Local talent shows its stuff
Hermitage coach Dalton Head is the first to point out that the 2008 field for the Richmond Invitational Tournament was very different from a year ago. Last year the tournament featured teams from Wisconsin, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. But as out-of-state schools elected to stay closer to home this year, more local talent shone. St. Christopher’s finished second to Kempsville and host Hermitage was fourth behind Franklin County.

Looking for win at home tourney
Marc Heathcock spent all summer wrestling with a junior national team in China, training for his senior season at Hermitage. And after three months in China, he’s wrestling in his high school gym for what may be the most meaningful tournament of his life. “The Richmond Invitational, I’ve always thought was better than any other tournament, cause it is my [home] tournament,“ Heathcock said. “Even as a freshman, that’s what you want to win, no matter what. You can lose everything else in your life, but you have to win this tournament.“
