3) Big Kudos to the boys and girls of the Hillhawks wrestling team! The team had an amazing first wrestling meet pulling in 21 pins 1 technical fall and many hard fought matches. Dontrell Harris had a spectacular show with the fastest pin of the night by only 11 seconds. Katherin and Stephanie represented the lady Hillhawks very well by never giving up and showing great determination in all their matches. All Hillhawks showed amazing attitude, respect, and sportsmanship; showing everyone what it means to be respectful and responsible Hillhawks! Keep up the great work! Thank you very much all for all the help and support last night at the wrestling meet.
