Hundreds of wrestlers take to the mat at Fox

 

 
 
 

Former teammates on the football field, though adversaries on the wrestling mat, a pair of key contributors to the Terry Fox football program found themselves lined up eye to eye in last week's Raven Invitational wrestling tournament.

And once the dust settled, it was Mate McLeod-Genest who bested Brett Boyce in what was an all Fox matchup in the senior boys 78-kilogram final.

McLeod-Genest, who went 4-0 at the meet, was also named the Outstanding Senior Male Wrestler and helped his Fox team to a third-place overall finish behind Gleneagle and New Westminster.

A former back with Fox's senior football team, McLeod-Genest wasn't the only Ravens product to rise above the roughly 250 wrestlers in attendance, as Brooke Wheeler's 3-0 record helped put her over the top to claim gold in the girls 64 kg division.

The team award in the girls bracket went to Port Moody Secondary, with Carson Graham claiming second and Centennial nailing down the three spot.

Pinetree finished third in the Grade 8/9 boys division behind Burnaby Central and Carson Graham, while Dr. Charles Best grappler Joseph Palmieri carted off the outstanding boys wrestler in that age grouping.
