The Little Texan Wrestling Club recently competed in The Battle @ 377 Tournament in Argyle. The youth club team took seven wrestlers, and four finished in the top four of their respective weight brackets, with two taking first.

Javin Vegas, 12, was the 110-pound champion and Sam Ruelas, 13, was first at 142 pounds. Gavin Lane, 10, finished 3rd at 80 pounds and Jack Bookout, 9, finished second at 70 pounds.

"Everybody that competed wrestled really hard," said Nick McClellan, head coach. "And I am proud of all of them. We still have some things to work on, but we are improving."

The team is still accepting new wrestlers, boys and girls age 4-15. Those interested can contact McClellan at 214-636-0377.

Johnson scored again on a power play, with an assist from Dylan DeRozario.

Keller came back to tie the game and take it into overtime when Schultz again scored for Keller. The assist was credited to Barron Morris.

Blake Ong settled things in Keller's favor in the overtime period when he scored at the 3:34 mark.

Keller now faces Frisco, while Denton County squares off against Dallas Jesuit on Thursday.
