Taking a break during the Powerade

We stopped by the local pizza shop. This reminds me of my days in high school.

Tigers move to 7-0 on the season.

The tigers improved to 7-0 (2-0 in conference) on the 08-09 campaign with a 59-9 victory over Southern Durham.  Freshman Roscoe Burnette, Captains Corey Mock and Josh Craig, and Jon Lee picked up pins.  The JV's won all 4 of their matches last night as well.  Gabe Gran, Bobby Nelson and Jaun Collazzo each had a pin.  

I will be uploading the matches to You Tube when I get time.  I will post them here as they are uploaded.

CHHS Picks up a Conference Win over Northern Durham

The Tigers started their defense of the conference title with a big win over Northern Durham. The wrestling took place in the old gym with no clock and score board, but the team stepped up and wrestled really well. Bobby Nelson and Nick Speaker's pins fired up the team and were the keys to victory. Not to be overlooked were the performances of Andrew Hertzberg and Matt Huge versus Northern's big two, Takla and Cravin.
