The final push
March 2, 2016
Two Falcon wrestlers recently competed in the state tournament at Oscar Smith High School.
The State tournament is composed of the top wrestlers in Virginia, and sometimes the Nation. This creates tough competition at all weight classes.
Despite losing both of their matches, juniors Keanu Altares (113lbs) and Logan Watts (138lbs) fought until the last whistle.
“It was a great opportunity to compete with the best of the best,” Watts said.
Watts placed fourth in the region, and teammate Altares placed second in the region and wrestled in the regional finals.
“We had a great season, but next year is ours,” Altares said.
The Falcon wrestling team ended the season strong, finishing with a record of 14-7.
