Criner's Chronicles

Parents/Supporters,


I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on how things are going with our program. First and foremost, I want to give a huge thank you too all the people who helped out at Lone Star Duals. This is one of the best groups of parents i've worked with at Lone Star Duals. This is one of the largest tournaments in the country, and it is run entirely of volunteers and supporters. You all did a fantastic job, I look forward to doing it again next year (though I am glad its an entire year away). The SGP boys wrestling team did very well....we advanced to the Saturday portion of the tournament...and placed 8th as a team. This is the first time in school history that we have ever done this. The SGP Girls wrestling team placed 5th at the tournament, which is also the first time in school history.

This weekend we have a tournament at Dallas Jesuit High School....I’ll be sending out the flyer today. It is for varsity boys and jv boys only.

There was some confusion last night on our jv dual with sam houston. I thought I was told it was on tuesday evening, but in fact it is this thursday evening. I spoke with the Sam Houston coach at Lone Star Duals about this, and I thought I heard him confirm it was on tuesday....however I guess I heard wrong. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will still have the tri on thursday with Sam Houston and Skyline...the bus will leave at 4:30.

Cancelled Dual

Our matches this Tuesday are cancelled due to Semester Exams and UIL School rules. Look forward to seeing you all at Lone Star Duals.
