RIGHT NOW I LIKE

We have several new kids in the program this year and I like how my experienced wrestlers are working as a team to help the new guys learn and get better.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE

Still need to work on conditioning and technique.

LEAGUE FAVORITE

There are a lot of good wrestlers in the SCOL but Miami Trace usually has a tough team

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM

As a team last year, we had one of our best years in school history and we just want to improve on that and work real hard and hope that a couple of guys can earn a trip to Columbus in March.
