A few months ago the Bellmont Braves did not have a coach. They didn’t have a singlet design. For all intents and purposes, they really didn’t have any official team members other than a couple of graduating eighth graders who hoped there would be a team available to them by the time the season started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of November 11th, 2026, the Bellmont girls wrestling program now has a victory. They defeated the Homestead Spartans in Fort Wayne with a thrilling come-from-behind victory in front of a large crowd Wednesday, 42-30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves filled eleven weight classes in their opening dual and put pressure on Homestead to win more than they were ultimately capable of. The Spartans could not adjust to the lineup shifts drawn up by coach Elley Kuzma and her staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
