His opponent had just landed on his back and appeared to injure him. During the timeout it appeared to those of us in the stands like Billy might not be able to continue. We, of course, were happily wrong. Billy not only finished the match, but staged a dramatic comeback and ended up pinning his opponent to win the 170- pound bracket! His courageous wrestling earned him the "Toughest Competitor" award for the tournament! Here are his comments.

That in itself doesn't sound that impressive, but Jeremy is in his first year of wrestling and as happens with most new wrestlers, there is a price to be paid on the mat. Jeremy has been working hard and though not winning on the mat has been getting better. Jeremy's first dividends for his hard work came in the form of his first victory, a first period pin against his opponent from Comsewogue. The entire team was up cheering like the win had decided the match. It was a true team moment. Congratulations Jeremy!

Tyler took the mat with his team trailing 33-28. A technical fall would tie the match, but Longwood held the tie-breaker so Tyler HAD to get a pin for his team. Well, he did. He's a young man of quick action and few words.
