The Glenvar wrestlers hosted a match against Hidden Valley last Thursday and came out victorious by a score of 42-18.
Glenvar had solid solid performances from River Smith (120), Jake Cline (132), Ethan Flowers (138), and Trey Lawrence (145).
“It was nice to pick-up a win in our home opener,” said coach Jason Cline. “With both matches last week it gave us a chance to see the things we need to improve on as we finish out the last week and a half of this compressed regular season and are hopeful to have a postseason.”
The Highlanders stay busy this week. They had a home match with Glenvar on Tuesday followed by a tri-match with Cave Spring and Northside, at Cave Spring, on Wednesday.
The Highlanders hope to be able to compete in the region and state tournaments. The Roanoke County School Board meets today and will decide if the county schools can compete against out of county schools in post-season events.
“Postseason participation is not yet approved by the School Board, but we are hopeful to get positive news this week on allowing postseason participation,” said Cline.
James River High has offered to host the regional but that’s still up in the air. The state will be held at the Salem Civic Center on Friday, February 19, a day after Class 3 and a day before Class 1. They will be eight-man brackets this year.
