Pinning The Win
By: Addie Schaffer
The wrestling season is off to a strong start with both the boys and girls teams putting in hard work. On Saturday, December 14th our boys wrestling team competed at Hancock Place High School-unfortunately the girls didn’t meet weight. Thinh Staggs delivered an impressive performance, securing 1st place in the 150 lbs weight class. Staggs said, “I came in a bit scared but I tried my best. Leaving with a great outcome.” Austin Jacquez also earned 1st place in the 144 lbs weight class. TJ Baugh took 1st place in the heavyweight class, though he did not receive a medal. The team’s next match is set for Wednesday, December 18th at Pinckneyville High School. Keep up the great work!
