Fort Polk has a youth wrestling team and they aren’t playing around. There are about 15 wrestlers on the team winning medals from tournaments across the region. The team just returned from the regional competition, ‘Texarkana Classic’ and every wrestler brought home a medal. The team falls under the Directorate of Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation Child and Youth Service Sports Program with wrestlers varying in age from 5 to 14 years. Sgt. Chris Horne, 1st Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment, is one of their coaches. He spoke about the Texarkana Classic.
