Newman Smith Wrestling vs. J.J. Pearce

Posted/span> on November 21, 2016 in District News, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

Smith Wrestling started off the year with some positives. Although the Trojans did not win their season opening dual versus J.J. Pearce, they came away with three pins in the five varsity weight classes that wrestled. Seniors Tyrese Lewis, Chris Conway, and Jonathan Johnson all recorded pins in their first matches of the season. In addition to their successes, the program also saw nine wrestlers compete in their first career matches. Of those newcomers, several captured their first victories. Conway was the first to notch a W during the varsity, and he was followed by Kendall Iwuagwu, Josh Aranda, and freshman girl Mackenzie Greer all in JV action. In a solid start for a group of newcomers, the Smith wrestlers exemplified Trojan Pride.

The Smith wrestling squad is scheduled to go to Richardson High School this weekend for the Richardson Roundup.  This tournament will surely provide new challenges as this group builds for their district season that starts in January.
