2 For 2 at Bellmont

Tyler wrestled twice at Bellmont yesterday and won both times!  The team had Fairfield the first round and won 33-21 but Tyler did not wrestle.  He wrestled against Bloomington South (ranked #14), the second round (Dakota Thacker, freshman) and beat him 11-3.  The team did well - winning 39-24. 

Next up was Bellmont and Tyler sat out this round, along with a few that were pretty banged up, leaving the team to lose this round, 30-38.  Round four was against Whitko (Wes Gensch, junior) and Tyler got a pin in about 50 seconds or so.  The team won this round as well, 60-14. 

The last round was against #2 ranked Perry Meridian where Tyler sat out with the others who are injured...and the team lost 10-54.  A good tournament to say the least and with several of our wrestlers still banged up, this gave some opportunity to let them wrestle against some easier teams and sit out against the rougher ones.  This year has been frustrating for Coach Snyder...he has said several times that this is the most banged up team he has EVER had.  We are young, with only 10 seniors this year...7 being starters but 5 injured (3 done for the season)!  It's definitely been a trying year so far and we are really hoping for the best come Sectional time.  Considering Tyler has been hurt pretty much 3 out of the 4 years, we were hoping for a good year this year...seems to not be happening though.  Tyler does seem to be encouraged though, he keeps the team in good spirits as a leader and this does my heart good.
