This past Saturday, January 6th, 2024, the Revere Middle School wrestling team traveled to Uniontown to take part in the 2024 Lake Middle School Blue Streaks Invitational Tournament.  This is a very prestigious middle school wrestling tournament with outstanding wrestling programs from all over northeast Ohio.

At the end of the tournament, our wrestlers had competed in 21 individual matches against wrestlers from the 15 other teams that had come to wrestle at the Lake Athletic Complex.

Individually, 8 wrestlers had an opportunity to represent Revere, and 2 of our 8 wrestlers finished in the top six in their respective weight classes. 

The first place champion for REVERE was: Carter Patton at 98 lbs..  Carter is currently 11 - 6 on the season with 5 pins.

The fourth place wrestler for REVERE was: Matteo Brienza at 104 lbs..  Matteo is currently 9 - 6 on the season with 4 pins.

Carter came into the tournament as an unseeded wrestler and proceeded to beat the 4th seed from Twinsburg, the 1st seed from Hudson, and the 2nd seed from Alliance.  Carter's finals match against Alliance was certainly one of the most exciting matches of the tournament.  The score went back and forth over the first three periods, but Carter prevailed with a takedown in overtime and won 9 - 7 !!!

Matteo also came into the tournament as an unseeded wrestler.  He had a solid day of wrestling as he won twice by pin and once by major decision on his way to a fourth place finish.

For his efforts on Saturday, Carter Patton was selected as our Wrestler of the Week !!!

Today, Wednesday, January 10th, our wrestlers will travel to Barberton Middle School to compete against wrestlers from Aurora and Barberton.  All the action is scheduled to begin at 5:30pm. 

If you see one of our wrestlers in class, or in the hallway, wish him luck this afternoon !!!

GO  MINUTEMEN  !!!
