Victory at Lemoore Duals for FUHS wrestlers

On December 9 and 10, the Fallbrook High School varsity wrestlers went to the Lemoore Dual Tournament near Fresno. Duals are competitions between school teams in 14 different weight categories. Each team had eight matches to determine their final standings. Fallbrook’s ‘Band of Warriors’ went 6 & 2 to earn third place overall out of the 24 teams that attended!

On an individual basis, Jeff Albritton went undefeated, earning first place at 125 pounds. Other wrestlers of note were: Nolan Hamblen at 7 & 1, Joey Granata at 6 & 1, Evan Anwyl at 6 & 2 and Jordan Huelse at 6 & 2.

That same weekend the freshmen were busy at the Rancho Buena Vista Freshman Tournament. Sixteen schools were present at this individual competition, where nine out of the 10 wrestlers placed in the top five. Haden Lundy at 125 pounds and Mike Jennings at 152 pounds paced third, Brett Jones and Dillon glass (both at 103 pounds), Garrett Bardon at 119 pounds, Garrett Robins at 145 pounds, Brian Long at 171 pounds and Josh Davis at 215 pounds placed fourth, and Ross Kohn at 145 pounds placed fifth.
