After a tough weekend of wrestling at regionals, our wrestlers of the week have been awarded!
Boys: Cohen Cernoch, 12. Cohen showed out at regionals, wrestling some of his best matches of the season. Cohen is a leader with his work ethic in the wrestling room. He shows up every day, puts his nose to the grindstone and works to improve. This past week he really put his skills together in his matches, a puzzle he has been working to solve this season. Cohen finished 3rd in our region scoring pins in each of his victories.

Girls: Makenna Lesser, 10. Makenna is a determined worker, and showed that during the week leading up to regionals. She put on display a variety of skills in all positions which showed how much she has grown as wrestler. Makenna brought an intensity to her matches right out of the gate at regionals and battled her way to 6th in her weight class.

Our last wrestler of the week has been awarded to close out our season. Congratulations to Logan Smith (12). Logan earned his 100th career victory last week as well as reversing an earlier season loss. He finished 4-1 last week in our matches, showing off the skills he has built throughout his high school career. Logan is a consistent leader for our team and a high performer on the mat, as well as in the classroom. He continues to showcase the values we expect from our athletes, and we appreciate his dedication to our program.

You can catch us on Saturday at Hedgesville for the Region 2 Championships . Top 4 placers earn their spot in the state tournament.
