๐Ÿ“ข MALVERN HAS THEIR FIRST-EVER STATE PLACER!!! ๐Ÿ’ช

Jerry Stringer placed 4th in his finals match today!! He fought hard, didn't give up, and came out aggressive and ready to wrestle. What an INCREDIBLE season finale for not only himself, but also, this program.

This sport really is so unbelievable. The level of discipline, grit, and toughness it takes to wrestle is unparalleled. It is the ultimate test of not only physical strength, but mental fortitude. It will push you beyond your limits and then ask for you to give twice as much afterwards. The bond between wrestlers and coaches is an unbreakable one. The appreciation and sportsmanship for our opponents is of the highest degree. There are no words that can sum up how it feels to be on the mat testing yourself against another wrestler, who is trying to beat you.

Jerry has finished his senior season of wrestling for Malvern High School with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, with all 21 of his wins being pins. Jerry received a lot of attention from so many other wrestlers at other schools (most of them strangers!), who have been wowed with his incredibly fast-paced wrestling style all season. There were so many people we had never seen before walking past him to say "Good luck Jerry Stringer!" There were even a few colleges that sat down to speak to him this weekend, and they will be keeping in touch.

This has been a life-changing season for all of us!

In the words of Coach Doug McGuire:

"The crazy thing about wrestling is kids hug each other after a tough battle. Coaches celebrate coaches from other teams on their accomplishments. Wrestling is family. Wrestling is different."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. We owe a lot to Arkansas Center for Sports Science Training. and Southern Arkansas Wrestling Academy for helping us be the best we can be. Coach McGuire and SAWA means so much to us.

We have spent so many grueling hours on the mat, but we aren't done yet! Jerry will be doing Spring and Summer wrestling at SAWA (partnering with Coach Allen some??) for Freestyle and Greco-Roman, and he is hoping to place and travel to Fargo, ND to compete for the Arkansas National Team.

We are happy to say that, this season, we came, we saw, and !!!

We are extremely proud to say that our lone warrior, Jerry Stringer, won his last match of the day and is in the Consolation Finals tomorrow!!!

He took a loss earlier in the day, but he bounced back for a dominating win by pin!

He will be competing in the Finals tomorrow between 3 PM and 7 PM, where he will battle it out for 3rd or 4th place!!! Either way, he will place at State tomorrow! We will be wearing our suits tomorrow because he will be on the podium! ๐Ÿ‘”

He has already made Malvern Wrestling history and we are proud of him!!

Malvern will have their first-ever State placer tomorrow!!!

LET'S GO JERRY! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†

Jerry next on Mat 3!!!

02/13/2026

Kenadee Taylor fought hard, but fell just short of staying in the brackets. We are extremely proud of her!! She is a freshman and a first year wrestler. She is the first girl from Malvern to qualify for State.

She has worked so hard this year, and we informed her that this will not be the last time she makes it to State!! She is very thankful for the season she had, and she looks forward to enjoying a little bit of practice over the summer.

Jerry Stringer's next match will be during Session 2, which will begin at 4 PM.

The girls still wrestling at the tournament will have all of their matches first, and then boys will begin!

We're not sure, but if we had to estimate, Jerry will not wrestle sooner than 5 PM.

Thank you everyone for supporting us so far today!!

Kenadee just got assigned to Mat 2. That means she will be up soon on mat 2!

Kenadee Taylors consolation match will take place after the boys matches of Session 1 finish up. We will post updates when we find out when she is wrestling. It will likely be before the end of the school day.

Jerry's Semifinals match will be this evening during session 2 (4 - 830 PM). If he wins that match, he will be up for the finals match tomorrow during Session 2!!!

02/13/2026

Kenadee is 0-1. There is no losing in wrestling! Only learning. She can still get 3rd or 4th if she wins her next match during session 2, which will be between 4-8:30 PM.

Jerry Stringers first opponent had to forfeit for medical reasons. His match will be during session 2 as well.
