NARRATIVE: The nationally ranked Oviedo Men's Wrestling Team opened the season at Ft Pierce Central's Cobra Duals with a 5-0 dual record, winning over against Flagler Palm Coast in the Championship Finals by a score of 43-23. The anticipated match-up of Oviedo versus Florida's defending 1A State Team Champion Cardinal Gibbons never materialized, as Cardinal Gibbons lost in pool action to 3A (Florida big school) Flagler Palm Coast by a score of 31-29. Oviedo extends its team record of consecutive dual wins to 26 amongst tough competition. Individual nationally ranked 160 pound Jesse Robbins did not compete in this tourney, as he was out with stitches in his head from banging with individually national ranked 189 pound David Green this week at practice. Varsity wrestler Josh Keebler went down early in the competition with an ankle injury. He'll be back soon as a gamer. Next up for the Oviedo Men's Wrestling Team is the Walsh Jesuit Ironman Tournament in Ohio, the nation's top high school tournament for the past several years, and this year maybe the toughest high school in the history of high school wrestling by accounts of the wrestling experts. Let it snow in Ohio so we get the full effect! |
