GARRETT BILL***TIGER OF THE WEEK***
Match#1 - Lost 4-5
Match#2 - Won by Pin
Garrett took on the only kid who clearly beat him earlier this year. (he pinned Garrett) This time, the winner wasn't so clear. What we thought was a Garrett win, turned out to be a heatbreaking 4-5 loss. Either way, Garrett made a major statement in how he closed the gap on this kid. He was honored as one of our TIGERS OF THE WEEK.

Ryan had 3 total wins two years ago. In the two seasons since then, he put together 18 wins, with more possibly coming. Now that's what I call improvement!
JACOB GRAMMER
Match#1 - Lost 6-9
Match#2 - Won by Pin
Match#3 - Won by Pin
It's hard to explain how thrilled I was to see Jacob come out for wrestling. I told him he would be successful, but I never knew he'd put together this kind of season. 16-4? Whoa, you've got to be kidding me!
TAYLOR GROUP

Taylor showed why he is considered one of this team's leaders all year. He just put an exclamation point on it, going 7-1 in his final 8 bouts of the regular season.
ROSS HOLLAND
Match#1 - Lost 4-7
Ross tried to wrestle although he was sick, but had to bow out after his first bout. Get feeling better, Champ!
JACOB KING***TIGER OF THE WEEK***
Match#1 - Lost 1-13
Match#2 - Lost 3-6
Jacob has been in his share of heartbreaking losses this season, and you can add his last bout to the list. The effort he's given all season, and especially in that last bout, has earned him one of our TIGERS OF THE WEEK. His turn to win some of those close ones will come.
CODY NULL
Match#1 - Lost 2-10
Match#2 - Lost 0-7
Matched against some superb competition, Cody made it hard to believe this is only his first year, in how he wrestled. First year guys are supposed to get pinned by these guys, but not Cody!
MIKE O'HALLORAN
Match#1 - Lost by Pin
Match#2 - Lost by Pin
The fact that Mike lost his final 2 regular season bouts doesn't take away from the tremendous improvement he's shown as this season progressed. That makes Mike a HUGE winner!
BRIK ORNDORFF
Match#1 - Won by Pin
Match#2 - Won by Pin
Brik has quietly put together an incredible 10-4 rookie season. The slap on the mat his two opponents heard at this meet wasn't so quiet, though.

DANIEL PRICE
Match#1 - Won 17-1
Match#2 - Lost 6-8 OT

TYLER SMALL
Match#1 - Won by Pin
Match#2 - Won by Forfeit
What do you get when you add two sons of a former star wrestler? Try 33-8 & counting! Just wait till year #2,3,4 and so on. I think dad may have a few records in serious jeopardy, here!
ERIC SMITH
Match#1 - Won 15-4
Match#2 - Won by Pin
Eric has really turned it on the last few meets. He's won the last 4 in a row, now! I LOVE seeing improvement, and Eric has shown a ton of it!

ZACHARY VICK
Match#1 - Lost by Pin
Match#2 - Lost 0-14
Zach is such a strong first year wrestler, he's found himself wrestling more experienced kids multiple times this year. There's no telling what kind of huge numbers he would have put up if he wrestled first year wrestlers only, but the improvement Zach got from wrestling such tough competition, beats a huge record any day! Non the less, Zach still finished with a winning record!
KEITH WEAVER
Match#1 - Won by Pin
Match#2 - Lost by Pin
4 Wins in the last three meets. Keith is headed in the right direction, and it couldn't happen to a nicer kid! Congratulations to Keith Weaver's parents for raising such a fine young man. This would be one awesome world if everyone raised their kids the way you guys are doing!
CHRIS WETHERSON
Match#1 - Lost 2-6
Match#2 - Lost 2-6
It becomes natural to find yourself rooting for a great kid like Chris. Although it was heartbreaking to see him lose these two close bouts, it's uplifting watching a kid give the 100% effort that Chris has given all season! I just hope Chris understands that winners aren't always the one's getting their hand raised at the end, and Chris is a definite winner!
RON WETHERSON
Match#1 - Won by Forfeit
Match#2 - Won 5-1
I saw this coming last year. Saw what? Saw Ron Wetherson turn himself into one of the league hammers. 11-3 & counting!
CORBIN WOOD
Match#1 - Lost by Pin
Match#2 - Won 7-5
Match#3 - Lost by Pin
I knew Corbin was something special after watching him wrestle his first match. The fact that he's gone 10-4 (all 4 losses were to more experienced kids) in his first year isn't a surprise to me at all. When I say this kid's got a bright wrestling future, I'm not kidding!
SETH WREN***TIGER OF THE WEEK***
Match#1 - Won 6-2
Match#2 - Won 8-6
In 3 seasons of coaching, Seth has officially pulled off the largest one year improvement of any other wrestler. Check these numbers out......2001-(3-13), 2002-(12-6)! Put simply, that is what every coach out there is thrilled to see.
Other Tigers of the week include;
Camden Orndorff, who has worked hard all season but was sick during match#7
Thomas Showvaker, who has missed the entire season due to a broken elbow
and Joshua Lombard,
