Senior night is tonight! We had a ton of seniors this year and they will all be deeply missed! This is the last of the "original 8"- the first group of kids I took to wrestling camp. I am so proud to have been able to be a part of their growth and maturation on and off the mat! These kids are going places!
P.s I am not ok 🥲🥲🥲

Come out tonight and support

The lady camels competed in regionals this weekend and finished 15th out of 54 teams! I am beyond proud of the growth of these young women! Sophia Dowling lost in the blood round and Genesis Hall finished 3rd. Genesis battled back and won 4 straight matches today after losing a heartbreaker 7-6 last night! Genesis will be competing in the state tournament in Greensboro in two weeks!!! It is amazing to watch these young women form the bonds that they have with their team!
