Ovathletics once again returned to one of its favorite stomping grounds this weekend, Cameron, WV. This time it was for some wrestling. The annual Cameron High School Invitational took place and hosted nearly 20 teams for the Tri-state area.
The defending single A wrestling champs from West Virginia, The Cameron Dragons know how to put on a first-class event. First, you must consider the stunning facilities Cameron has. Everything looks in tip top shape and super clean. Hats off to the staff at the high school making sure their facilities stood tall.
After that you need to understand how organized everything was on the day. Things moved fast and fluid with little down time in between events and everyone was informed and knew where to go. This happened to be very important, because Cameron not only has a main gym, but they have a secondary gym as well with six mats set up on the day. Both locations were standing room only on this day as the fans turned out for this classic.
The wrestlers themselves didn’t disappoint. These young people came out and showed that they were in shape and ready to go. A brief side note. Their actions off the matt were just as impressive. I noticed countless times where wrestlers held the door for people, move out of the way for older fans to get up steps, and displayed some of the best manners answering yes sir and no sir often. I give a lot of credit to the wrestlers and their parents for that.
Back to the wrestling itself now. Local powerhouses such as Oak Glen, Wheeling Central, Linsly, St Clairsville, Morgantown, John Marshall, and many more show up for this invitational.
Fairmont Senior took the overall win with a total of 240.50 points, followed by John Marshall with 177.00, Oak Glenn with 163.00, and Linsly with 101.00. We will list individual winners below.
This was a fantastic day for wrestling. Keep reading below, as we even have a somewhat unrelated extra little something for you, The Cameron Dragon’s Battle for the Belt. This is an unrelated youth tournament that was held the very next day. We will post winners from that as well.
