Midway through the season and the Rivals have started things back up again by attending the Savage Invitational in Lamar this past weekend.  The team still having trouble getting everyone healthy and back on the mat also the weight shifting is taking a little longer for some. They will have to have all this managed and put in place by the Regional Tournament that is approximately one month away.  Even with this the Rivals still managed to pull off a 4^th place team finish at a very tough tournament.
