It's On!

The boys, stretching it out on day #1

          The 2012/2013 wrestling season has begun.  We are done with 2 practices and it looks to be a very promising season.  We have a nice mix of experienced studs and eager new wrestlers and they have been working extremely hard to learn new skills and improve their existing skills.

          In all aspects of practice so far this season, we have seen exciting improvements for previous years.  The running has been fast-paced, the stretching has been better than ever (despite the photo I posted on facebook), the willingness to learn and improve has been excellent and the intensity during the live wrestling sessions has been strong.  Above all, the attitude has been as  good as any team I have ever coached.  This group of young men will be a joy to work with this season.

          Yesterday, on day #2, we selected team captains.  We are happy to announce, seniors Scott Cooper, Cooper McCauley and Stephen Collins will be leading our team this season.  These three young men have happily accepted the role as leader and will work very hard to help the coaches develop this team into a diciplined, successful group.

"Story Time"

          Many things are different this season, but three things have remained the same.  The first is that the coaches and wrestlers are looking for great things from the Southern Garrett Wrestling team this year, secondly, we still have "story time" every day and thirdly, we still meet in our secret meeting room every day.  These are three traditions that will remain and may never change as long as the Rams are hitting the mats.
