Houston, the Competition has a Problem

Sophomore grappler earns BHS wrestling team's Athlete of the Month.

It took one day for Matt Houston to serve notice to the state that he'll be a force on the wrestling mat this season.

The 195-pounder won the Bow High School Holiday Tournament in mid-December, and then followed up the accomplishment with a fourth-place showing at the Hollis Holiday Tournament, and a perhaps even more impressive eight-place effort at the 59-team Lowell Holiday Tournament.

In recognition of those accolades, and for Houston's 12-5 overall record to begin the 2012-'13 season, BHS head coach Rob Benincasa named the sophomore standout the team's Athlete of the Month for December.
