Schedule 2006-2007 |
Frankfort/Bear Lake/Onekama High School Wrestling |
Coaches: Chuck Beale, Irv Pettit, Paul Morrill |
12/9 | Manton Invitational Away 9 am |
Well the Frankfort/Onekama wrestling team started competition on Dec 9th traveling to Manton. There were teams from Kingsley, Cadillac, Holton, Hart, Charlevoix, Elk Rapids, Coopersville and Manton. Competition was rough. Most of these teams already had 6 to 8 matches under their belt. |
12/13 | Benzie,
w/Kingsley Away 6 PM |
We then traveled to Benzie Central to meet up with Kingsley/Benzie. Kingsley was a strong team as expected. Against Benzie Central, Nathan Morrill posted a win. December News |
12/15 |
Rudyard Bridge Brawl Away 2:30 |
After that it was a long
road trip on December 15th to Rudyard and the Bridge
Brawl. Nathan Morrill posted a pin in .40 seconds. Due to too many
weight classes open, Frankfort’s only chance for a team win was
nullified by forfeits. They had 5 wrestlers go up against Rudyard
and all five won. The U. P. definitely has some very good wrestlers.
Next year the districts will be re-divided as the U. P. will come
down for tournaments. As it stands now, the U. P. has their own
state championship matches. Frankfort’s wrestlers have been doing
quite well according to Coach Pettit. We started off a little slow,
but with hard conditioning and drills, we expect to see some really
good results. Tommy Johnson, Sam Fitzhugh and Mike Cole are all
posting winning records so far. Eric Pettit injured his arm in the
U. P. He will return after the Christmas break. We are looking
forward to having Zack Fix return as our 285lb wrestler. He has been
hampered with a shoulder injury, and felt a couple of weeks off
would help. The wrestling team would like everyone to know that if
you’re interested in wrestling, you have up to the 15th
of January to join. .

The season is winding down. On
the 25th of this month the wrestlers had a home meet. Mancelona and
powerhouse Pine River were our opponents. Frankfort defeated
Mancelona, but fell short due to forfeits of weight classes to Pine
River. We wrestled very well against Pine River. They have a very
solid program. ...Paul Morrill reporting

Jan 27 | Reed City 16 Team Tourney | On the 27th, the team traveled to Reed City for a 16 team tourney. This was predominately 3rd division schools. Manton who is in our conference was there. All of our wrestlers won their first rounds. Nathan Morrill could not attend the last two meets due to illness. Zack Fix took 6th place in his division. The team finished 9th overall. A very good showing considering the size of the schools they were wrestling against. ...Paul Morrill reporting |
Jan 30 | Frankfort Invitational | The 30th saw Frankfort hosting a 3 team meet. Traverse City West "B" team and Charlevoix attended. Nathan Morrill posted a pin against his Traverse City West opponent. He fell short 11-8 against Charlevoix. Nathan being 9 pts down in the 3rd period staged a comeback and rolled his opponent twice for back points, but it wasn't enough. Frankfort did win both matches! This was the first time this year we had done so. Zack Fix didn't wrestle at this meet. I believe we now have 7 team wins for the year so far. ...Paul Morrill reporting |
