Thomas
Dale Knights wrestling team finished 10th out of 20 teams at the
2010 James River Duals wrestling tourney. For a young team with
several inexperienced wrestlers the boys, wrestled hard with some
very tight matches. They won 2 out of 7 duals, but had a couple
that could have gone either way. This team is still young and
trying to find its way in a tough Central Region.
They
opened up Friday night with an exciting 40-37 win over Mills
Godwin. The Knights suffered a loss to the region's #1 ranked
team, Hanover, and rounded out the evening with a win over
Manchester
. The Knights
finished 2nd within their pool setting them up for a
tough second day of wrestling.
Saturday
was a really tough day for the Knights as they lost all 4 dual
matches to Riverbend, Matoaca, Cosby and Deep Run. The Knights
lost close matches to Riverbend and Cosby and did not have enough
depth to match Matoaca or Deep Run. This was still a good learning
experience for the young team.
Special
Notes:
Senior,
James White, (130lb) and junior, Brandon Diamond ,(152lb)
both went 7-0 at the tournament.
On
Friday ,Diamond recorded a huge 6-5 win over
Hanover
's Ben Wilson in one of the most exciting single match ups of the
weekend. Diamond also recorded his 100th career win, which was the
fastest in school history to reach the milestone!!
