Holt, U of D, and Utica Tournaments
All the Bulldog wrestlers were busy on Saturday, January 22. The varsity A team went to Holt, the varsity B team went to U of D and the JV went to Utica.
The Holt tournament had 14 teams and some fantastic competition. Romeo only had 12 of the 14 weight classes covered which made it a little difficult, but, the Bulldogs wrestled tough all day! After winning the first 3 dual meets, Romeo had state-ranked and always tough Holt and Bedford to finish the day. After a tough loss to Holt that had turned into a crazy, controversial dual the Bulldogs lost a heartbreaker in the last match to Bedford. There was a lot to be excited about with much improvement from all wrestlers. A few tough individual losses in each dual could have easily turned the tables on the final score.
