Newman Smith State Wrestling Results

Posted/span> on February 27, 2017 in Athletics, District News, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

The Trojan wrestling season came to a close on Friday, February 24. Christopher Conway traveled to Houston to compete in the UIL State Wrestling Tournament at the 170 pound weight class. Chris represented the school and program well at the state meet. He was the first state qualifier for the Trojans since 2015. Chris’ run to the state meet was exceptionally impressive considering it was his first year officially competing in the sport. Conway is a senior and hopes to continue wrestling after he graduates this summer. Congratulations on all of your achievements, Chris!

Newman Smith Regional Wrestling Results

Posted/span> on February 23, 2017 in Athletics, District News, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

The Trojan wrestlers had a pretty good start to the regional tournament. During day one on Friday, all three boys that entered the tournament won at least one match. Both Tyrese Lewis and Chris Conway won two matches and returned for day 2.

On the second day of competition, Lewis’ tournament ended with a 6th place finish. He ended his season as a regional placer with a 25-9 overall record.

Conway’s path was an odyssey worthy of a Trojan hero. He won his first match of the date then was narrowly defeated in his second. That loss sent him to the 5th place match, which he won. That victory allowed him to challenge for the fourth place wrestler for a berth to the state wrestling finals. In his final battle of the weekend, Chris Conway avenged two previous losses against a competitor from Creekview and will be the Trojans’ lone qualifier for state in his first competitive season.

Newman Smith Trojans Advance 5 Wrestlers to Regionals

Posted/span> on February 10, 2017 in Athletics, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

February 9 @ Highland Park – District Wrestling Tournament

The Trojan wrestling program took tremendous strides at Highland Park on Thursday. This year’s team quintupled the number of regional qualifiers it had from the previous season. Last year, Tyrese Lewis was the lone Trojan representative at the Regional and this year he returns with four of his teammates. Although all the wrestlers competed well throughout the day, Tyrese’s championship match was one for the ages. He won in an overtime thriller and avenged his only district loss of the season by beating his competitor from RL Turner.

The five Trojans that will advance to the regional are: Mackenzie Greer (4th Place 119 – Girls), Neriaha Wofford (3rd Place 128 – Girls), Tyrese Lewis (1st Place 145 – Boys), Christopher Conway (4th Place 170 – Boys), and Kendall Iwuagwu (2nd Place 182 – Boys). The team will also send Rafael Leon as an alternate because he took 5th place in the 152 pound class. Please congratulate these youngsters and cheer them on as they advance to next week’s tournament in Bryan, TX.

Smith Wrestling @ Texas Invitational

Posted/span> on January 23, 2017 in Athletics, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

The wrestling Trojans traveled to Arlington Sam Houston for a varsity boys tournament on Saturday, January 21st. Due to injury and the SAT, the Trojan varsity squad was depleted even more than normal, but the young men that did travel wrestled hard all day. Kendall Iwuagwu wrestled tough through all six of his matches on the day and ended the day with a fourth place finish. Freshman 106 pounder Anthony Machorro led the Trojans on the day with a second place finish. He won his first two matches on the day and nearly pulled out the victory in the final.

The Trojans conclude the regular season next week with a double dual at Creekview versus Highland Park and Lancaster on Thursday and the Arlington Bowie tournament on Friday and Saturday. All levels of wrestlers will participate in these final regular season events then they will start preparing for the varsity district tournament on February 9th and JV district tournament on February 14th.

Smith Wrestling vs. Wiley East & Melissa

Posted/span> on January 13, 2017 in Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

Trojan wrestling had a spectacular night tonight as we took home our first two dual meet wins of the season versus Wiley East and Melissa. Our Trojans fought tough against the host school, Wiley East, with a 28-24 victory. While both programs competed valiantly, in the end, the Trojans proved to be too much for their opponents. Notable victories in the first dual of the evening went came from Chris Conway, who continues to impress in his first year of competition, and Darien Dozier. Both young men won each of their matches on the evening.

In the second dual of the evening, the Trojan wrestlers accomplished something that hasn’t happened during Coach Pierce’s tenure, and probably hasn’t happened in quite some time. The Trojan boys’ team wrestled the Melissa boys’ team and shut them out. Again, neither team fielded all fourteen weight classes, but once the coaches matched up the wrestlers, the Trojans went on to a 42-0 victory. Not included in that score were two JV matches that were also both won by the Trojans, and most impressive was the fact that every victory was a pin!

