State Tournament Results

Five of our wrestlers attended state qualifier tournaments and all five qualified. Better yet, each won a match at this past weekend's Little Kids State Tournament at Milton High School. All wrestlers fear going "two and out" in a double elimination tournament. Congratulations to Jeremiah Collier, Jac Carlson, David Bertrand, Joey Bertrand, and Jack Brierley for their accomplishments this year in the state tournament. Each won a match and Jack Brierley won two matches before ultimately being eliminated. Great year for all of our wrestlers!

Tournament Results - February 13th

Fifteen of our wrestlers attended the Georgia Grind's True Beginners Tournament. As expected, the competition was fierce with wrestlers traveling in from neighboring states to attend the prior days tournament at South Paulding High School and continue wrestling the following day in either the Grind's open or beginner tournaments. Overall, we posted a combined record of 20-20. Five wrestlers were first year, including Max Stevens who had not wrestled in a tournament before. Jonathan Spratling earned his first win. Overall, our first year wrestlers did well with a combined record of 6-9. Congratulations to Jeremiah Collier and Jonathan Hammond for taking first and Harry Abrahams, Joey Bertrand, David Bertrand, Jac Carlson, and Kyle Denney for taking second. It was great year overall, and we are very thankful for being part of it.

Dunwoody Patch Story on Nava/Breffle Wrestling Club

The Dunwoody Patch published a story on the Nava/Breffle Wrestling Club on January 2, 2011. Don't be alarmed about references to capacity issues, coaching shortages, and future caps on club membership. We are committed to introducing the sport of wrestling to as many area kids as we can. We are humbled by our growth but optimistic about the future. We are confident that we will find ways to develop our returning wrestlers into future champions as well as offer an introduction to wrestling to all that are interested.
