GWAL CHAMPIONS "Back-to-Back"

I am once again a little late in writing about this however, there have been some very exciting times recently in the world of Wichita Heights Falcon Wrestling.  Last week the Falcons finished up the dual season with a pounding of Wichita North High School.  In doing that, the Falcons finished the GWAL dual season 8-0 and had clinched at least a share of the league championship.  However, our men believed sharing the league would be as bad as taking second and knew that they needed to win the tournament outright to become the sole champions of the City League.

After watching their J.V. blow out the J.V. City meet by over 60 points on the Friday before and crown themselves league champions the varsity then stepped up and finished off the job.  The varsity grabbed a commanding lead in the tournament after the semi finals and never looked back.  The Falcons won the City League Tournament by 60 pts over runner up Northwest and Third place Kapaun.  This makes the Falcon wrestling team 16-0 over the past two seasons in duals as well as champions of the league tournament to make them outright Back-to-Back League Champs.

Champions:  Conner Neal 103, Daniel Deshazer 125, Mike Ashpole 130, Uylesses Deshazer 135, Trey Schrimscher 140 and  Matt Reed 171.  
Second Place Finishers:  Dalton Maier 145, Hunter Jameson 160
Third Place Finishers:  Dominique Henderson 152, Justin Reynolds 215  
Fourth Place Finishers:  Barry Newton 119, Khary Jones HWT.

To this point the Falcons have been on a roll winning back to back tournaments and were looking forward to the Regional Tournament in Manhattan, KS.
