Guest old_school Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 What is sad is Tazewell wouldn't lose these matches as a team if they had enough wrestlers for every weight class. It is hard to win team matches when forfeiting some many weight classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Town Ty 10 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 We usually start out between twenty and thirty wrestlers, but they all quit about the time of the Skeens tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
