PEMBROKE, N.C. - The Apprentice School wrestling team made its
annual trek to Pembroke, N.C. on Saturday to compete in the 2007
Pembroke Classic and had a few wrestlers fare well in the 30-team
event.
Senior Eric Lybarger was one round from wrestling for fifth
place as he went 4-2 at 184 pounds. Sophomore Kevin Hill had
a team-best 5-2 record at 125 pounds and was also a round away from
wrestling for fifth place.
Sophomore Matt Perry advanced to the quarterfinals at 149 pounds
before losing his first match and was a round away from the
fifth-place match and went 3-2 on the day.
Next up for the Builders will be a two-tournament weekend in
Pennsylvania. They will compete on November 17 at the East
Stroudsburg Open and then the next day at the Ursinus "Fall Brawl"
Tournament.
