Good Afternoon Robinson Fans,
Thanks for all of your help throughout the years to make us as successful as we have been. There is no way we could accomplish what we have without the tradition and expectations that you set in our path. As always, we are indebted to you!
This past weekend our second season started with a bang! As a team we are the VHSL Concode Conference 5 champions, and we won the tournament by a whopping 72 points. Although we don't want to peak until the state tournament, our team came to compete, and they competed very well.
We put 11 out of 14 wrestlers into the finals, and we had 8 champions, 3 runner-ups and 2 third place winners. We will be sending 13 athletes to the regional tournament this upcoming weekend.
Our Champions were Sam Book (106 lbs), Mason Rockman (126), Dane Robbins (138), Jack Bass (152), Zak DePasquale (160), Daniel Mika (170), Cole Depasquale (182) and Jake Pinkston (285). All of our Champions looked great in the finals, especially Mason Rockman at 126 who reversed a 16-1 loss to the #1 ranked wresltler in the state with a 5-4 victory. This victory secured him the Outstanding Wrestler award for the tournament. Our runner-ups were Brandon Greyson (113), Austin Riggs (132) and JP Vittori (220). Taking 3rd were Avery Henry (145) and Max Sears (195).

Speaking of Avery Henry... This week in the Washington Post, a fantastic article and video was produced on our 145 lb wrestler. Click http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/avery-henry-born-with-a-form-of-dwarfism-thrives-on-robinson-wrestling-team/2014/02/09/6486391c-8c2b-11e3-98ab-fe5228217bd1_story.html to see the article! Our sport is the best because anyone can compete and also rise above adversity!
This Friday, we are hoping to start our 6A North Regional tournament, with he top 4 athletes moving on to the states that will be held at HOME on February 21-22. I say hoping, because there's a weather system coming our way. I've said this before, but we are about the only students on the planet who dread snow days...especially this time of year. As the forecasters prognosticate on snow totals, we are continuing our focus on the championships ahead.
As of right now, this weekend's schedule at Centreville High School look like this:
Friday – February 14
2:00 pm First round
5:45 pm First round consolation
7:30 p.m. Quarter-final championship

Let's hope by the Grace of God this storm misses us, but if it doesn't, I will keep you all aware of any changes.
Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you soon! If you would like to sponsor the state tournament in any fashion, we are looking for help! Attached is a document you can use if you wish to donate. http://gallery.mailchimp.com/1ff3e1c3c176ab6be0efb4b56/files/Wrestling_Request_Letter_2014.docx
