Re-Match Possibility?

Adam Mackie had a memorable pin in the Regional tournament final against Steve Loiseau.  We were lucky that team photographer, Shawn Sterner caught it on record!  He is definitely pinned!  Any re-match between the pair will be in the finals at the State Tournament since they are seeded in opposite sides of the bracket.  Loiseau will have to get past undefeated Dakota DesLauriers before he can have his chance at Mackie again.

Let's all try to figure out how to pronounce these names before the Tournament starts.  Why can't everyone have easy names to pronounce like Renda and Mackie?

The Beginning of the End

Today Mackie and Renda drilled with the Johnson's duo (Marcus and Jan) at Governor Mifflin.  Bullet Wrestlers are heading out to Hershey tonight to avoid any snow-related issues.  They will get a chance to drill tomorrow at the Giant Center and then the tournament begins at 9am on Thursday.  If you can't make it out to Hershey, there are a few sites you might be able to get updates.  If you have a twitter account, try following @BulletAthletics.  This is the twitter account for the school and hopefully our AD will be providing updates along the way.  Another possibility is PennLive (http://highschoolsports.pennlive.com). They were updating brackets last week fairly quickly.  Flowrestling may have live video coverage but  you will probably have to pay to watch.  Best idea is to come out to Hershey and see it live!  Let's enjoy the last of Pete and Adam's high school matches.

Best of Luck to both wrestlers!

Bullets Get Some Good Press

Congrats to Adam and Pete.  Getting a lot of well-deserved press this week.

Did They Tie the Record?

According to the unofficial history of Bullet Wrestling, the most Regional Champions we ever crowned was two, back when Joey Lovello and Anthony Corpora were both champs. The Regional Tournament was started in 1999.  Prior to that wrestlers went straight from Districts to States.

So Pete and Adam make it into the history books by tying the record.  Looking for them to create more Bullet history this week.  Good Luck men.
