Bobcat Elementary Wrestlers Compete At Franklin And Burrell Tournaments (03/01/14)

 (By Coach Lee Weber and Coach Dave Smail)

In the Franklin Open Tournament (Saturday, February 22), we had 5 boys attend.  This is usually a very competitive tournament. Chase Makray finished 3rd, while Jake Smith, Ben Smith, and Logan Powell all wrestled with heart and finished with a respectable 5th. Brendan Makray and Bryce Klawuhn, both coming back to the sport, wrestled with no fear.