Following the boys’ matches, the Trojan girls went 1-1 with Neriaha Wofford pinning her opponent, but Barbie Sanchez took a hard fought loss. This night marks the second of the Trojans four district dual nights. The third will be next week on Thursday night when the Trojans travel to RL Turner to take on the Lions and Creekview Mustangs in the Battle of Carrollton. Wrestling is scheduled to start at 6:00, so make the short trip to Turner and show your Trojan Pride!

Smith Wrestling vs. Lovejoy & McKinney North

Posted/span> on January 6, 2017 in Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

The Trojans hosted their only home meet of the season last night. Our seniors were honored before the start of the wrestling, and they rose to the occasion. Senior Neriaha Wofford defeated her only opponent of the night against Melissa High School. The three senior boys all competed well and were led by Tyrese Lewis who won both of his matches versus Lovejoy and McKinney North. Chris Conway went 1 and 1 on the evening with a victory versus Lovejoy and a hard fought loss to a tough opponent from McKinney North. Rafael Leon lost both of his matches by decision, but he competed well and exhibited great pride throughout. Kendall Iwuagwu took home the only other Trojan victory on the varsity boys’ side with a victory over his opponent from Lovejoy by fall while Mackenzie Greer took home another victory for the girls with a win against her opponent from Melissa. Although the varsity Trojans lost both of their duals on the evening, they competed hard and are improving as they prepare for the district tournament in February.

The Trojans also got great efforts from several of their JV wrestlers last night. The JV squad was led by sophomore Lenyn Carvalho with two victories on the evening. Freshmen Marshall Masvikeni, Jamel Scott, and Cayden Parrott all wrestled tough throughout the night.

Smith Wrestling News at Wylie Invitational

Posted/span> on January 3, 2017 in District News, Smith Wrestling

The Trojans closed out 2016 on a high note. All ten wrestlers that competed in the tournament won at least one match while 8 of 10 came home with medals. In the JV boys’ brackets, Jamel Scott took home a bronze and Darian Dozier received a gold for his first place performance. In the girls’ tournament, junior Barbie Sanchez went 2-1 on the day and took home a bronze medal. As for the varsity boys, the Trojan numbers may have been small, but they were mighty. All five of Smith’s varsity boys took home medals, and combined they scored 64.5 team points to finish 5^th out of 12 teams. With only five out of fourteen weight classes represented, that is quite an accomplishment!

The Trojan boys wrestled tough from start to finish. Freshman Anthony Machorro took home the bronze at 106. All three seniors, Tyrese Lewis (152), Chris Conway (182), and Jonathan Johnson (285), placed second in their brackets. The lone Smith champion was sophomore Kendall Iwuagwu who pinned his opponent in the 195 pound class. This final tournament of 2016 has started the wheels in motion for a great district season starting on January 5 at home versus Lovejoy and McKinney North. The wrestling program would like to wish everyone a happy holiday break, and we’ll see you next year!

December 9 @ Paul Aubrey Christmas Tournament (RL Turner)

After the first night of the 43^rd annual Paul Aubrey Christmas Tournament the Trojans still have all four of their varsity boys coming back for day 2. Chris Conway led the way with two pins to run his season mark to 10-3, and he is the only Trojan remaining in the varsity boys’ championship bracket. Anthony Machorro, Kendall Iwuagwu, and Jonathan Johnson are all still fighting in the consolation bracket as each went 1-1 on the evening.

The Trojan ladies wrestled tough again during their tournament. Mackenzie Greer and Barbie Sanchez each won matches, and Neriaha Wofford wrestled well in her two losses. All three girls have improved each week, and as they near the district season in January, they are moving in the right direction.

Wrestling for the JV and varsity boys starts at 9 on Saturday. Come on out and see our boys compete for a special ornament to hang on this year’s Christmas tree!

December 10 @ Paul Aubrey Christmas Tournament (RL Turner)

This year’s Paul Aubrey Tournament represented some major milestones for the Smith wrestling program. Between the JV and varsity boys, the Trojan wrestlers totaled 7 medalists! The following JV wrestlers have some new ornaments to hang on this year’s Christmas tree: Marshall Masvikeni (4^th), Caleb Daley (3^rd), Jamel Scott (3^rd), Darian Dozier (3^rd), and Lenyn Carvalho (2^nd). Masvikeni, Scott, Dozier, and Carvalho took home medals in their first competitive tournaments.

At the varsity level, three of the four Smith wrestlers that entered the tournament made it to the final round of wrestling. Anthony Machorro battled hard throughout both days and ended with a sixth place finish at 106; Jonathan Johnson was also able to scratch out a fourth place finish at 285; and Chris Conway led the way for the Trojans with his third place finish in the 182 pound class. As the Trojans enter finals week, they will prepare for one more tournament at Wylie on 12/17 before some rest and recovery going into the district season in January.
