Caissons Wrestling Reaches 9-0!
Last night it was senior night for the Caissons. We started the night by honoring all the seniors on the wrestling team, and entered the evening ready to first take on Randolph-Macon Academy (RMA), and then the Miller School in what was the official (Virginia Independent School) VIS match-up for the championship that is now just two weeks away. Before the action was to take place on the mat, we made a correction for the scoring of a match that took place last week.

At Fishburne Military School we work each day motivated by the knowledge that a team of professionals is securing the future lives of our cadets one class, practice, and drill at a time. Our method of transferring knowledge is military-oriented, not because we are training soldiers but because a structured, caring environment is critical for success at Fishburne and in life. We believe that young men need to learn the intangible skills that also accompany our methods here at FMS (leadership, organization, punctuality, sharing, and accountability) in order to become successful college students or professionals in whatever industry they choose. Our method of educating young men works as evidenced by our 131 years of tradition and success. Currently, 100% of our seniors are accepted into a college or university of their choice.

After a short night sleep it was back to the mat. First, however, we had to beat the scale again. Unfortunately, one of our remaining seven wrestlers missed his weigh-in by a .2 pound margin and had to forfeit out of the tournament. Three of the remaining six wrestlers succeeded in moving into the medal round. The Caissons did an outstanding job finishing in 12th place out of 19 teams. While this might not sound impressive below are the numbers.

I returned to Fishburne and started to show my leadership skills and the amount of integrity I had.
