Season Highlights So Far:

• Congratulations to team captains Brandon Shull (138 lbs) and Sophia Simonelli (113 lbs) for placing at the Marshfield Tournament this week. Brandon picked up 5 wins and placed 5th out of 31 competitors. Sophia placed 12th of 23 competitors.

• Barnstable started the season with an impressive showing at the Sharon Lombardo tournament in Rhode Island on December 10th. The team had three wins, and one loss.

Today, the Red Hawks traveled to Sandwich High School for the Cape Cod League Championship. 

Barnstable faced a very small Nauset team first, and won 24-0. Nate Ryan, Sam Mulkeen-Perry, and Adam Forrest all contributed wins by pin against their opponents. Cole Shechtman was awarded a forfeit. 

Sandwich and Barnstable entered the third round of the championship with a win against Nauset, and tied each other 36-36. Five Red Hawks earned pins: Alex Fontaine, Sophia Simonelli, Brandon Shull, Cole Shechtman, and Josh Stanley. Nate Ryan was given a forfeit. 

Although Barnstable and Sandwich tied each other, per the rules, Sandwich was crowned the league champion since Barnstable had more holes in the line-up which caused forfeits in Sandwich's favor.

Most likely, the Red Hawks will not have another regular season meet. The next event will be the Division 1 South Sectionals next Saturday at Xaverian on February 12th.

 The Red Hawks fell to the New Bedford Whalers 34-18 on Wednesday.

Nate Ryan (113 lbs.), Brandon Shull (132 lbs.), and Josh Stanley (152 lbs.) all pinned their opponents. Due to the impending winter storm, the home quad has been cancelled. The next event for the Red Hawks will be the Cape Cod League Championship on February 4th.
