MARK THIBAULT CITY CHAMPIONSHIP

Sunday night at the Nashua H/S North 103 Nashua middle school wrestlers faced off for the title of Nahua City Champs 2011. I have never seen so many quality matches, cheering fans and spectators, and even the media covered it as well. This year was a rebuilding year for the EAGLES and through this you guys/girls have proven yourselves once again. You never gave up and even when it was over you volunteered to help clean up. Well most of you did.. In the end hats off to the Pennichuck Raiders who captured the Trophy for 2011. Dont tell them but I never shined or washed it up. We had 17 wrestlers trying to defend their 2010 crown as City Champs and it almost happened. The Eagles came home with 12 wrestlers finish in the top 4. Each one of you that wrestled should be proud of your efforts. It dosent matter if you come in 1st or 8th, each of you contribute somehow along the way. Now did everybody catch the 85 lb consolation finals match? Our own Ben Lugo (Elm St) going at it with Tyler Linscott (Fairgrounds), tied 2-2 after regulation, now on to overtime, oh no another overtime, wait a minute 1 more overtime, come on guys really another one, allright guys how about we flip a coin for the winner, they chose to wrestle a 5th. Ok 3 regulation periods and 5 overtimes to settle this bout. Nice job Ben.
