Bullets Earn 6 Medals

The Bullet's hard work is only beginning to pay-off earning them 6 medals in this weekend's BCIAA Individual Tournament and 5th place in the team standings.  Freshman wrestler at 106 and fourth seed earned his first place medal pinning his opponent in the finals match.  Pete Renda scored a tech fall (16-0) against Schulykill Valley's Joey Waack in the finals match.  Adam Mackie easily controlled Marcus Johnson in his final's match (7-0) and also earned a first place medal for the Bullets.  Dan Schmeck lost a very close match in the semi-finals but dominated in the consolation bracket and took 3rd place.  Langston thrilled the fans with his close matches throughout the entire bracket and earned 5th place with a take down in the last seconds of the match.  Austin Weller earned his sixth place medal loosing in OT but showing tremendous fight and improvement.

All wrestlers are showing great improvement.  None of them are afraid of hard work.  Tough week ahead with matches against Schuylkill Valley on Wednesday and Wyomissing on Friday.

Enjoy the picture of the team and coaching staff celebrating after the tournament.  The person standing behind Coach Lovello is Kevin Oswald who will be helping the team out in the second half of the season.
