Every Cloud has a Silver Lining!

Ok, I know it's a little cliche. But, in every loss a team needs to find some good things to talk about. Coaches need to take losses and use them to build on. Tonight the Railroaders were defeated by South Adams in an important early season Wrestling match. We had some kids wrestle pretty well, only to make some costly mistakes. Many of those mistakes ended up in Pins.  The Starfires had numerous pins. Garrett was led by two major decisions by Austin Gibson and Austin McCray. Hayden Lee also won a key match against a very tough opponent at 113. We were also happy to see Brayden wrestle his first match of the season and come out with a win. Travis Carunchia also ended up with a victory.

After going 2 - 3 this weekend, the Railroaders are now 3 - 3 on the season with one loss in the ACAC. The Starfires have another good team this year and they will be a force in the ACAC and IHSAA tournament. We have several things we can learn from tonight and I am sure Coach Fielden and his staff will make sure we improve.

The team will travel to Snider next Tuesday and then host it's next ACAC match next Thursday. Good Luck Wrestlers!
