     RECOGNIZING HUNTER YEARGAN'S MISSOURI CLASS 3 STATE WRESTLING 
                              CHAMPIONSHIP

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 2015

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Hunter Yeargan of 
Willard, Missouri, for claiming the Missouri Class 3 high school 
wrestling title.
  Hunter entered the title match with a height and reach disadvantage 
against his opponent in the state championship match. His opponent kept 
a solid hold on him until the second period. He only needed one shot to 
come back, and that one shot is exactly what he got. With only five 
seconds left, Hunter overcame the odds to pin his opponent and win the 
championship match.
  Hunter had an amazing season with a record of 41-1. This is his 
second state placing after taking third in his class last year.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Hunter Yeargan for a 
strong finish to his season, and for bringing the state title home to 
Willard High School.
