Plan of the Week, Nov 18-23:

Scrimmage:

Who: Patriot Varsity and JV

What: Scrimmage vs. Brentsville, Chantilly, Millbrook (really an enhanced practice with other schools)

When: Nov 23, 9-11AM, doors open at 8:00. We will not have a bus for this event, showtime no later than 8:30 at BDHS for warm up

Where: Brentsville District HS 12109 Aden Rd, Nokesville, VA 20181

Why: Continue to improve technique and tune up for regular season against other school athletes.

Uniform is practice attire. Headgear is advised, not required, particularly if you are fitting a new set. Dual sided mouthpieces are mandatory for wrestlers with braces.

Any questions, edwardrj@pwcs.edu

Thanks to everyone who could come out and support the team during the varsity wrestle offs.  Rosters are published to the Varsity and JV pages.  All who tried out this week have been placed on a roster, but remember that these are fluid.  Illness, injury or a win/loss in a subsequent wrestle-off could determine whether you move up or down the line up.  

The varsity wrestlers that have a weight class associated with their name on the roster are the starters at that weight class, for the other wrestlers, we will try to maximize their opportunity to wrestle throughout the season, particularly in dual and individual tournaments.  The starter is the odds on favorite to compete in the post season (districts, regionals, states) pending results of any future wrestle-offs.  

Plan for the Week, Nov 11-16:

Practice this week Monday-Friday, 6-8PM in the Aux Gym

Hydration testing for Cumba, Slingwine, Fischer at 5PM at the training room prior to practice

For those with due outs, physicals or concussion training, bring them to Monday's practice and the Assistant Athletic Director will confirm and check you in.

Showtime for Varsity and JV wrestlers is 8AM for setup and warm up.

Wrestling will start around 8:30 and be over by 10:00.

Main objective is to set the varsity lineup for our first meet on Dec 3. But also to orient new wrestlers to how we set up and run home meets and what a "real" match looks like.

Families are invited to come out for the intersquad on Saturday if you can.
