May Calendar

The SCWAY spring schedule is quickly coming to an end with only three local tournaments remaining.  The next tournament will be hosted by Northgate HS in Walnut Creek THIS Saturday, May 11th.

As usual, we highly encourage ALL wrestlers to compete and continue to build on their off-season match count.  Tournaments are usually completed no later than 3pm.  If you would like to join us, come by the mat room on Tuesday and Thursday at 5pm for more details.

Also, as an early heads up, MSJHS will host the final tournament of the SCWAY spring schedule on June 8th.  Please mark your calendars and plan to be available to help run this tournament as smooth as possible.  More details will follow as the date approaches.

GO WARRIORS!!

April Calendar

Here's a quick look at our club schedule for the month of April. PLEASE NOTE: Spring Break at MSJ is from March 29th-April 5th, there will be NO practice! ENJOY some well-deserved time off!

Any time an event is added or cancelled, a revised calendar will be posted to keep all of you informed and up-to-date.

Also, we will need drivers Saturday morning heading up to Freedom HS in Oakley.  If you can help drive kids up or help bringing them back to Fremont, it would be a HUGE help.  Please let me know at msjwarriors@gmail.com if you are available.

GO WARRIORS!!

Tournament at Freedom HS

The first tournament of the Zone 3 schedule will take place THIS Saturday, March 30th at Freedom HS in Oakley, CA.  For those of you who haven't been able to make practice, please know that you are still HIGHLY encouraged to compete at the tournaments with us.

The quest for 40 matches is on!  Several kids have already gotten their off-season match count started, others will start theirs this Saturday.  Any returning wrestler who successfully competes in 40+ matches this off-season will receive a special gift to honor this achievement. Who wants to be a part of the 40-match club??!

SCWAY membership cards are required to compete; cards purchased through our club will receive a discounted price.  Please send an email to: msjwarriors@gmail.com if you still need your 2012-2013 card.

SCWAY Grade State Results

Congrats to freshman Eric Yang and sophomore Deion Sirwet who both came home with hard-earned medals from the SCWAY Grade State Championships this past weekend.

Along with Eric and Deion, ten other Warriors made the trip down to Lemoore High School and deserve hard-earned recognition for their efforts last weekend as well.  Competing in the freshman division: Ethan Farrington (182 lbs.) and George Guzman, Jr. (182); sophomore division: Dante Sirwet (132), Tovanni Renteria (145), Isaiah Leyva (160) and Richard Guzman (220); junior division: Swaraj Patankar (120), Enrique Green (145), Ronnie Silveria (152) and Zeki Yasar (152).

Very proud of all of you guys who committed to kicking off this off-season at such a tough event.  I don't think any of you can say you didn't benefit and learn something new after competing there.  The next SCWAY tournament will be in a couple weekends.  Stay tuned for more details!

SCWAY Grade State Championships

Our club team will be traveling down to Lemoore HS next Friday, March 8th to compete at the SCWAY Grade State Championships.

Any wrestlers interested will need to sign up for an annual SCWAY membership ($32$17) and pay the tournament registration fee ($47$45).  Hotel and transportation fees will be covered by the club.  If cost is an issue, please speak up.  We will try and do whatever possible to help alleviate costs in order to provide you an opportunity to compete at this event with the rest of us.

Registration is almost CLOSED.  If you are interested, please let me know ASAP by sending me an email at msjwarriors@gmail.com.  If you have any questions or need further information, please also send me an email.
