The 2010 Spartan Middle School Wrestling Team. Click to see a larger version.

The Sparta middle school wrestling team wrapped up their 2010 season on December 18th at Viroqua. It was a solid season for the Spartans and it looks to be a bright future for the high school program. Overall as a team, the Spartans won 310 matches and lost 213. One wrestler (Brock Polhamus) topped the 20-win mark with a 20-3 record while seven more wrestlers cracked the 15-win mark. Another five wrestlers finished with just one or two losses.

Below are the records at Viroqua followed by each wrestler’s season record. For example, “Connor Bernett, 1-2, 4-10″ meant that Connor Bernett went 1-2 at Viroqua and finished 4-10 on the year. Simple enough? Ok, let’s get to it…

Connor Bernett, 1-2, 4-10
Matthew Fahning, 2-1, 7-5

Walker Polhamus, 0-3, 17-8
Christian Reiter, 1-2, 4-8
John Roddick, 3-0, 19-2
Corey Zimmerman, 3-0, 17-2

Some of these wrestlers will now continue their wrestling through area rec programs such as Sparta Rec or Lacrosse Area Wrestlers (LAW). There might be a chance to catch some of these guys at the Sparta Youth Tournament on Sunday, January 23rd at Sparta High School. That is the day after the Spartan Invite. If you want to check out a lot of action of all levels of Spartan wrestling, that would be a good weekend to find yourself up at the high school.

Congrats to the middle school on a great season and a big thanks to Mike Roddick for supplying this information!

by Derek on December 8, 2010

The Spartan middle school team was back on the mat this past week wrestling at Neillsville and then again in Sparta.

While at the Neillsville Tourney, the Spartans wrestled a number of dual meets and came up pretty successful. Sparta’s only loss was to Wisconsin Rapids. Here are the scores from those duals…

Sparta 58 – Neillsville 9
Sparta 58 – Westby 9
Wisconsin Rapids 42 – Sparta 14
Sparta 36 – Tomah 28

Check out the individual records below. Each wrestler’s record from each match will be listed right next to his name. For example, the following means Connor Bernett went 0-0 at Neillsville and 1-1 in Sparta: ”Connor Bernett, 0-0, 1-1.” Easy enough right? OK, onto the records…

Middle School Updates from Westby, Onalaska & Sparta

by Derek on December 1, 2010

The Spartan middle school team took little time off for Thanksgiving wrestling three days before the holiday and four days after as their season moves to its midway point. On Nov. 22nd, the Spartans wrestled at Westby and on the 29th they wrestled in Onalaska. Results from both dates are below.

If you plan on coming to the dual against Holmen on Thursday, December 9th, try to get there a little earlier if you can. The middle school team will be wrestling at 5pm before the JV takes the mat. This is a great chance to see the future of Sparta wrestling while at the same time taking in one of the biggest MVC duals of the year.

Now onto those results…

Records for each date will be posted side-by-side with the first record being how the wrestler did at Sparta,the second one being how they did at Westby and the final one how they did at Onalaska. For example, something like this “Nate Cox, 0-2, 2-0, 0-2″ means Cox went 0-2 at Sparta, 2-0 at Westby and 0-2 at Onalaska. Onto those results for real now…

6th Grade
Connor Bernett, 1-0, 0-1, 1-0
Matthew Fahning, 1-0, 0-0, 1-0

Thanks to Mike Roddick for supplying this information. If you are interested in finding out how the Spartans did at Winona and Prairie Du Chien from earlier in the year, check out this post.

One more note about the upcoming dual against Holmen, we do plan on having a live blog going for the dual. Not sure yet if Mike Montgomery will be your move-by-move guy yet, but we will at least have someone on there providing score updates at the end of each period and match. Stay tuned for more information on that.
