Ben Willeford All-American
Senior Ben Willeford returned from the ASICS/Vaughan Junior & Cadet National Championships as an All-American. In the Greco-Roman part of the event Ben wrestled his way to a fifth place finish. In the fifth place match he defeated highly regarded Tanner Moon (Alabama). After losing the first period 0-7. Ben worked hard in the second period to gain a 3-1 win. Tied 1-1 going into the third period Ben dug deep. He scored late in the period to secure a 5-1 decsion for the period and secured All-American status. He was the only All-American from the state of Louisiana this season. Everyone, associated with the Warrior Wrestling Program, is proud of Ben's accomplishments. I will be trying to post the video soon.
