Grapplers medal at Ooltewah
WCHS wrestler Aaron Thomas was the tournament champion for the 171-pound weight class. Casey Welch placed fourth in the 119-pound weight class, and 160-pound Cody Spivey came in third.
Two other WCHS wrestlers came up just one round away from medaling. Rush Reedy was 2-for-2 in the 135 weight class, and Mark Chambers was 2-for 2-at 189.
Coach Matt Turner stated, “We wrestled hard after the first round where we had no one win a match. To start out the day with a ‘zero,’ and come back and place in the top 10 in overall team points says something about our guys. We competed against tough Chattanooga and northern Georgia competitors.”
WCHS has its first home match Thursday night at the Hickory Creek gym at 6 p.m., and will compete Saturday in the Tullahoma Invitational.
