The BHSA wrestlers had a busy week of wrestling hosting a triangular and traveling to the Gregory Invitational Tournament. Overall on the week they wrestled pretty well going 2-0 in duals and getting second at the tournament. In the duals they knew going in it was going to take a total team effort. It takes everybody doing theirj ob whether its not giving up big points or going out there and getting big points when its needed. It was good to see the wrestlers battle for each other, it was a great team atmosphere. Also wrestling well over the weekend the team earned themselves a second place team finish. The wrestlers need to be wrestling with more urgency and have a lot to work on going forward. Its early in the season and i have no doubt these adjustments will be made.
