State Wrestling Update |
The wrestling team had a good showing at the state tournament. The team finish was just a bit short of their goal (0.5 points out of 4th), the Pioneers produced 5 placers and 2 state champs.
Elijah Owens finished 6th and Tucker Mueller finished 7th. Joey Parrott was a runner-up, making his first state finals. His loss came to a young man ranked 5th in the entire country and Joey wrestled a very tough match against him.
Kevin Cooper won his 3rd consecutive state title with a convincing 10-0 finals victory.
Hiero Chamblee won a state championship. SK has a longstanding tradition of both lightweights and Coopers winning state titles. Hiero is actually the first non-Cooper to win a title since 2000 and the heaviest state champ in school history. |
