Wrestlers Go to Sectionals

After a long season of wrestling, four Homer wrestlers were able to wrap up their seasons at sectionals. Noah Thomas, Reno Gaffney, Matthew McCumber, and Anthony Parker all competed on Saturday, February 11 at Onondaga Community College. Each wrestler had a great day of competition although none made it to the finals. Thomas, Parker, and McCumber lost in their first matches as Gaffney was able to win enough matches to take an overall position of 6th in his weight class. Although only Gaffney was left competing at the end of the day, his fellow wrestlers and other Homer wrestling fans remained to route him on. As a captain of the wrestling team, Noah Thomas wrapped up his successful season by stating that, “The Homer wrestling team showed class, character, and dedication throughout the season while continuing to represent blue pride.” Despite the results, Homer presented itself as a worthy opponent among the numerous other schools competing for a title that day.
