Tigers finish well in tournament

The Woodberry Forest wrestling team had a great weekend of wrestling at the Turner Ashby tournament held in Harrisonburg on both Friday and Saturday. There were many top AA level teams in the field of 20 that participated this year and going into Saturday the Tigers were in 5th place, a half point better than the defending AA state champions, Christiansburg. 
Even though these standings would no
t last throughout the day on Saturday, the Woodberry wrestlers did an oustanding job of competing each and every single match and there were several placewinners at the end of the day on Saturday.

Witt Moye-6th place
Jared Engh 5th place
Cole Scherer 7th place
William Dossett 4th place
Cole Martini 7th place

It was a great tournament for not only these wrestlers but for others on the team as well. Brendan Foster got his first pin of the year on Friday night after a hard fought match. Perry Hammond, Harris Moye, Taylor Rudnick, Michael Bauer, Michael Armstrong, Sterling Street all had their hands raised during the tournament as well after winning matches.
