Bobcat Wrestling has had a busy few days. It started Saturday 2/4 at the JV District tournament where the boys placed 2nd as a team, and the girls were the DISTRICT 5-5A champions.
Standouts in their separate divisions included:
Charles Hatcher 4th Place
Austin Penland 1st Place
Dominic Nunez 1st Place
Brady Gordon 2nd Place
Lucas Martinez 2nd Place
Jayden Nunez 3rd Place
Tatiana Spencer 1st Place
Katie Loyd 1st Place
Then the varsity competed on Monday 2/6, and exceeded everyone's expectations. Every athlete competed at high level, and every athlete picked up a win. We ended up with 18 Regional Qualifiers, the most ever for Benbrook. The boys finished with a strong 4th place finish (out of 16), and a short-handed girls team finished 3rd.
