**December 2007**Hidden
Valley Invitational
Brendan MacCormac 5th 130lbs
Dylan Schumacher 3rd 119lbs
AJ Poe 4th 215lbs
Great Performance by a young squad that will only get better as the year
progresses. We will compete over break at Staunton River and at
Garfield.
**Welcome to the
2007-2008 season of E.C. Glass Wrestling.** This season promises
to be a key event in the progression of our program. The loss of
such standouts as Chris Robbins and Jonathan Stump along with with
4 other seniors looked to break up a continuity of starters from the
past 4 years. Yet even with the loss of these starters it looks to
be a stronger team from top to bottom. Dylan Schumacher has
returned to us from Paris bringing with him 3 district finals
appearances and 1 title. He is the favorite to win the district
and should be highly ranked at 119 lb in the state. Many of the
problems of last year have been worked out as the weight classes have
separated allowing us to fill several deep at every classification.
A key transfer in middle school dominator Evan Jones and the addition of
new light weights strengthens our lineup immensely. Bobby Ibarra
has emerged as the definite leader in the room and we look to have him
for another year as he is only a JR.
Thell Campbell and
Nick Moon should crack the lineup for the first time. Wrestling
behind Syed Asghar and Jonathan Stump last year, these two should
surprise many of their opponents. Bennett Whitehouse has added
tremendous strength and endurance this off season and Brendon MacCormac
has added 20 pounds of muscle to his frame this summer. We as a
coaching staff are tremendously excited and look forward to seeing all
of you mat side.

** HILL CITY DUAL
RESULTS**
TO
ALL;
Attached is the results information from the 2nd annual
hill city duals wrestling event @ E. C. Glass High School.
HILLTOPPER
DIVISION
Brookville High School over powered Seminole District
revival Staunton River High School for First place.
For Staunton River to gain the chance to participate in
the finals they had to overcome a three way tie in their pool with Lord
Botetourt and EC Glass. To break the three way tie the tournament
needed to revert to the High School rule book and go the second level with
EC Glass losing out, but Staunton River and Lord Botetourt had to continue
to the 5th level of the tie breaker system in order to see who wrestled
where.
JAMES
RIVER DIVISION
Liberty High School won the tie breaker with Patrick
County High School. Both teams finished the day with a record of 4
wins and 1 lost. Amherst was in the hunt to make it a three way tie
but in the last round they tied with Broadway. The tournament needed
to go to the second level of the tie breaker system to break that match.
Broadway edged out Amherst for the shot at first place putting them in
fourth for the day.
