2009 Wilson Tourney Summary by Head Coach Brad Brosius As sent to Don Lehman Here are the results of the Wilson Tournament. The coaching staff felt the kids wrestled well. Jacob Gemmill finished second, losing a heartbreaker in the finals! Jacob was ahead 4-0 in the second period when he made a mistake and got caught in a headlock and was pinned. I don't have all of the pin times or the final team score (posted 26th) but I believe we finished in 26th place. Wilson posted the final results on their website. ▪ 95lbs. - Jacob Oliver (2-2) Jacob won his first match by forfeit when his opponent did not make weight.
