Coach Logan Crum Comments
Very Good week for us as we wrestled some very good competition. We were without Chevvy Wood for this week as he has been sick with extreme flu. I thought that we wrestled well to finish 6-3 on the week at Springfield. We are now on our mid season break in which the kids have a few days off to recuperate and get ready for the second half of the season and the post season. Regionals is a little over a month away. Coach Crum

Coach Logan Crum's Comments
Very good match for us as the only points that we gave up were to weights where we forfeited, so we did not lose an actual match all night. I was proud of the way that we wrestled to get pins last night. We now turn our attention to the Cumberland Tournament which is Saturday. It will be a great tournament for us to see competition that we have not seen so far this year. It is a 17 team tournament so if we can do well there as a team things look very good for our program going forward.
Last night, the St. Mary’s Rockets played host to St. Joe Princeton in a c-game. The Rockets defeated St. Joe by a score of 30 to 14.
