Co-Captain Todd Allen (Hodgenville, KY), senior Nate Jolly (Cincinnati, OH) and junior Matthew Reis (Alexandria, KY) made the ten-hour drive to Lindenwood College and competed at their respective weight class divisions.
Todd Allen wrestled at the 174Ib weight class and did not do as well as he had expected to and commented, "I wrestled bad and lost to a guy I beat last year. I just didn't bring enough to the table." Although disappointed by the loss, Allen said, "It's okay because I got to see some of the competition and I'll be ready when it is time for the ‘big show'."
Senior Nate Jolly went 1-2 at the 157Ib weight class wrestling some of his best matches by far according to Co-Captain Todd Allen. "Jolly only went 1-2 but wrestled smart and the match he won was the best I have ever seen him compete in. If he continues at this pace, he'll be ready come March," stated Allen.
Junior Matthew Reis wrestled at the 165Ib weight class going 4-2. Reis was a take down away from going to the third and fourth place round. For Reis the competition was needed as he said," We are doing the right things in practice and I felt good out there on the mat. The weight lifting and the extra workouts are going to really pay off."
The Patriots will return to the mat as a team as they host their annual Patriot Open on Saturday, November 5th.
