Slap! That's the sound every wrestler hopes to hear, signaling the pin that gives them victory. The co-oped Platteville-Belmont Wrestling team's season has started with a bang. Their first tournament at the Black Hawk Invite earning 4 placing wins. With more kids on the team this season than in past years, they have a great chance of doing well as a team and as individuals. The current team consists of 11 students from Platteville and 7 students from Belmont.
Wrestling is a combat sport between two competitors trying to establish superior position, score more points, and ultimately pin their opponent.

As Coach Crase puts it, "Wrestling is a great sport to teach you the value of individual preparation and dedication because while it's a team sport, it comes down to individual victories. There's no excuses. [You] can't blame officials; it's just you and the other guy deciding who's better.”
The team always appreciates fan support from the students to cheer them on to victory. With home meets on the 9th, 13th and 30th of January, make sure to stop by the old gym in Belmont High School to support the team.
