Wrestler Brings Home a State Championship
Posted by willardr2 on February 23, 2007
I know that I’ve already recognized the wrestlers who qualified for state, but I feel that one more recognition is well deserved. Congratulations to Taylor Ball, Garrett Mayfield, Caleb Gibbons, and Chris McMullin on participating in the state wrestling tournament last weekend. Caleb officially became the first Willard wrestler to medal at the state tournament earning a 6th place finish! Chris then became the first Willard wrestler to bring home a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! Good job men!!!
Congratulations to the Lady Tigers on their upset victory over Marshfield in the district tournament on Monday. The girls then played in their first district championship game in 23 years against the #1 ranked team in the state, Bolivar. They fought hard before falling 51-56.
Good luck to the Tigers tonight as they will play Marshfield for the Class 4, District 9 championship. They defeated Bolivar 71-39 in the semifinals. Game time is 7:00pm and doors will open at 5:00pm. If the Tigers should win tonight they will play in the Sectional game in Sedalia on Wednesday. Game time will be 6:00pm.
Spring sports will start up on Monday and Mother Nature is trying to blow them away! Good luck to all the athletes who will be trying out for track, girl’s soccer, boy’s golf, and baseball.
It’s good to be a Tiger!
