With the wrestling season in motion, the boys have put forth more time and effort into their practices now more than ever. Having just wrestled four matches and two tournaments at Chartiers Houston and Macs, the boys have a record of 2-2. Even though the wrestlers have wrestled their biggest rivals, Southside and Burgettstown, the boys still have a long way to go to beat their record. There is more to come out of the boys this season; they may be young, but they are working up to their expectations. With last year’s record 8-6, the wrestlers and coaches are determined to strive for more wins. It’s not enough to just make weight with these boys, it’s winning the matches, getting points on the board, and making it to the playoffs. Junior Scott Merkel, who placed fourth in the Chartiers Houston tournament, said he wants to see everyone improve and have a winning record for the team. That is exactly what the wrestlers plan on doing. After the Mac tournament ended this weekend some of our wrestlers placed: Scott Merkel placed fourth in the 189 weight class, Heath Nye took fourth place in 135, Evan Mengel placed second in 103, and Boe Bonzo placed first in the 125 weight class. All the wrestlers are working hard to make each tournament and each match a win.
