CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST
Rebecca Wright practices with her teammates before a wrestling match at Lake-Lehman Senior
High School.
WRESTLER
Continued from Page 9
She lost each of her first three
matches on the mat, but ap-
proached a breakthrough when
she took a lead after a period
against Wyoming Area and was
still in a close bout before being
pinned in the final 20 seconds.
Williams pointed out that
women’s wrestling is part of the
Olympics and is offered at some
colleges in addition to high
schools in other parts of the
country. Wright, however, has
not yet seen any wrestling
matches other than those where
she is the lone girl competing
with the boys.
As the Black Knights pre-
pared to pursue the District 2
Class AA Dual Meet Tourna-
ment title this weekend, Wright
was busy getting herself ready to
help that pursuit as much as pos-
sible.
DANCERS
Continued from Page 3
While much attention has
been thrust on these competi-
tions by shows like “Dance
Moms,” the competition isn’t
anywhere near as intense for
this group.
Sara Pizzo has been compet-
ing for the last 10 years. “I love
the atmosphere,” she said. “It’s
exciting; you get an adrenaline
rush and it pushes me to do bet-
ter.”
Carly Kappler said, “I wasn’t
nervous because it was my fa-
vorite routine - a solo tap routine
- and it was the first time I won
grand champion.”
Enthusiastically, Jamie Bon-
sall says, “The best part is to be
together with my school for
competition. We all get along
and work together.”
Eyes bright, shining with de-
votion, Nick Oberst says of the
competition, “I love it, all of it.
I'll never get tired of it,” espe-
cially now that he has $450 of
prize money in his pocket that
he hopes to use as a down pay-
ment on a car or truck.
