity rookies Laura Rocha, Naji Kawar, Jeff Chung, and Devin Ridgway. I also want to commend the alternates for understanding their important role on the team. This is a great start to the season, keep up the hard work. Go Chargers!

Sobrato JV and Overfelt F/S Results

Leland had a very successful first weekend. The brand new wrestlers all had the ritual wakeup call first match when you realize just how out of shape you are and how little you really know. On Friday the team placed 7th overall at the tournament with some outstanding pins from Cheyenne, Amin, Sandoval and Dalton. On Saturday, all the wrestlers were tired from the day before but showed great improvement and determination with several top placers. Tommy H. took 1st and Calvin 3rd at 119, Tyler also took 3rd at 135, Kian 4th at 145, Devin 4th at 189, and Laura with the comeback pin to secure 3rd place at Girls 108. Remember that this weekend was all about getting those first matches out of our system so that we know were we are at and what to improve upon. I am proud of everyone that attended. Go Chargers!
