Dear CWC Parents,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Here a few reminders as the holiday draws nearer.
Winter break may be about to start, but we plan to continue holding practices on a reduced schedule over the holidays.
Finally, a large contingent of our middle school wrestlers got some great competition experience this past weekend wrestling at tournaments held at Charlottesville High School and Wilson Memorial High School. A huge thank you to the parents who made it possible for your children to compete this weekend. All reports were that your sons acquitted themselves and the CWC very well on both Saturday and Sunday. Please take a moment to read Coach Kammauff's recap below.
Happy Holidays!

Greetings CWC families,
We had a great weekend of wrestling for our Middle Schoolers.
On Saturday, CWC hosted the City/County Wrestling Championships.
- Max Timmins wrestled a couple of exhibitions and won both of them.
- Braden Blackorby blew right through his bracket with 2 pins.
- In the 80lb class we got to see another epic match between Brian Gittens and Andrew Wiles. Andrew won 3-1 for his first win against Brian.
- Joey Burch finished in 2nd place against in a 6 man bracket. Joey lost a 2-1 decision to Mike Morales of Cov.
- Jack McMullan finished in 3 rd with a big pin vs. Morales
- Aiden Valentine had 2 come from behind wins.
- Keegan and Kyler Cress wrestled in their first middle school matches battled more experience wrestlers very tough.
- David Wiles ran into some really tough wrestlers to start the tourney but bounce back to win his last match.
- Jago Gould has become a man of the summer and has bumped his wrestling up a level. He only lost one match to a varsity wrestler from Covenant.
- TJ Brooks continues to improve by beating a couple of his McIntire LL buddies in Xander Smith and James Tanner. For Xander and James, this was their first competition and they showed how far they have come. Both of these kids are very coachable and are soaking in what we are teaching.
- John Yates showed how tough he is going to be by wrestling and beating some older kids.
- Andrew Edwards and Graham Chandler showed much improvement and their day is coming.
- Ben Yates ran through his competition to win the tourney. He is also becoming a good leader on the team and looking to help whenever he can.
On Sunday, we had 9 MS wrestlers compete and I believe most medaled according to Coach Wiles. Some of the highlights included:
- Jago Gould winning the tournament.
- Brian Gittens recovered from Sat and beat Andrew Wiles in another battle. It is good to see these two battle each other even though they are teammates as they are make each other better (steel sharpens steel).
- David Wiles also recovered from tough day on Saturday to finish in 2nd place.
- Joey Burch also medaled.
Please forgive me if I left anybody out. I also need to thank all the parents and adults that stepped up and made this weekend successful.
Best regards,
John
