Grizzlies Take The Mat At 12U/15U Massachusetts State Wrestling Tournament
Today, the Grit and Gratitude Wrestling Academy had 6 wrestlers travel to Gloucester High School to compete in the 12U/15U Massachusetts State Wrestling Tournament.
Representing our 12U division:
- Ayden Garcia – 63 lbs
- Kaysen Beaulieu – 67 lbs
- Marco Buonconti – 86 lbs
- Noah Hoover – 86 lbs
- Sam Depalo – 98 lbs
Our lone 15U warrior:
- Micah Naylor Jr – 92 lbs
Every one of these young warriors came ready for battle, leaving it all on the mat. This is just the beginning of their journey — and they are ALL champions in my eyes.
Massachusetts State Results:
- 🥇 Ayden Garcia – Massachusetts State Champion
- 🥈 Kaysen Beaulieu (67 lbs) – Massachusetts State Runner-Up
- 🥉 Micah Naylor Jr (92 lbs) – 3rd Place
- 4th – Noah Hoover (86 lbs)
- 5th – Marco Buonconti (86 lbs)
- DNP – Sam Depalo (98 lbs)
Back to the grind tomorrow as these young warriors and their 6U, 8U, and 10U teammates prepare for Youth New Englands in mid-March.
I am truly blessed to be part of the Grit and Gratitude Family. These kids are amazing. Their parents are incredibly supportive. Our coaching staff understands the mission. This is a lot of work — and it takes an army to make it happen.
Grit. Gratitude. Grind.
