We practice Monday through Saturday," stated Lee Fictum. He continued, " Practicing has helped me to sharpen my skills for the intense wrestling matches."

"I've developed a lot of respect for Coach Boylson. He's doing a great job and has a great heart for the wrestlers. Coach Boylson has shown his team his knowledge of wrestling - guiding carefully and teaching them the skills they need to win." A majority of the JV Wrestlers will stay behind to learn for another year, but the experienced ones will move on to Varsity Wrestling to further challenge themselves in the sport. -Rich Woody
