  • Good Start!

    Posted on December 9th, 2011 by Coach McNellis No comments

    The Mustangs got the new Wrestling year started right as the Varsity is off to a 3-0 start and the JV is 2-1.  The varsity earned wins over Legend (58-15), Mountain Range (46-18), and ThunderRidge (60-18).  The boys have looked very impressive and that momentum will be needed for upcoming competition.

    The next dual is at home on Tuesday (12/13) against #1 ranked Pomona.  This will be an exciting match with several key battles that will decide the war.

    Then the stangs will travel to Gillette, WY. for a dual tournament against some of the best teams in Wyoming and Montana.  Stay tuned for results and…On Ponderosa!

  • Parker Sons of Thunder

    Posted on August 4th, 2011 by Coach McNellis No comments
    The Ponderosa Wrestling Junior feeder, the Parker Sons of Thunder, is just plain amazing.  Guided by Coach Jeff Estrada, the program is gaining national notoriety among Wrestling Connosiers.  Trackwrestling, the most used web source for scorekeeping in our sport has a point system that calculates success of a program.  Trackwrestling assigns points that Wrestlers can acquire through placing at national tournaments.  Recently, based off of objective data, Trackwrestling ranked PSOT the #1 ranked program in the NATION!!!
    Coach Estrada has done an amazing job of creating a national powerhouse in 3 years.  He has galvanized the parents of his Wrestlers.  These parents are easily the smartest and hardest working in the country.  He has put together the best assistants in the state in Luke Morris, Rocky “Balboa”, and Jesse Branham.
    Most importantly, the Wrestlers of PSOT are the best on and off the mat.  The culture of PSOT has created kids who have character, maturity, and a strong work ethic. 
    Ponderosa Wrestling has enjoyed unprecedented success in the state of Colorado.  Dont be surprised in a few years that we see that success at the national level!
