Wrestling begins at 9:30 a.m. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WEST HOLMES WRESTLING Call For Home Tourney Volunteer Workers Continues January began a busy month of West Holmes wrestling hosting tournaments. That busy month continues with this Saturday’s, January 17, ‘2015 Knights Middle School Invitational Tournament’, followed the next day, Sunday, January 18, with the ‘2014 O.Y.W.A. Mid-Ohio Division Varsity Tournament’. The stretch of home tournaments carries on Saturday, January 24 with the ‘2015 West Holmes/United States Marine Corp Varsity Invitational Tournament’ and wraps up Sunday, February 1 with the ‘2015 O.Y.W.A. Mid-Ohio Division Sectional Championship Tournament’. And that means volunteer help to conduct the tournaments is needed. West Holmes wrestling has earned a reputation for conducting efficient and well-run tournaments over the years. And, that is directly contributed to the many volunteer workers who have, and continue, to volunteer their time. With various levels of West Holmes wrestling competing the same day as the home tournaments, volunteer help will be greatly needed. Those wishing to volunteer as workers for any or all of the tournaments should contact West Holmes wrestling head coach Jeff Woods. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY Practices, Tournaments and Duals On Tap This Week The upcoming week will be extremely busy for West Holmes wrestling with dual meets and tournaments on tap for the high school and middle school squads, while the ‘Attack Team’ wrestlers will host a tournament. On the mat action will see both the high school and middle school team’s travel Wednesday, January 14 to Indian Valley High School in Gnadenhutten, Ohio for a triangular meet against Navarre Fairless and the host Braves.

The meeting between the Knights and Falcons will be the first dual meet between both teams since the 1980’s when both school were members of the old Ohio Athletic Conference/Ohio Athletic League. The middle school lost years dual to the Braves by a 62 – 24 count. And, like they’re older counterparts, the dual with Navarre Fairless will be the first between the two schools in decades.
