This past weekend saw the East grapplers compete in this season’s Chesmont League tournament. This annual competition brings the 12 league teams together to do some early rumbling in December. East entered 11 wrestlers, some brand new, a few seasoned. After a full day of action, the young Cougars battled and clearly left a mark! East finished 5th out of the 12 teams, amassing 126 points. Freshman Ricky Jewell (152) had an incredible tournament and won the championship for the team’s lone gold. Felix Mason (215) also caught some fire and finished with silver. Team co-captain Valen Piff (121) wrestled back hard for 3rd, Cade McDowell (172) took 4th, Frankie Hydutsky (133) and Tommie Grizzanti (189) regrouped to take 5th, and Stephen Elinski finished in 6th. In Friday’s JV Jamboree, East had an excellent showing as well! Caleb Aikens (189), Tommy Robson (133), Mohamed Elkouly (152), and Nick Capell (145) all went undefeated with 3-0 records on the evening. The result was positive, but there is much work to do as the lion share of the season lies ahead. Next up, a rematch with Conestoga at mid-week. GOOD LUCK Cougars!
