Go Eagles!!

The Argyle wrestling team had another great tournament against some very good 4a and 5a teams from around the area.  The Eagles took 3^rd place behind Lake Highlands and Saginaw in the team standings.  Cutler McMartin 119lb and Clark Lanning 130lb each took 4^th in the consolation rounds in what proved to be a very physical tournament.  Sam Davidson took third in the 135lb weight class by pinning his opponent in the 2^nd period.  In the championship round Ben Hammer 152lb, Nick Chrestopoulos 160lb, James Forrest 189lb, and Dylan Taylor 215lb all pinned their opponents to win their respective divisions.  Ben Hammer was voted Most Outstanding Wrestler for the upper weight categories. 

            Hammer out-classed the wrestler from Saginaw by pinning him with a wrenching head lock.  Chrestopoulos ended his match when he put the Birdville wrestler into a suffocating figure 4.  Forrest pinned the wrestler from Lake Highlands 5 different times during the match but the referee was repeatedly out of position and couldn’t assess the position of the shoulder blades. 

            Prior to the championship finals the four Eagle wrestlers made a pact to each pin their opponents which left Dylan Taylor as the last one to seal the deal.  Dylan left little doubt about the outcome by suplaying the LD Bell wrestler and pinning him in 25 seconds.  The Eagle wrestling team is looking very strong this year.  When they wrestle at home come and see why wrestling is considered the tough man sport.

The Eagle wrestling team traveled to R. L. Turner High School for the annual Paul Aubrey Tournament.  There were 22 schools represented and three Argyle wrestlers placed.  Brian Sanchez took home the 4th place medal in the 285 lb weight division. Newcomer Ben Hammer showed why his teammates are excited to have him on the team this year by getting to the championship round and placing 2nd in the 160lb weight class. Winning the 171lb weight class was Nick Chrestopoulos who went a perfect 4-0 while pinning one opponent in 3:14, getting a major decision 11-1, and winning his last match by a tech fall 15-0.
