Perry took the mat last Friday for Districts in Des Moines.  They received more than they expected from the competition.  During the long day of wrestling and girls trying to qualify for state, Ankeny gave Perry a check.  The Hawks raised almost $900 to give to Perry.  The Jayettes plan to use the money to attend a team camp over the offseason.

Coach TJ Maylum was emotional talking about the support he has seen from opposing schools the last few weeks.  Perry has sparred with schools off the record and seen others wear “blue” during competitions.

Mercedes Ponce and Julie Maylum will be in action Thursday in state competition.  The Raccoon Valley Radio Network will bring you coverage all day during the event.
