Go Green's Notes from Post
Black Knight Nation:
As Thin Lizzy would say, the boys are back in town. West Point is in the midst of welcoming back The Corps from winter break and it is good to see the campus alive with activity. After a cold stretch we are experiencing some unseasonably warm temperatures. Even though our break was shortened for some because of the trip to Soldier Salute, it is always good for our guys to get some time away to reconnect with their families and get recharged.
Eighteen members of America’s Team snuck away from re- orgy activities and hit the mats on Friday at the David Lehman Open at Franklin and Marshall. This large event had nearly 500 competitors and offered a wide variety of DI battles.
We had strong performances all around but especially from our young guys.
At 133 Ryan Franco placed 5th going 5-1 and showing a diverse set of offensive skills.
At 141 Shane Percelay lost his first bout 2-0 to a Top 20 opponent, and then rattled off 5 straight wins on the back side.
A 149 Trae McDaniel placed 3rd , finishing the event strong with a punishing win in the last bout.
All three are plebes and figure mightily in this team’s future.
