Atlee Raider Duals


      
        The Woodberry Forest wrestling team competed in the Atlee Raider Duals on Saturday December 19th in Richmond. As the school returned home for Winter Break, Woodberry Wrestlers stayed behind practicing in preparation for the Atlee Raider Duals.  
Friday December 18, the team took a trip to Short Pump Mall in Richmond for Christmas Shopping

Darby Henagan '16 continues to dominate his opponents in the heavyweight division week in and week out, pinning 4 of his opponents and receiving a forfeit, ending the weekend with a perfect 5-0 record.
