Our 8th Wrestler of the Week for the 2006/2007 season is:
Drew Christensen

Max Potter(left) Setting up his Take Down
Our 5th Wrestler of the Week for the 2006/2007 season is:
Max Potter
Max has been bringing his “A” game to every practice and working hard on his fundamentals. He has been putting in extra time at home working on his takedown defense and has proven himself in tournament competition. At the Lake Stevens tournament, Max missed his usual 55lb Bantam bracket by a little and wound up in unfamiliar territory in the 60lb group. Not to be intimidated, Max went 3-0 to win the tournament, scoring one fall along the way. His choice was always on his feet and was never taken down. Great job Max… Keep up the hard work.
