|  | | Austin, Kurt, Roy Get This Weeks Honors |
|
It was a really hard week to choose the "Wrestler of the Week" award. It wasn't that nobody could stand out ---- it seemed a lot of people stood out! But, in the end I had to go with this three way tie and give it to Senior Captain Kurt Monington, Sophomore Captain Austin Williams, and Junior standout Roy Payne. All three had great weeks both in the practice room and at Match time.
Honorable mentions have to be given to Senior Captain Denny Burke and returning State Qualifier Senior Jason Hillegas too. Both had great weeks also, capped off by taking 2nd place and going 4-1 in the 2001 Super Duals Tournament. They literally missed making this a five way tie by a hair! Great job!
Senior Captain Kurt Monington went 5-1 this week. He also placed second in the 2001 Super Duals Tournament in the 275 pound division by beating T. Green of Archbishop Curley in an exciting match! That will go nicely with Kurt's second place finnish at the 2000 TR Davis Memorial Tournament. Kurt's only lost in both tournaments have come at the hands of James Riggins of Allegany. His record is now 10-6.
Junior Roy Payne also went 5-1 for the week. Roy never saw a wrestling mat until last year and now leads the team with a 14-3 record He has scored 66 team points already this year. Also, Roy is constantly leading by example in the practice room by always giving 100%! He also is the 2000 TR Davis Memorial Champion in the 103 pound class.
Sophomore Captain Austin Williams went 5-1 and took 2nd place in the 2001 Super Duals Tournament by pinning Dustin Bosley of Frankfort, in a rematch from earlier in the season in which he had lost. Despite only weighing 169 pounds, he is now 14-4 in the 191 pound class and leads the team in takedowns with 29.
Everyone keep up the great work!

Fort Hill Splits at Frankfort to Move to 3-2
| |
The Fort Hill Wrestlers defeated cross-town rival Allegany 67-12 and lost to cross-state rival Frankfort 49-22. It was a night with mixed results and feelings that ended a very trying week.
The team has been fighting a virus or flu that seems to be hitting just about everyone(including the Coaches). Senior Adam Fell made weight in the morning but was sidelined with illness along with other members of the team. We only hope that we can get over this soon.
On late Thursday night, we found out that West Virginia did not get the 2 Pound allowance that we have had since Jan. 1st until Jan. 15th. Due to this most wrestlers were experiencing weight problems that caused a major shift in our lineup in the lighter weight classes.
I know, I know-----I'm complaining but I really think that it is time that everyone starts obeying the same rules. The powers to be in Charleston and Annapolis need to get on the same page and make it easier to travel across state lines without major rule changes. We know have conflicting stalling rules, weight classes, scheduling rules, and now the 2 pound growth allowance to name a few. Next will might have to wear mouth guards to wrestle in WV.
I'm not taking anything away from a really well prepared Frankfort team that dominated us from 119-145. They looked great and I congratulate them.
Little Sentinels All Win!!
The three Little Sentinels all won their matches on Saturday night before the Varsity matches. Sixth Graders Zach Huffman, Sean Bennett, and Justin Nichols decisioned their Frankfort Mat Club opponets and proved to everyone that all of their hard work is really paying off! Justin Nichols and Zach Huffman have started the season with a 1-0 record. Nathan Bennett now has a 2-0 record! Great job guys and keep up the great work!
How To Care For Your New Uniform
Always wash uniforms - never dry clean them. Dry cleaning can discolor your uniforms and damage the screen-printing.
For best results, launder uniforms immediately after each wearing. Uniforms that cannot be cleaned promptly should be hung individually on wooden or plastic hangers. Metal hangers will leave rust marks. ALWAYS WASH SEPARATELY! DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER - ALWAYS USE COLD!
For best results in drying, hang on plastic or wooden hangers and let hang dry. If dryer is used, set for AIR ONLY and turn uniform inside-out. NO HEAT!
Please make every effort to take care of these uniforms! We need them to last awhile!
