George is a junior at 126 lbs. Yesterday at the 19-team Edgemont Tournament (one of the largest tournaments in Section 1), George dominated his entire weight class, not only winning the tournament but gaining valuable bonus points for the team in EVERY SINGLE match he wrestled. He finished the day with 2 pins and a major decision, which included a tremendous 3rd period pin in the Championship Finals, as he upset #1-seed, Stepinac’s Adrian Hyman-Martin.
This is not only George’s first career Edgemont Tournament Title but also his first career championship in any varsity tournament. George’s performance was instrumental in our 2nd place team finish at the tournament – even more impressive considering we only entered 11 wrestlers (out of the 17 the rules allowed).
Earlier in the week George made quick work of Joseph Montalvo of Hastings with a 34-second pin to help lift Edgemont to an undefeated League Championship.
George is a two-time Sectional Place finisher.
