By: Dallas Moyes The state wrestling tournament was held on February 14 and the 15 and, as always, many wrestlers from Bear River High School made their competitive presence known. Each year, the wrestling team shows up to the tournament meaning business.The school’s reputation for wrestling is like none other. Other schools and coaches know what Bear River Wrestling is capable of. People expect greatness from Bear River every year and the team always delivers. This year the team took third overall out of every 4A school in Utah. With no surprise, Bear River had three state champions this year: Maverik Skinner, Jeshua Koch, and Trenton Ward.
Trenton Ward explained what it takes to become a state champ: “For me to become a state champ it took so much practice and a lot of extra work put in over summertime, at home, and even after practices.” Ward took the title this year at the state wrestling tournament. It has been Ward’s goal to become a state champion since he started wrestling. Though it would be easy to, Ward doesn’t give all the credit to himself. He gives credit to Coach Jason Bingham for pushing him to be the wrestler he is today. Ward said that becoming a state champion was no easy task and the hardest part of the grind was keeping track of and cutting his weight. Most wrestlers agree that this is the most difficult part of wrestling. Wrestlers go on a crazy diet and arguably the worst part of the diet is the low amount of water wrestlers are permitted to consume. Being a wrestler is not an easy way to live. Although it seems like being a state champion wrestler is too difficult, Ward explains that everything came together perfectly in order for him to win his final match.
