2004/2005 Jr. High MVP's: Jared Psensky and Conrad Branchen.
The Conference Matches are finished and the Avonworth wrestlers finished a solid 4 - 2 in our conference.
This was an out standing season for this Jr. High team finishing a Solid 9 - 5 on the season this improves on last seasons 5 - 5 finish. We had 7 wrestlers with 11 or more wins and out of that 6 had 15 or more wins and 3 of those had 20 or more wins. The real thing great thing about this is it was done with only 11 wrestlers filling the 18 weight classes at the Jr. High level. That means if you are wrestling a full team we could be starting the match down by as much as 42 points.

Win West allegheny and Avonworth since they weren't in the same conference We decided not to send out forfeits and let the one's that have a match wrestle head to head against each team. I believe when this happen Avonworth wrestlers are some of the best around and will Win most matches. The score ended 37 - 18 in favor of the Avonworth Lopes. West Allegheny would have recieved 5 forfeits and give them an extra 30 points.

Win This was a solid win for the Avonworth Jr. High. Moon and Avonworth match up well with matches for just about everyone. Forfeits were not sent out but I am awarding a forfeit win for those wrestlers because they made weight. The Final without Forfeits was 40 - 6 in favor of the Avonworth team.

Loss Well this won is just a tough loss because of Us giving up just to many Forfeits. North Hills had a full line up of 18 kids this meaning we gave up 8 forfeits and a total of 48 points to even start the matches. The final was 75 - 27 but taking away all 8 forfeits leaves a tie at 27 - 27 I know I was proud of them.

Win In this Match up Fort Cherry also has a limited number of wrestler so we did not send out for Forfeits but I did count it as wins for the wrestler since they worked so hard to make weight. So there were 7 match that I added up for team score. and Avonworth won with a 23 - 6 score. There were also Exhibitions Match for wrestler to get to wrestle 2 times.
