2nd Annual Friday Night Lights Rocked

The Friends of Massapequa wrestling held a very successful 2nd annual Friday Night Lights tournament. Athletes from near and far, from yesteryear to this year participated in a festive tournament where winning was secondary to oiling up the joints, trying out some new moves, and meeting up with old friends.

A very skilled and powerful Paul Liguori defeats a very formidable opponent, Jamie Franco,  by the score of 3-1 in the finals of the Massapequa Holiday Tournament on December 29, 2007.   Paul exhibits tough defense on his feat while demonstrating the temperament of a skilled champion with his patience in neutral postion.  Paul doesn’t take any sloppy shots, and he never allows the pressure of a close match against the accomplished Jamie Franco to disturb his focus.  Watch these two champions battle it out. It’s a treat.
