Frankfort Pre-Season Wrap-up

Austin Shaffer

      Six high school wrestlers and several mat club kids traveled to the big town of Short Gap, WV to compete in a pre-season tournamnet at Frankfort High School on Sunday.  It was a very successful day and the future looks very promising for the Rams.

Devan Hamrick

      Returning state champion, Austin Shaffer dominated on his way to the championship.  He won each of his 4 matches convincingly and looks to have a great shot at defending his title this year.

      Freshman Devan Hamrick also went undefeated on the day, winning all 3 of his matches to claim the title.  This was Devan's 2nd tournament this fall and he has yet to lose a match.

Tanner Massey

      Junior Tanner Massey went 4-1 on the day to place 2nd at the tournament.  His only loss was a close 2-0 decision to a returning WV state qualifier.  Tanner looked very strong and should have a great season this year.

      Sophomore Austin Sines looked very good in his matches as well.  Austin won his first two bouts before losing his final two to end up in 3rd place.  Conditioning was an issue for Sines as he didn't have much left in the tank by the time he got to his last matches.



Jimmy Schwab



      Cooper McCauley and Zach Tichnell each competed as well.  Each of these seniors were in tough classes and each will play a big part for our team this season.

      Several mat club wrestlers also competed at Frankfort.  Eighth graders Jimmy Schwab and George Zimmerman both were very impressive.  Schwab won all his matches to place 1st and Zimmerman won 3 of 4 to take 2nd.  Each of these boys will be very successful in their final mat club season and will be great additions to our high school team next year.
