Wrestling continued from IB
can get on an opponent,” he said. “How long
can you hold them there, how high can you lift
them in the air and make them land on their
back. How quickly can you do it.”
Scoring is based on a five-point scale, Horton
said. Five points are awarded for a takedown
when a wrestler throws an opponent and the
opponent’s body goes completely above the
wrestlers and lands on the mat in control.
Three points are awarded for a throw that takes
an opponent off his feet onto his back, and so
on.
Points are also awarded for a reversal, for
exposure, by penalty or by an opponent going
out of bounds.
Horton said so far, the kids are responding
very strongly. In a recent tournament, three of
their wrestlers brought home second place hon
ors, while others recorded third place results.
In fact, all of the programs wrestlers have
placed in every tournament, with results rang
ing from first to third.
The team will be attending their biggest
tournament yet this weekend. On May 28-30,
they will take part in the Southeast Regional
Freestyle-Greco tournament at the Gwinnett
Center in Duluth, where the boys and girls will
all get to wrestle.
Horton said he would like to see this program
expand and grow and he would like to see their
wrestlers continue to develop.
“I want a wrestler that can go on the mat,
lose a close match, and still walk off that mat
without losing his temper,” he said. “(I want
them to) stay in control, have a good face and
go off in the comer and think about how he can
get better.”
For more information on the team or the pro
gram, you can contact coach Marty Robinson
at 706-654-1386.

"88 Mustang to the finals against Wesley Anglin
of Carlton in his classically red "51 Ford Track.
Simmons gained an advantage with his .095

start. Although Anglin had the better ET in 5.83
seconds at 121.26 mph, Simmons’ light secured
the win for his 5.92 second, 110.20 mph ran.
