The City of Liberty honored the Liberty High School wrestling team during the Liberty City Council meeting on Monday, March 11, 2024. Liberty Mayor Erica Romo Woods presented the team with a proclamation in honor of their state championship title in late February.

The proclamation reads:

“Whereas, Liberty High School’s wrestling team has once again demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication in the arena of athletic competition, and

Whereas, the team’s remarkable performance in the State Tournament for the second consecutive year has brought great pride and honor to the school and the community, and

Whereas, the wrestlers of Liberty High School have displayed extraordinary skills and determination, earning a total of nine medals in the State Tournament, including four gold medals secured by Alex Allison, Jonah Pierce, Bray Cain, and J.T. Spence, and

Whereas, the team has further distinguished itself with four silver medals earned by Grady McManis, Brian Reed, Dalton Shelton, and Ian Vallecillo, as well as one bronze medal achieved by Isaac Reece, and

Whereas, the accomplishments of these talented athletes have not only elevated the status of Liberty High School in the realm of wrestling but have also set new standards of excellence within the school’s athletic program,

Now, therefore, be it proclaimed that, on this day, we commend and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the Liberty High School wrestling team for their exceptional performance in the State Tournament, and for their record-breaking accomplishments of eight State Finalists and four State Champions in a single season.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to each member of the team, their coaches, families, and supporters for their dedication, hard work, and sportsmanship, which have contributed to this remarkable success.

May their achievements serve as an inspiration to all members of the Liberty High School community and stand as a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance, and excellence.
