Hey Robinson wrestling fans,
Thanks again for all of your support and hard work throughout the years. I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family, and we hope you can give us a holiday present by following the Rams carefully throughout the year!

We began our dual meet season well on December 22nd with 3victories over Northern Virginia opponents. We started with a victory over Fairfax 46-27, then we followed it with a victory over Brooke Pointe (Stafford) 51-24 and we finished the day with a victory over Annandale 49-22. We had some fantastic individual performances, and we hope that these team victories will lead to success throughout the remainder of the year. In the Annandale match, our match began at 130 when Santiago Valdez defeated the returning state runner-up 3-1. This set the tone for the entire match! There were many fine performances throughout the night, and I want you all to see them this season!
You can see all of our dual meet results here:
Also, here is a link to our individual records.
The night was also fantastic because it was Alumni night! We had over 100 alumni at the event, and they spanned the decades with folks from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s and 2010’s. It was great to see so many fans, and I hope we can keep you all vested for the rest of the year.
The team was fortunate on the 24th to have Bobby DeProspero (3 X State champ from the late 70’s and early 80’s) to come to practice and give a short but affective clinic! After the years, his technique stands the test of time, and it was fantastic to have the kids see the rich history and tradition of our program on the mat! We also have been fortunate to see a lot of our alumni and friends working with the team throughout the season and over the holiday break…We can’t thank you all enough!
On Tuesday, December 28th, we will leave for the always tough Manheim Lions tournament at Manheim Central High School (400 Adele Ave, Manheim, PA). Every year, we have improved our performance against the toughest teams on the East coast, and we are hoping that this year’s holiday tournament is no different! We will wrestle teams from PA like perennial powerhouses Easton, Reynolds, Kiski Area, Bald Eagle Area, Cumberland Valley, North Allegheny, Shikellamy and many others. If you are in the Manheim area or you want to see some great wrestling the schedule is below.
