"I'm pleased

with the way we wrestled," said Coach Nick Bellantoni. "I liked

our fight and aggressiveness." Bellantoni will take his team to The

Program Challenge at Union Grove this weekend, a tournament that combines

the scores from the middle school and high school wrestling programs to

determine who has the best program. Wrestling begins with four rounds

of dual meets on Friday night to determine seeding for Saturday. McIntosh

will be competing against such schools as Landmark Christian, Grayson,

Pace Academy, Marist, Wesleyan, Walker and others.
