The Tigers placed second in the Prep League Tournament at Norfolk Academy.  Of particular note are the five Woodberry wrestlers who earned All Prep honors: Brandon Walker, Josh Trudgeon, Duke Pickett, Taylor Reuss, and Cary Jones.  Israel Arana and Rogers Clark placed second in the tournament, while Witt Moye, Raymond Fenstermaker, Nick Cirillo, Michael Armstrong, Spencer Brewer came in third place and Douglas Semerling came in fourth.
 Aside from placing 1st, Duke won the Outstanding Wrestler award

Duke was also voted Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament by the coaches in attendance for avenging an early season 4-1 loss to David Wesley of St. Chris with a gritty 7-4 win in the finals where Picket and Wesley met again.

While the Tigers wrestled well all day, the final score came down to a couple key upsets that allowed St. Chris to edge ahead and take first place and the Prep League title. 
 The Tigers will wrestle in the St. Albans tournament this coming weekend.
