Saint Rolls to Huge Victory at the Forbush Duals

 

Saint controlled the pool matches with a 4-0 record. The Tribe defeated East Mecklenburg 49-25, East Forsyth 84-0, Walkertown 82-0, and Ledford 84-0. This set us up the the winner of the opposite pool, Davie County. It was a battle to the finish as you can see by the results below. Everyone played an important role in holding off their state level wrestlers and conquering the rest of their team.  As you can see below, it took the entire Tribe to achieve the win. Davie is the most solid team we have competed against this year. This was a significant win for the Tribe.

Saint Wins Big Over Kings Mountain and Maiden

 

Wednesday was a great night to be a Saint Fan. Saint defeated Kings Mountain 70-3 and Maiden 62-17. We controlled the night by gaining 17 pins against the competition's 2 pins.

 

And our new girls team defeated Maiden 42-23 in their first ever Female Dual Team action. The gym was full of squeals and screams when our girls would score. That was good for the heart to hear. We did the right thing on bringing on a Female squad and credit goes to Coach Paul Lane on his efforts to recruit the ladies and show them support.

 

When our male team took the mat for warm-ups, it looked like the old days when Alabama could dress out 150 for game day. Our red wave flooded the floor. We were also wearing our new warm up jackets. They are great!

 

Thanks to all of you for being there to support our wrestling team.

Team and Parent Meeting

 

Before the start of each sports season we are required to have an informational parent meeting. Our football and soccer teams are in the playoffs and we want these athletes to be able to attend. With fall and winter seasons overlapping, finding a day that works for everyone is difficult. So, we are going to set a day that we hope will work for the most athletes. 

 

Our parent meeting will be Sunday, November 9th at 5:30 pm. We will have a salad and spaghetti meal for everyone in attendance. Let your wrestler know how many each family will bring so that we have enough food for everyone. Looking forward to another great season of Saint Wrestling!!
