I wanted to remind everyone that the beginners bracket is for first year wrestlers only this weekend at the Warrior Challenge.       I have cut and pasted a list of wrestlers that I have been able to match up for the dual at 5:00 PM on Wednesday at Vestavia Hills High School.  If you are on the list please email me back and let me know that you will be able to attend.  There will be no weigh ins and please be at the High School by 4:30 PM to warm up.  Being on the list does not guarantee you a match.  If you are not on the list, it is simply because I was not able to match you up.  However, we strongly encourage you to attend the match and support our youth, middle and high school teams.  The middle school an youth teams will wrestle first at 5:00 PM and the high school will follow.       Name John Edwards Reese Gurner Matthew Strong Charlie Hamilton Franklin Carder Topher Hays Bryant Segars Wyatt Trammell Pete Dazzio Grant McLean Nathan Myers Ben Barrentine Jack Stoves Spensor Haddock Bowman Hill Matthew Paugh Will vonEschenbach Thomas vonEschenbach Josh Smith Carter Sullivan Harrison Armstrong Tripp Gurner Rob Barrentine David Dauphin Asher Hamilton Jacob Edwards James Edwards Murphy McCallum Christian Staylor Vestavia Wrestling Club Cell: 757.362.2005 http://vestaviawrestling.com/

Update

Dixie Nationals was a huge success, both as a state and a club this past week.  Not only did we have a record numbers of wrestlers from Vestavia Wrestling Club participate, but we also competed exceptionally well.  In the state dual meet, the day before the tournament we had 8 wrestlers compete for Team Alabama including Charlie Hamilton, Matthew Paugh, Josh Smith, Asher Hamilton, Braxton Worthington, Riley Pike, Josh Rogers, Austin Gandler and John Couch.  VWC members competing along side their other Alabama Team members faired well and finished 4th and 5th as a state.  Finishing this high as a state is a huge improvement from last year when Team Alabama finished last.  Alabama is an up and coming wrestling state and it is good to be in one of the premier clubs leading the way.  In the open tournament following the dual meet we had just as much if not more success.  We had several place winners including Josh Smith, Jacob Edwards, James Edwards, Josh Rogers, Braxton Worthington, Austin Gandler, Carter Sullivan and Konnor Knopf.  Having such a high number of place winners from our club is outstanding and it goes to show that we are headed in the right direction.  I am proud of everyone that had the courage to compete at a tournament of this caliber.  It is one of the toughest tournaments in the country and Vestavia Wrestling Club did very well.            As shown on the calendar we will not be having practice on Wednesday, January 5th.  We are encouraging everyone to attend the Vestavia, Pizitz and Youth Club dual meet which starts at 5:00PM at Vestavia High School.  I am matching up our wrestlers with other wrestlers from Alabaster and Clay Wrestling Clubs.  I will contact you this week if we have a match for you on Wednesday.  Most of our members will not be able to compete in this event simply because there are not enough athletes from the other clubs.  However, we strongly encourage everyone to attend the dual meet and watch all three dual meets (Youth, Pizitz and Vestavia High).       Dixie Nationals marks the half way point for Vestavia Wrestling Club's wrestling season.  It has been a great first half and we have built a strong base to build off of for the rest of the season.  It is time to start reflecting on our goals and  see what we need to do to accomplish them.  The Warrior Challenge is coming up this Saturday, January 8th and we need everyone to be in attendance!  We will weigh in as usual on Thursday after practice.  It is very important that everyone attend the rest of the tournaments this year to prepare for the state tournament which is coming up fast.           Team Alabama gear is now posted on our site!  If you plan on attending any out of state tournament and would like to purchase this year's Team Alabama gear, please do so by January 17th.       Christian Staylor Vestavia Wrestling Club Cell: 757.362.2005 http://vestaviawrestling.com/
