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.
