Josh Trudgeon, Duke Pickett, Taylor Reuss, and Jeff Smith all had big wins, leading the team to victory. The Tigers continued to have success against FUMA, earning a 48-19 win. Josh, Duke, Taylor, and Jeff were all victorious again, and Cary Jones also added a big win. The last match of the day for the Woodberry grapplers was against St. Christopher’s School. The Tigers wrestled some very tough matches, but fell 58-3 to the state champion Saints. Chad Kolumber had a very close win over a tough opponent, in his first victory against a St. Christopher’s wrestler. Taylor Reuss had a very close match in a two-point loss to the eventual state champ. Taylor wrestled well all weekend, and earned the team’s weekly Hammer Award for his three very tough matches. Rogers Clark went into the weekend as a varsity starter for the first time. He wasn’t able to earn a win, but wrestled three tough opponents, and was very competitive with all three.
