November 21, 2008 --
November 21, 2008, the first time that 11 wrestlers ever stepped onto the mat in competition. This night was a great night of wrestling and the excitement could be felt by all who were there. This was the first team from Osborne to hit the mats in at least 2 years. We did not win, but then again that isn't the point. We had a great time and won some matches while doing it.
Darnell "Biscuit" Moore started our night with a great win at 285. His huge bear like physique proved too much for Patrick Allen of Dawson County. Biscuit dominated his opponent by using his moves and strength. Biscuit was able to turn his opponent fairly early in the match and secure a pin for us.
Da'Von Dobson, a fairly recent addition to the team brought about the second win of the night. His dominance while on top was unequaled throughout the night. Arthur Brown from Dawson County was unable to battle from the bottom and was finally roled in the third period.
Last but not least, George Paye secured the final victory of the night. George was able to work Elijah Faille all over the mat with ease. He worked hard and pulled it together to grab a pin for the team.
All those who didn't win still wreslted well, and learned in the process. Omar Salem was the teams first wrestler to experience a 6 minute match and he realized why we try to train for endurance. We have a long way to go this season, but 3 wins out of 9 matches with in-experienced wrestlers is a great debut! We are looking forward to a great season!
