Tribal youth Matt Hofenbredl
continues pinning away
By Peter Nelson
Summer Youth Employment reporter
Tribal member Matthew Hofenbredl, 14, wrestled
kids from all over the West Coast at the 2011 West
Regional Wrestling Tournament held in Pocatello,
Idaho.
The tournament began Sunday, June 19, and
Hofenbredl wrestled about 25 matches within the
next five days, placing first in folk style, sixth in
Greco-Roman and sixth in freestyle.
"I started wrestling when I was like 4 or 5," Hofen
bredl says," I just kind of signed up and got into it."
He was an eighth-grader at LaCreole Middle School
last year and will be attending Dallas High School
this fall.
He has a pretty full schedule, from frequently
practicing at the high school during the season to going out of state for
tournaments.
"Pretty much from November to April, there's a tournament every
weekend," says Matt's father, Tribal member Lee Hofenbredl. "If you're
still wrestling this late in the season, you have to be pretty tough and
dedicated."
Both Matt and Lee say that most of the out-of-state tournaments
have some very tough competition and that Matt can sometimes tell, by
looking at the roster of who's wrestling that day, how he will fare in his
matches.
Matt plays other sports, such as baseball and football, but says that if
he had to pick one sport to play, wrestling would be the one.
Matt plans to wrestle next year and continue wrestling for the duration
of his high-school career. D
