Christmas Break

The first part of the season has been a roller coaster ride.  The bad has to for sure be the 0-4 finish at the Valley Center Dual Tournament.  However, since then our line-up as filled in and we have became pretty solid.  We are currently 3-0 in the City League with wins dominating wins over West, South and what some would call and upset but I call expected.... a dismantling of #5 ranked Wichita Northwest 41-23.  Heights had a decent showing at the Bishop Carroll Invitational placing 6th while sitting out two of our point scorers at 125 and 145.  

We are by no means ready to walk into the state tournament and dominate, however, we are ready to start training very hard and getting ready for part two of the season and by the month of February we will be ready to make our run at finishing off a back-to-back league championship and make that run at a state championship!

Practice begins again on Monday December 28th at 10:00 A.M. We will also practice:
Tuesday 29th 10:00 A.M.,
Wed. 30th 10:00 A.M.,
Thursday 31st 10:00 A.M.,
Friday 1st 3:30 P.M.,
Saturday 2nd, 10:00 A.M.

Have a great break, Merry Christmas and check the Facebook site out for what you should be doing on your days off.

WEEK 1 COACH CHURCH'S THOUGHTS

We definately had some obstacles put in front of us over this first week.  Football made the state championship game (Congrats men) which kept a number of our varsity members out of wrestling for 2 weeks.  We finally got together and had about 1 day to prepare for West High.  The 51-15 win is a great start to the season.  I think we were tough especially as out of shape as we are.  The Valley Center Duals was a different case though.

We went 0-4 at Valley Center in duals this week and failed to get into a placing dual.  We did not have out full line-up and we had some problems with shape and mental toughness but thank goodness they don't give out state trophies until February.  We have a lot to work on, but I am confident these young men will show the character I know they have and put in the work, proper diets, classroom work, etc.  I am proud to be a Falcon and I know these Falcons will be ready for South High this week.
