Leopards roll to 2nd

Jan. 13, 2011



Stafford, KS--The Lincoln wrestling team traveled to Stafford for year two of the Trojan Duals. This years event was attended by Lincoln, Hoisington, Chaparral, Nickerson, and of course the host team Stafford. At the end of the night the leopards left with a 3-1 record and a runner-up finish to the Hosington Cardinals.

Outstanding individual performers for the leopards were Riggs Walter (103), Sean Ussrey (152), and Kyle Zachgo (160) who all went a perfect 4-0 on the night.

A very special moment was witnessed by all in attendance prior to the final round. After the senior wrestlers were recognized, Stafford coach Jay Sweet asked for everyone to recognize a moment of silence in honor of Melody Poole, Stafford's manager who was killed in a tragic car crash last spring.

This weekend the varsity will be traveling to Beloit on Friday and Saturday to participate in what many believe is the most challenging tournament in North Central Kansas. Wrestling will begin at 2pm on Friday and 9:30am on Saturday. The JV team will be traveling to Stafford on Saturday for their annual jv tournament which will begin at 9:00am.
