The Ellis Junior High Wrestling team kicked off their season with matches on Thursday at Oakley. The girls’ team has three members and they were able to will five out of the six matches that they wrestled. Jersee Fabrizius and Piper McClung are the 8th grade members while Lyla Richards is the lone 7th grader. This is the first year of wrestling for all three of them. The boys team has twelve participants with four 8th graders and eight 7th grade team members. The boys team also had many first-year wrestlers. “I was pleased with how the team competed in the event with this being the first time that most had ever wrestled”. Asher Haag and Westin Vine were able to win all three of their matches at the event. The tournament at Larned was postponed until Saturday February 4th due to the weather. This week the team will travel to Hill City for matches on Thursday and then hit the road again on Saturday for a tournament at Hoisington. Our lone home event will take place on Thursday February 2nd starting at 4:00pm. The results from the wrestling at Oakley are as follows:
