BVAL Varsity Finals

Only five Varsity Chargers entered the Blossom Valley Athletic League Finals after a rough season peppered with serious injuries. Unfortunately, Tommy Hamamjy did not make his weight and Jeremy Lee felt ill during his first match and withdrew from the tournament. That left three. Benny Lemus was wrestling up 25 pounds at 191 and defeated his first two tough opponents before hurting his rib and being forced to Injury Default his last two matches. Benny still placed 6th overall, which makes him an alternate for CCS. Nick Lee and Maurice Alexander both only lost to the #1 seeds in the tournament. Nick took 5th relying on his very effective modified head-and-arm throw to put away his opponents. Waffles placed 3rd drawing 'oohs' and 'awws' from the crowd with his exciting wrestling style. Impressive finish to a difficult season. Fantastic job team!
