Harding and West Charlotte Duals
The Olympic Trojans started their season with 2 dominate wins over conference rival Harding 72-9 and West Charlotte 66-18. Landon Bean, Samson Sturm, Amon Ellis, Braeden DeLaO, DQ Merchant, Colby Schefers, Ethan Gordon, Amir Haynes, Joshua Sanchez, Brandon Tang, and Paulique Noble all started the season 2-0 with victories in both matches. Also picking a pin for the Trojans was Justus Copeland. Freshman Carlos Bautista got is first action in a Trojan uniform and the future looks bright as he fought tough in his losses. Senior Bryce Times took 2 hard fought losses as well after returning for just a day of practice after football season. Times will be tough to beat once he gets his legs under him in this season. The Trojans will battle again Saturday at the first individual tournament of the season, The Rumble at the Ridge, at Marvin Ridge High School.
