Wrestling season is down for the count with the Pilot Point Bearcats’ lone representative, Eli Knoblet, finishing fifth at the UIL Boys Region 2-5A Regional Wrestling Tournament on Feb. 6 and 7.
Knoblet traveled to Dallas to face off with grapplers from 60 different schools at the Ellis Davis Field House, where the top four competitors in each weight class punched their ticket to the state tournament.
“I just couldn’t be more proud of him,” Reed Eichenberger, Pilot Point head wrestling coach said. “Our region has 60 schools in it, roughly, so to finish fifth in region-2 5A out of those 60 schools is tremendous.”
