The scholastic wrestling season went up another notch for Pilot Point, with the Bearcats’ varsity wrestlers competing at the district tournament on Jan. 31.
Junior Eli Knoblet and seniors Augustus Westbrook and Jackson Burgess traveled to Creekview High School in Carrollton and faced off with grapplers from 14 other area schools, with the Top 4 finishers in each weight class advancing to regionals.
“Our guys competed hard and competed really well,” said Reed Eichenberger, Pilot Point head wrestling coach. “Gus went out and won his first match of the day in an upset, where he went the full distance and beat a guy from Colleyville Heritage 19-15. Jackson worked his butt off, and Eli finished second overall in his weight class in the tournament.”
