The C.B. South Wrestling Team opened their season at the Pottstown Invitation. The team entered 10 of the 13 weight classes in the varsity field. A strong day 1 performance where the team came out hot, winning 13 of 15 individual bouts (9 by pinfall), left the team sitting in 2nd place. On a very long 12 hour Day 2, the team slipped a bit going 18-14 and finished the tournament in 4th place.
Senior Jake Neill (145lb) and Sophomores John Shields(133lb) & Vince Mokos (114lb) went 3-1 on the weekend to finish in 2 place in their brackets. Zach Thomas (Sr/121lb) bounced back from a loss in the semifinals to win 3rd going 4-1. Peter Carmody (Sr.) placed 5th in the 160lb bracket with a 4-2 record while JP Kervatt-Dawson (Sr./127lb) & Hashim Afridi (Fr./107lb) ended in 7th place
The coaching staff is pleased with the progress the JV squad is making, especially with so many competing in their first matches ever. Collectively, JV went 31-25 with 16 pins.
Next competition: JV competes Dec. 9th at the Quakertown JV Round Robin.
