Yesterday your Eagles Wrestling Team hosted their annual tournament. The results were outstanding. There were so many medals we cannot afford valuable learning time to list however it must be known that NLSS - the smallest school in LKSSAA Wrestling finished 2nd in the tournament falling short of 1st place to GLSS by only 6 points - 162 points to 156. This gives new meaning to one more wins the war. (Mr. Smit)
