Great job men!

Special thank you to Coach Jason Julian, Coach Clint Morrow and Coach Felix Baca for coaching our Chaparral wrestler’s this weekend!

Last evening the Banquet for the Chaparral Youth Wolverines was held in the Common area at Chaparral High School.  We were able to take a few moments to thank the Parents, Volunteers, and Coaches that helped make our season memorable.

Awards were presented to our Rising Stars, as well as the Mark Elgin Memorial.  Two of our wrestlers were selected as this year’s Outstanding Wrestler (Pictures posed under the Photo Section)

JT Stancil, Chaparral High School Senior & decorated wrestler, was our guest speaker.  JT provided our youngsters with words of encouragement and a recipe for how to succeed in life.  “Listen to your Coach and to your Parents”

We would also like to thank Louise Cortez & Gretchen Reece for planning and hosting such a wonderful event.

We look forward to seeing all of the Freestylers next Fall.

This week’s Greco/Freestyle Tournament will be held at Cherokee Trail High School.
Greco will be on Friday April 19th & Freestyle on Saturday April 20th.
