Heath Hawk State Wrestling Champs honored by Rockwall County Commissioners Court

(ROCKWALL/HEATH, TX – May 22, 2016) The 2016 UIL 5A State Champion Heath Hawks wrestlers were honored this morning at the Rockwall County Commissioners Court meeting.

Head Coach Shane Seleznoff spoke on behalf of the team and said the championship win was a “complete team effort.”

“We knew we definitely had a chance to win, but no one really expected this…We only won by four points, and every kid scored points,” Coach said.

Rockwall County Judge David Sweet read the following, signed by each of the Commissioners: “The Rockwall County Commissioners Court is proud to present this Certificate of Achievement in recognition of your outstanding athletic ability, a quality clearly shared by your teammates which contributed to the team’s outstanding season in which it earned a 20016 UIL 5A State Championship. Your achievement has conferred honor upon the county to be shared by each of us, and for that we commend you.”

The Heath wresting team won the 2016 5A state championship at the Berry Center in Cypress-Fairbanks in February, with six state placers. As Coach pointed out, there was not one individual champion, which in a lot of ways made the win even more special.
