"We are improving, however we made some mistakes tonight that cost us in certain matches.  I told the team we have a chance to bounce back this weekend at Mt Olive", said Head Coach Justin Harty.  "We are pretty banged up as a team, so the Christmas break will allow us to heal up and get some our of team back on the mat in the coming weeks.  Josh wrestled well tonight, improving to 19-2 on the season and beating some really big 149lb wrestlers.  Also, we had other highlights with Luke Gregory notching a key win and Khalil Belk bringing home a win as well".
