2007, 2006 and 2005 SCISA STATE CHAMPIONS!

The Skyhawks won their third straight SCISA State Championship on Saturday at Hammond's Upper School Gym.  Hammond defeated in-town rival Cardinal Newman 60-24 in the championship round.  Guy Castles (103), Daniel Baker (125), Bradford MacGillivray (130), Hudson White (135), Tripp Ulmer (145), Ross Power (152), Austin Hood (160), Sam Simmons (189), Will Patterson (215) and Ben Simmons (HWT) won their bouts against the Cards.  Junior Hudson White recorded his 100th career victory on Saturday afternoon.  White joins an elite club that only has three members: Tucker Laffitte ('03), Josh Patterson ('03) and Eddie Fishman ('06).  All members of the varsity team received medals and the team championship trophy.  Congrats to Coach Talbot, Coach Diggans, Coach Kyle Kimrey and the young men for another terrific year!  Further congrats to the following wrestlers for being selected to The State's SCISA All-Area Team: Guy Castles (103), Daniel Baker (125), Bradford MacGillivray (130), Hudson White (135), Tripp Ulmer (145), Ross Power (152), Austin Hood (160), Sam Simmons (189), Will Patterson (215) and Ben Simmons (HWT).  Kudos to Hudson White for being selected as Wrestler of the Year and to Coach Talbot for being selected as The State's Coach of the Year!

The Skyhawks dominated the SCISA Individual Tournament on Saturday, February 10, at Cardinal Newman by winning individual state championships in nine of the fourteen weight classes.  Guy Castles (103), Daniel Baker (125), Hudson White (135), Tripp Ulmer (145), Ross Power (152), Austin Hood (160), Sam Simmons (189), Will Patterson (215), and Ben Simmons (HWT) all won individual state championships on Saturday.  For many of the above-mentioned student-athletes, this championship was one of their multiple championships in their respective weight classes.
