AJ Jones Memorial Invitational Wrap-Up
January 15, 2008
Kowobys Finish 2nd at AJ Jones Memorial Invitational.
We put six in the finals and came away with four champions, along with two 3rd placers and a 4th place to finish 2nd behind Cleveland, Tennessee this past weekend. We had the same amount of finalists and placewinners, just had a few more byes and a few less bonus point matches. It was great competition though, with the Cleveland dual on Friday night and the addition of Fairview, Colorado; Jupiter Christian and several tough local teams. Our individual champions included: Pete Baldwin (125), Gabe Bird (140), Alex Eggers (145), and Tim Eggers (152). Gabe was also the tournaments Outstanding Wrestler. Levi Clemons (171) and Robert Strader (189) each finished 2nd, while EJ Jiminez (112) and Corey Webb (160) finished 3rd and Wiston Flores (125) finished 4th.
In addition, our girls headed to Vero Beach High School for a tournament down there and came away with 2nd place overall. Lakia Henderson (215) was champion, Julie Salvatore (145) and Omaris Maldonado (103) each finished 2nd.
"Big John" Salvatore came back from football this week, so he'll make his debut at the Michael Hutchinson Duals at Bishop Moore this weekend. Hopefully, Niko will be healthy and can re-join the line up as well. We are looking forward to five good duals there, then it's time to get focused for St. Cloud and the post season.
Thanks for everyone's continued support! It means a lot to the coaches and the wrestlers!
