VIRGINIA’S EASTERN SHORE — High-school girl wins district wrestling title

EASTVILLE, Va. – Northampton High School sophomore Nicole Beasly wrote a new page in Virginia’s Eastern Shore District history book. Wednesday night she became the first female wrestler to win a district individual weight class championship.

Wrestling in the 103-pound weight class, Beasly pinned Nandua’s Adam Belote in 3:48 in the championship match.

“It’s pretty cool, exciting,” said Beasly. “I was a little bit nervous, but confident.”

Beasly had defeated Belote earlier in the season while earning a 12-6 overall record. But she was taking nothing for granted in the title match. “It’s been a few weeks since I wrestled him and I didn’t want to underestimate my opponent. He was better this time.”

Beasly earned a takedown and three near fall points in the first period. “I almost pinned him in the first period,” she said.

In the second period she recorded a reversal, then quickly put Belote on his back for the fall.

After being declared the winner, she shook Belote’s hand, then rushed to the corner where here wrestling coaches were waiting with a big hug.

“She earned it,” said Northampton head wrestling coach Brian Harman. “We treated her just like we do the boys. There’s no difference.”

Beasly was one of eight Northampton wrestlers to win district weight class championships as the Yellow Jackets earned the team championship for the wrestling year.

Huh?

Where’d you get the virgin part?

Virginian

[An_Arky]

Yeah, but on the Eastern Shore, a girl who’s still a virgin in her sophomore year’s considered an old maid.

[Homebrew]

And if she’s in Arkansas, it means she can outrun her brothers.

All the guys are just plain scared to sleep with her.

It’s a little weird to me that the 103-pound weight class isn’t all girls. Even as a scrawny and undersized sophomore, I bet I weighed more than 103 pounds.

That sucks - I wrestled in the 103 weight class my freshman year in high school. Every once in a while you’d wrestle against a girl, and usually they weren’t that good, but if you lost you were ridiculed. I remember one kid that lost to a girl didn’t even go to school the next day. It’s a lose-lose situation - if it’s a girl, you’re almost expected to go easy on her, not to hurt her, but if she manages to get the best of you, prepare for humiliation. And of course if you get an erection you’re really in trouble, though that’s not easy to do when you’re that worried.
I’m just glad none of the girls I wrestled were that good - this girl probably would’ve kicked my ass.

My sophmore year I would have weighed that much. Heck, my Junior year too if I tried hard enough.

An Alaskan girl wrestler just won the state title.

Those wrestling outfits don’t hide anything, do they?

Way cool…

I wrestled in high school and I would have had a hard time with a female opponent. Of course I was a 189-200 pound monster back then so I doubt I would have had to worry about female opponents. I wonder if we’ll start to see females competing in some of the mid-ranged weight classes between 140-168 and whether or not that would make it prohibitively difficult for them to compete with males.

Good for the girls who are going out for sports like wreslting. If they can compete with the boys then more power to 'em.
