| Nationals at Fargo to include a balanced Louisiana attack |
| July 03, 2014 | Written by: Editor |

Louisiana is sending a very politically correct sampling of
wrestlers to the USAW Cadet and Junior Freestyle and Greco-Roman
national championships to be held in Fargo, North Dakota from July 19th
to July 26th. The hail from Division I, Division II and Division
III. There are freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors.
And there are boys and girls (well just one girl). Team members must complete a clinic at the Southeast Regional Olympic Training Center at Rummel High School in order to qualify for the trip. Brittany Bates of Doyline, who arguably has the most experience on the national levels than any of the young men, will complete a clinic and travel with Team Texas as soon as permission is received from Louisiana USAW officials. |
