Some of the Reitz Wrestler's made the trip to Pigeon Forge TN on
June 2nd to wrestle in the Pigeon
Forge Summer Duals on June 3rd & 4th. The boys were able to
weigh in after a practice at the high school on Wednesday evening. To fill our team we
were given three wrestlers from Pigeon Forge but had to take forfeits at
171 & 189. Each day they wrestled three duals going undefeated for
the tourney. Derek Dowdy and Blake Rueger went undefeated as well as our
103# wrestler from PF.
Each evening the boys
and coaches had a corn
hole tournament. This was a great summer trip to get more mat
time as well as team building.
The Reitz Wrestling
team composed of wrestlers from middle
school and high school wrestlers competed over the weekend (March 13 & 14) in the ISWA folkstyle

tournament in Huntington, Indiana. The team results are now posted and

showing and too all the competitors who made the trip.
