You may have thought seven Falcons in the Semi-Finals would have been a record by Fauquier but a further review in 2015 team Fauquier put eight in the Semi-Finals during a run to the state title then. But not here to review any past Fauquier records as the gas pedal is push down moving into day 2 of the 2018 Virginia 4A State Wrestling Championships.
By winning a State Semi-Finals match wrestlers earned 11 team points plus possible bonus points. As three teams hover on top of the leader board (Fauquier, Eastern View, and Liberty) at the start of this Championships Semi-Final round. But at the end of this round Fauquier and Eastern View earned enough wins to separate themselves from the field and controlled their own destiny for a state crown.
As Fauquier battled through their Semi-Final matches the Falcons ended up going 5-2 and extended the point total to 150pts. Eastern View almost ran the table and went 4-1 as the rest in second place with 147pts. Liberty who also had five in the Semi-Finals went 3 - 2 and rest in 3rd place with 105pts in match play.

Teddy P's Notes:
1. 4A Region C which is Fauquier regions will have 11 representatives of the 24 Virginia State finalists.
2. The Northwestern District which is Fauquier District will have 10 representatives of the 24 Virginia State finalists.
3. Fauquier County will have 9 representatives of the 24 Virginia State finalists. Unsure of a record here but one would think that Fauquier County has never put 9 wrestlers into a Virginia State Finals.
