Week 1 Wrestler of the Week

8th Grader, Jake Nohre has been selected as the Knight Wrestler of the Week.  He started his varsity wrestling debut with two wins.  The first came against Pelican Rapids.  Jake beat a wrestler that he had dropped matches on 4 previous meetings.  Jake then claimed his second victory that night against his 106 lb opponent from Ottertail Central.  Since that time Jake has also claimed two additional victories and is currently 4-0 on the season.

Jake has always been undersized, yet pound-for-pound he is one of the most technical and powerful wrestlers in the room.  Coaches use Jacob as an example of how to stay in good position while wrestling.  Although naturally talented, Jacob has spent a considerable amount of time on the mat and has put on thousands of miles on the road traveling to practice and to tournaments for over 7 years.  Jacob is the single wrestler at this time from Evansville.

Good Job Jake and Keep up the Great Work.

(Also - Thanks to Tim and Julie as they have put on just as many miles in the last several years.)
