The South Lewis Falcons hosted their first dual of the season against the South Jefferson Spartans. This Coach was biting his nails throughout the contest. Key victories by Jake Olmstead, Tyler Spann, Matt Bush, Kyle Fitzgerald, and forfeits to Kyle Greene, Dylan Vosburgh, and Thomas Randall allowed the South Lewis Falcons to come within 3 points of tying South Jeff. The final score was 42-45. This score shows that the South Lewis Falcons have the potential to be a major contender this year, however I caution the wrestlers to take this in stride. Fortunately the chips fell in our favor, but we also didn't lose heart throughout the night. Let this be a lesson that hard work and dedication can pay off throughout the year. 

Let me put this loss in greater perspective:
