December 9 @ Paul Aubrey Christmas Tournament (RL Turner) 

After the first night of the 43rd 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 (4th), Caleb Daley (3rd), Jamel Scott (3rd), Darian Dozier (3rd), and Lenyn Carvalho (2nd). 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.
