The Patrick County High School Wrestling Team earned 2nd place in the Three Rivers District Wrestling Tournament on February 8th at Radford High School. They were gunning for their 4th consecutive District Championship but came up a little short behind a strong, more experienced Alleghany Team. “We wrestled hard and gave ourselves a chance but we came up a little short in some key match-ups. We even had a couple Alleghany wrestlers on their backs but couldn’t finish the pins. A few of those matches here and there would have made the difference. This group of young wrestlers have come a long way this season and improved tremendously. Our coaching staff is really proud of this group. If they stay with it and continue their hard work there is a lot of potential for them to accomplish great things before they graduate,” commented the coaching staff.
Logan Rakes (150), Adin Geiger (157), Paul Pascale (215), and Josh Jimrusti (Hwt.) earned first place honors in their respective weight classes. Landon Moles (126) and Ben Knight finished 2nd in their weight classes. Ricky Cox (120) and Wheeler Helms (165) finished 3rd in their weight classes. Tyler Cobbler (175) finished 4th, Mason Spencer (138) finished 4th, while Aedan Frazier (144) and Caleb Lancaster (113) finished 5th.
