Wrestling at the Junior New England Wrestling Tournament

2/26/2018

Today the Eagles traveled to the Fessenden School for the 49th Junior New England Wrestling Tournament. This tournament is the culmination of the Eagles season and it was circled on the calendar in the wrestling room over seventy days ago. This is what every wrestler on the team has been working for each and every day of the season.

The day began with a beautiful sunrise that made the drive to Newton, MA the most enjoyable ride of the season, especially when the team has traveled through snow, sleet, ice and rain on many of our voyages in the past three months. The team was healthy, allowing them to bring the same boys that wrestled at the Eaglebrook Tournament a week ago to Fessenden, something that usually doesn’t happen due to illness or injury. The team was well prepared to perform their best today and they didn’t disappoint.

Out of the twelve wrestlers that traveled, seven of then placed! The team was able to have two wrestlers place 2nd, three placed third, and two more place 4th. The team had some amazing matches throughout the course of the day. They showed the utmost sportsmanship and cheered on each other from the first match to the last. In the end, the race for team points was an extremely close one. The Eagles walked away 5th overall, out of twelve teams and were just 10 points away from 3rd place overall.

This season will be marked up as being an extremely successful one for the Eagles. This team completed their goals of always showing the best sportsmanship, along with being one of the toughest teams in New England, mentally and physically. Great work Eagles and now it’s time to begin getting ready for next season.
