Keyser Scrimmage

On Monday evening, we welcomed the Keyser Golden Tornado to our gym for a scrimmage.  The boys had a really good night on the mats and took full advantage of having "new blood" in the gym.  We started out with a little review session and then some pretty hard drilling.

After a good drilling session, we went right into live wrestling.  Our kids took full advantage of this time with new opponents, and looked very strong.  We did not keep score in these matches but we were very happy with the outcome.

After a quick break (thanks to Heather Cooper for bringing us drinks!) we had our usual mid-practice ritual....story time.  The guys were a little shy, but we did hear stories about wrecking vehicles and finding cash.  Then is was back to work with 30 more hard minutes of live wrestling.  When everyone was pretty much worn out, we went into conditioning, led by the seniors.  It was a great workout and with the season ready to begin, both teams are a little more prepared for opening night.

Overall, it was a great night on the mats for the Southern Rams and the Keyser Golden Tornado.
