The Rumble

Tagg competed in one of the biggest wrestling tournaments in the State this past weekend.

There were 39 wrestlers in his 190 pound bracket. 

Haslam is such a great supporter of Tagg

Zac and Roger love to offer advice, and Tagg takes it very well. 

None of our Varsity wrestlers placed at this tournament, but Tagg wrestled SIX matches over two days, and won FOUR of his matches.
Tagg would have come in either 9, 10, 11, or 12th place out of  39 wrestlers.
We are very proud of his effort and hard work ! 

Here is a link to one of his exciting matches !
