Bassett High School students Michael Clark III and Johnathan Jiménez signed to continue their wrestling careers at Patrick and Henry Community College in the fall.
Clark didn’t start wrestling until his senior year at BHS but is excited to continue at the college level this fall.
“I’m happy to be able do it for at least two more years,” said Clark. “I originally thought I was just going to go to college for welding and then (coach Dylan) Johnson told me they have a wrestling program and I thought I might as well do that while I’m here.”
Clark hopes to do great things in his wrestling future, but his main goal is to have fun. He described his level of excitement on a scale of 1-10 as an 11.
Jimenez said being signed feels great.
“I get to roll around with the boys I’ve known for a while now,” he said. “I get to do something I’ve enjoyed for a long time. I appreciate my coach.”
Jiménez hopes to go up in weight class and be a national qualifier in wrestling like his brother Jesus Jiménez.
