Thank you again to all our seniors. Through good times and bad, you have been a dedicated group of athletes. Your leadership has helped our team improve from our first season dual record of 0-10to this year’s record of 9-3. You have also helped us climb the leaderboard at each of the tournaments we compete in. After placing near the bottom of every tournament we competed in 2 years ago, we have placed 1st or 2nd in every tournament so far this year.
The team would also like to thank the Dr. Darrell Loder Family and the Smoky Valley Wrestling Club for donating our mats and uniforms two years ago. And this year, the club made another generous donation to help allow us to purchase our new orange singlets.
