WEST HALL DUAL - Tuesday, January 12th

Next Tuesday January 12th, we will have a dual match with West Hall Youth Program along with the Commerce High School Team. The match will be at West Hall High School in Oakwood. West Hall Youth is a new program with all 1st year wrestlers. Because of their limited numbers, we will only be able to take about a dozen of our kids who I could match up where they would get a couple good matches each. I need a response from these parents ASAP that your child will be able to attend. I will have room in my car to carry at least 6 kids with me if transportation is an issue for any parents just let me know. Below is a list of kids who will have the opportunity to wrestle alongside our Varsity Tigers:

Lambdin Hardy
Cutter Love
Alex Vandiver
Russ Johnson
Christian Werner
Donshae Gaither
RJ Vivians
Daniel Killcoyne
John Bradley
Dakota Kesler
Devin Deadwyler

School is located at 5506 Mcever Rd, Oakwood, Ga. 30566

PRACTICE SWITCHED TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT THIS WEEK

Due to the projected bad weather for Thursday, we are moving practice from Thursday to Wednesday night this week. It will still begin at 6 PM.

Thanks – Rick

Tigers Win Jefferson New Year Classic!!!

Congratulations to all our wrestlers and coaches for bringing home the 1st place Team Trophy at Jefferson Saturday. This is a huge accomplishment for our program, hopefully the first of many. Regardless of whether you were able to participate in the tournament or not; be proud because WRESTLING IS A TEAM SPORT and every wrestler and coach contributed to this victory either at practice, on the mat Saturday, or both!!!
Great job guys!!!

SCHEDULE CHANGE

No dual match this Wednesday 1/06. Also need to add East Jackson Tournament to our schedule. They will host a beginners and open tournament on Saturday January 23rd!!

Dixie Nationals

Commerce had 3 wrestlers participate in the Dixie Nationals at the World Congress Center on Monday. This is a national event with kids from across the nation participating. To win 1 or 2 matches at a national event is a huge accomplishment, but to place is exceptional. Our boys showed out, we had two 1st placers and one 3rd placer.

Results:

Chance McClure – Tournament Champion (189 lb High School division)
Nick Patrick – Tournament Champion (10 under 100 lb class)
Jake Brewer – 3rd Place (12 under 61 lb class)

Congratulations to Chance McClure, Nick Patrick, and Jake Brewer. Great Job!!

Holiday Practice Schedule

Reminder: There is no practice this week due to Christmas Holidays. At this time there is no practice scheduled for next week of December 28th. However I will be glad to hold 1 or 2 practices next week if we have enough kids (10-15) interested. So if you want to practice the week of December 28th, please let me know ASAP and I will get a practice time set up.

THANKS!!!

Thanks to all that helped make our event last Saturday a success. Much appreciated!!!
