Beamerball 566 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 McCall also became Lee High's first wrestling state champ. Probably one of the better years for Lee High's program too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap the Mat 32 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Congrats to Dylan Cook 195 State Champ from Graham! He is Graham's first since 1971 when Adolphus McClanahan won the Unlimited Weight Class. Dylan's season record was 51-2 and his victory in the State Finals extended his match winning streak to 39 this season. His Career Record is 97-16. Dylan was also 2A West Sub-Region Champ, 2A Western Regional Champ, and Agie Skeens Champ. Congrats to Hunter Cook 4th/160/109 wins, Kyshon Lee 3rd/170/108 wins, and Jon Jennings 4th/220/62 wins. This is the most wrestlers Graham has placed in a State Tournament. These four wrestlers placed 5th as a team, which is also Graham's highest team finish. The Wrestling Team has posted 18 winning seasons since 1990, but the last three seasons have been very successful. 2011-2012 Team was 29-0, MED Champions & 4th in Region C - Dustin Hagerman placed 5th/106 and Everett Vest placed 7th/285 at the State Tournament. 2012-2013 Team was 28-2, MED Champions, & 5th in Region C - Dustin Hagerman placed 4th/113 and Everett Vest placed 7th/220 at the State Tournament. This year's Team was 22-3, 5th 2A West Sub-Region, and 6th 2A Western Regional. The G-Men lose four Seniors from this year's team. Dylan Cook and Kyshon Lee are Juniors and will be back next season.
