ONECO, CT FESTIVAL - 2005

  
BEARS WANDER UP TO ONECO FOR OUT OF STATE COMPETITION (CONT.)
For the second time in the last five years, several Kenilworth wrestlers made the trek up to Oneco, CT for the Annual Team Cobra wrestling festival. The festival is an outdoor wrestling tournament that is held at the Riverbend Campground. Some matches are contested under a permanent pavilion while others are held under make-shift tents with tarps tied to the basketball hoops. (At least we finally found a use for basketball hoops-see picture). The purpose of the trip is never just about wrestling but rather about TEAM and Family. The weekend away allows time for the wrestlers and coaches to build comradery outside of the grueling winter season. A total of 15 wrestlers and seven coaches were included on the final manifesto with six wrestlers claiming the top prize. A list of all competitors and champs are listed below as well as some pictures from the weekend.
