At 105 lbs, Miles Carpenter won all three of his matches putting him in first place. At 215 lbs, Abe Hilbert won two matches and lost one putting him in second place. At 265 lbs, Holden Bass won all three matches putting him in first place. The eighth-grade wrestlers had some tough matches, but did very well in their second meet of the season.
NCMS wrestlers are starting to understand the sport more and are winning more matches, but they still have so much to learn. The boys are hoping to do better at their next meet.
“It was good for our second meet and everyone put forth their maximum effort,” said Miles Carpenter.
