Rude awakening for Bushland's Gillmore

Crockett Gillmore entered today's tournament boasting a 24-0 record. His record at the end of round one action sits at 24-1.

Gillmore got beat by Rockwall-Heath's David Tanner in the first period of the match. In a battle for position Tanner reached back and flipped Gillmore over to his back. Gillmore was unable to fight for the entire period, getting pinned with 1:00 left in the first.

Regardless of what happens from this point forward, for Gillmore to have reached the state tournament in his first full season as a wrestler is an amazing accomplishment. The Texas state tournament is one of the toughest tournaments in the country and even the best wrestlers get beat.
