The fourth annual Grappling Indians Wrestling Camp was recently held at the Dodge County Wrestling Gym.

Wrestlers ages five to 17 learned new wrestling skills, good sportsmanship, physical and mental toughness during a very hot week.

This year’s camp combined thirty-six new and more experienced wrestlers who learned to embrace the grappling Indians motto of “Get Tough, Wrestle!”

During four days of camp wrestlers honed their skills on the mat and played a variety of fun games to reinforce basic wrestling skills such as the Fox Tail, Shirts and Skins and Capture the Flag.

Wrestlers also learned how to climb the rope and a pegboard. They experienced the excitement of a “real live” wrestling match in front of cheering parents and family members. Finally and perhaps most important, each wrestler met new friends, pushed themselves beyond what they thought they were capable of and went home with no injuries.

Students attending this year’s camp were Shane Tripp, McCabe Turner, Devon Riley, Jason Lann, Will Fore, Abby Greer, Jonathan Stokes, Caden Jenkins, Jared Singletary, Justin Humble Jr., Heath Sanders, Austin Branch, Porter Faulk, Anthony Mannella, Vincent Mannella, Beck Morgan, Aiden Greer, Brycton Sanders, Clayton Scarborough, Crosse Bearden, Will Morgan, Jared Cannon, Christian Grauberger, Jacob Danforth, Trey Mosely, Ty Belflower, Shipp Dowdy, Tyler Gruben, Dylan Rowland, Matthew Burton, Rhett Honeycutt, Shane McCranie, Nick Taylor, Clay Taylor, coach Steve Greer and coach Justin Humble.
