Nick's competition and win on Thursday, February 25 in Chattanooga clinched the 4th place spot in the state tournament for Division II.  We're so proud of you, Nick, and look forward to your continued career as a Ram!

The Rams had a tough day of regional competition at Catholic High School where they competed against some of the top Division II wrestlers in Tennessee for the right to wrestle at the state tournament.  Senior Dalton Brown, reflected on the team and their season and commented, "This has been the best team I have wrestled with.  Thanks for the great year."

Ryan and Nick will be competing next Thursday, Feb. 25, at the Convention Center in Chattanooga.  Go, RAMS!

The RAMS wrestled well and defeated all four of their opponents.  Junior Noah Bruhin (220 lbs) was outstanding even in his two losses to two of the top 220 pounders in Class A-AA.  He lost to a two time defending State Champion from Elizabethton and a ranked wrestler  from Sullivan East by major decisions but gave them everything they could handle. 

Junior Nick Krauss (145 lbs) also wrestled well with 3 falls and leads the team in wins with 22. 

Congratulations to Sophomore Ryan Comfort on his 100th win of his career. (photo credit: Mark Cooper)
