Newspaper Page TextThe Wiregrass Farmer, December 24, 2008 - Page 7 Rebel grapplers young but gaining experience by Mary Taylor After an extended football season, wrestling is now well underway. The wrestling team went to the Westover High School to compete in a tourna ment. Only three guys made it to the finals. Zane Hasty wrestled to win a fourth place medal for his weight class while Cody Whiddon achieved a second place medal in his weight class. The team was somewhat disappointed by the results of the Westover Tournament because they felt like they could have done better. The team vowed to wrestle harder at the next tournament. On Tuesday the 9th, Tift County High wrestlers were hosted here. The Middle school easily put Tifton team down, but the high school team was defeated by the Blue Devils. On Friday the 12th, the high school wrestlers trav eled to Berrien County. Though they lost both matches to Thomas County Central and the Berrien County Rebels, there was much improvement. Saturday saw the wrestlers in Cook County com peting in the 32nd Annual Cook County Classic. Wrestler of the team made it further through this tournament. Cody Whiddon received third place. Coach Lyons told the team after wards, “We’re a young team. We have boys who have never participated in another sport wrestling for the first time.” He also feels like the team is mov ing forward not backwards. Rebs advance to Christmas Tournament with winning season CODY WHIDDON took third at the Hornet Classic. Photos Rene Hasty by Brad Christian The Turner County Rebels and Lady Rebels both had suc cessful weeks as the boys won all three of their games and the girls won two out of three. BOYS Playing AAAA Thomas County Central for the second time in ten days, the Rebels again jumped out to a big lead on the Yellow Jackets down in Thomasville, and never looked back, cruising to a 75-61 victo ry that really wasn’t even that close. The Rebels had beaten the Yellow Jackets 61-39 on December 5th in Ashburn. Todd Lawson led the way with 22 points. Ternell Davis was next with 18 points. And sophomore Breon Dixon post ed a triple double with 12 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 blocks. Next up the boys participat ed in the GMC Old Capital Classic in Milledgeville over the weekend. It wasn’t a true tournament as no first place trophies were awarded but it was obvious the Rebels were the best team there. It was a different experience for the Rebels and Lady Rebels as the gym, which is normally played in by Georgia Military College, only had bleachers on one side of the gym. It was reminiscent of a gym you might see in AAU ball or perhaps at a YMCA. Nonetheless, it proved to not be a distraction. In Friday’s game, the boys jumped out to a 12-point lead against Putnam County at the half and completely dominated the second half, finally winning by a score of 85-40. It was the highest scoring night for the Rebels on the season. Pearce had a season high 27 points. Chris Spears was next with 16 points and Lawson had 10 points. In Saturday’s game, the Rebels took on Johnson County. It was a game that was physical and low-scoring and it showed with the half-time score being 23-11. It was more of the same in the second half, with the Rebels finally winning 47-29. The Rebels, by nature, like to run and get a lot of their points in transition, but Saturday night, they proved they could win this type of game also. Pearce led the way with 14 points and Spears chipped in with 10. Unofficially, the Rebels have had 25 dunks through 7 games. That deserves a wow! GIRLS The girls started off the week with a tough loss to Thomas County Central by the score of 47-35. The Lady Rebels actually led 22-18 at the half, but the second half was filled with a lot of turnovers and missed opportunities. Demetria King led the way with 15 points. The Lady Rebels also par ticipated in the tournament in Milledgeville. They took on Twiggs County in the first game. The Lady Rebels jumped out to an 18-6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, cruising to a 52-27 victory. Every Lady Rebel saw playing time in this game. King led the way with 16 points and Kadriana Howard added 8. 12 different Lady Rebels scored. On Saturday, the Lady Rebels took on Johnson County and again jumped out to a big lead, leading 10-2 after one quarter. From there on, it was more of the same and again everyone got to play. The final score ended up being 60-24. Aquera Cross led the way with 14 points and Howard chipped in with 11 points. Head Coach Sherri Harris was quite pleased with her team’s play throughout the weekend. “I’m very pleased with how we are progressing. We are looking great on defense right now and making tremendous improvement on offense.” This Week’s Games Both the Rebels (6-1) and Lady Rebels (4-3 with all three losses coming to higher classi fication teams) will participate in the Ronalda Pierce Christmas tournament at the Civic Center. This has become an annual tradition in honor of the late Ronalda Pierce, who starred for the Lady Rebels earlier this decade and went on to play col- legeiate ball at Florida State. Due to Christmas, the tour nament will take place on Saturday and Monday instead of the usual Friday and Saturday format. The Rebels will be taking on Calhoun County Saturday night while the girls will be taking on Cook County. t aM’Pffl 6 weeks * 1 sq - $30 2 sq - $60 ■r 4 \\ J Any questions?
